Girls Suspected Of Being Lesbians Expelled From School
Teens File Lawsuit Against School
POSTED: 7:23 am EST December 30, 2005
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Two 16-year-olds who were expelled from a Lutheran high school because they were suspected of being lesbians have sued the school for invasion of privacy and discrimination.
The lawsuit, filed last week in Riverside County Superior Court, seeks the girls' re-enrollment at the small California Lutheran High School, unspecified damages and an injunction barring the school from excluding gays and lesbians.
Kirk D. Hanson, an attorney for the girls, said the expulsion traumatized and humiliated them.
"Their entire support network was pulled out from under them because of suspicions about their sexual orientation," said Hanson, who declined to say whether his clients are lesbians.
The school is on Christmas break until next week, and messages left for school officials Thursday were not immediately returned.
The lawsuit alleges that the school's principal, Gregory Bork, called the girls into his office, grilled them on their sexual orientation and "coerced" one girl into saying she loved the other.
The next day, the lawsuit says, Bork told the girls' parents they could not stay at the school with "those feelings." In a Sept. 12 letter to the parents, Bork acknowledged that officials had seen no physical contact between the girls but said their friendship was "uncharacteristic of normal girl relationships and more characteristic of a lesbian one."
"Such a relationship violates our Christian Code of Conduct," Bork wrote in his letter, which was included as an exhibit in the lawsuit. He called the girls' behavior "scandalous" and "immoral."
Hanson said the 142-student school in Wildomar, Calif., must comply with state civil rights laws because it functions as a business by collecting tuition.
"There's a lot of hypocrisy going on here," Hanson said. "The school is claiming the girls were expelled because their conduct wasn't within the Christian code. But at the same time, (the school) has students who aren't Christians and are even Jewish."
I just broke my own rule; I used the fine old word "gay" in the new perverted manner. I should have said "my homosexual brother".
And I suppose you would if they he a sexual orientation for your husband? Animals? And you accepted that as normal? Just one of those things?
It's from that perspective you are defending.
Are you seriously drawing a parallel between having sex with animals and being gay? Seriously?
Gives it a soulful tone I suppose.
Of course the principal might have been mistaken, in which case there might be recourse with his superiors. Who knows with these fundies?////////S
It depends on if the animal is of the same sex or not. hehe
It's not just abnormal - it is perversion.
Ditto
Remember this?....
"Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyabba-dabba-doooooooo!"
Flintstones... Meet the Flintstones,
They're a modern stoneage family.

They're a page right out of history.
Let's ride with the family down the street.

When you're with the Flintstones,
have a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we'll have a gay old time
No wonder Barney had that weird laugh.
They are all paraphilic disorders. Yes of course. I don't distinguish between pathologies. One disorder is equal to the next. Tell me how they are different? Tell me how a "sexual orientation" for an adult consenting relative is any different.
Don't forget the "gay 90's"--1890's that is.
Sexual attraction to another human being is the same as sexual attraction to a non-human being?
Paraphilia denotes sexual disordered behavior...the "attraction" doesn't distinguish between human or non human. Now if you had an attraction to children how is that not any different? We're not talking about civil liberties here, we are talking about disordered behavior.
Never thought of that, although I did wonder about The Great Gazoo ;~)
At least Barney raised Bambam. Now Mr. Slate. hmmm....
we are talking about disordered behavior.
I get lots of disorders wrong. I don't know if something goes in dis order or dis order or dis order or dis order or.....
