Ugh. You should've thrown Rosie O'Donnell in there, too, for good measure---might as well make it a three-fer.

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."
The truth is they would be happier in a public school where this is prized behavior.
I wonder which prize they would get. Actually, they probably would get harassed there too or anywhere in general.
Ugh. You should've thrown Rosie O'Donnell in there, too, for good measure---might as well make it a three-fer.
I think that their insistence that homosexual students be allowed to attend the school in the future pretty conclusively proves that they are.
LOL!
"And then the principal held a gun to my head and starting screaming: 'Say you love her! Say it! Say it or you die!' - and then he shot a puppy to show us he meant business!"
but bad to eat...
Here's another overeducated buffoon, unaware of the meaning of certain words, or arbitrarily redefining them.
They were expelled for behavior, not for their ethnicity or religion. He can't tell the difference?
A very hot interrogation ...........
This sounds like a Howard Stern bit!
What kind of puppy?
Another reason for a private school not to accept it and to remain just that, private.
I would picture Catherine Zeta Jones and Shania Twain if they were of that persuation.
;-)
True. My nephew reports that homosexual relationships are the "in thing" in schools now.
It may have been a sweater puppy.
LOL
Yes it does.
It's Mrs. Cleaver to you Eddie--hee, hee.
Too well done or rare for my tastes depending on which way you look at things. hehe
YES MA'AM (salute).
Now that's a funny image. It also reminds me of Kinison's standup routine on homosexuality and Chjristianity: "You can't do it! I think that's pretty clear! Suck a ___, lose the kingdom! It's that simple, folks!"
