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 haven't seen Genie in ages. I hear she's still a bit too fond of the bottle...
Don't you WISH!:) I hear though, she's felt pretty blue for a while, though she still has kept her light brown hair.
Shew! I was afraid that you weren't going to get that one. There's many a time I have to explain the pun or inform someone who's taken what I said as serious, that I was only doing a dumb one-liner.
There is nothing good and decent about homosexuality.
Promoting homosexuality is just so "gay."
It's a valid comparison. They're both perversion.
Here in Iowa, our RAT governor, Vilsack, got himself involved in promoting 3 scholarships for deserving homosexuals. I wonder how one proves they're homosexual. Of course, these same people who think they're so broadminded in promoting homosexuality, go nuts at the thought of someone smoking. Go figure!
Yep. Great minds think alike. Now if only I could think.
Have a wonderful New Year too.
later pingout.
Can't say I disagree. As for proving it, I wonder if it's a live demonstration or if there's random testing.
Undoubtedly through a "smoke test" (Beavis laugh).
"Here's $100,000 to go to Brown, son. All you've got to do is service Bruce over there, to prove you're legit!"
What does homosexuality become once it's been promoted? Is there a higher pay grade?
Probably in general, though I don't think there's any colonel of truth to it and it's probably a "private" ceremony though I've seen some "major" ones too.
That would suck.
Wells are deep subjects. I'm nothing compared to some of the people on here and it has to be a "spur" of the moment thing so to speak. However, when I can get a good BS paragraph going, that's what I really like. What's even funnier is if someone reads it and thinks it's legit.
You're pretty good yourself.
Yep, in the Lesbo world, for every Portia Di Rossi, there are a thousand Helen Thomases.
I'll gladly volunteer my neighbors' yappy puggle for the honor.
Heard about those "half" breeds.
