Two things:
1) Congratulations to the school for standing on solid, moral, principle.
2) A BS article in that the liberal writer doesn't understand that the child can not have two parents of the same sex. The writer must understand that the child would not have been born with "parents" such as this.
We must remember to lover the sinner (all of us) but not endorse and/or condone the sin...

The title could read "Two lesbian women deprive girl of a father. Girl not allowed to attend private school due to parents behaviour.” But that wouldn't get across the liberal agenda.
Please pull due to my totally screwing up the article body (got deleted for my comments)...
School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents Sep 23 7:05 AM US/Eastern
ONTARIO, Calif.
A 14-year-old student was expelled from a Christian school because her parents are lesbians, the school's superintendent said in a letter.
Shay Clark was expelled from Ontario Christian School on Thursday.
"Your family does not meet the policies of admission," Superintendent Leonard Stob wrote to Tina Clark, the girl's biological mother.
Stob wrote that school policy requires that at least one parent may not engage in practices "immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style, such as cohabitating without marriage or in a relationship," The Los Angeles Times reported in Friday's edition.
Stob could not be reached for comment by the newspaper. Shay and her parents said they won't fight the ruling.
School administrators learned of the parents' relationship this week after Shay was reprimanded for talking to the crowd during a football game, Tina Clark said.
Clark and her partner have been together 22 years and have two other daughters, ages 9 and 19.
Expelled, eh? Well that'll get the girl the Christian education so many believe she needs given her family situation. (sarcasm)
This would benefit from being in that school.
I wonder what her view of religion will be now. May have lost the opportunity to influence her.
Yep, it would be really wrong to stand on principles, huh? /s
tac·it adj.
1. Not spoken: indicated tacit approval by smiling and winking.
2.
1. Implied by or inferred from actions or statements: Management has given its tacit approval to the plan.
2. Law. Arising by operation of the law rather than through direct expression.
3. Archaic. Not speaking; silent.
I can certainly appreciate that position. I just wonder if it might be more important to shape her spirit in a Christian way and create a strong bond with a loving church community.
I Cor 5: 1ff- 1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. 2And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this? 3Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. 4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature[a] may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord...
...9I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."[b]
New International Version (c) Zondervan.
I think you missed my point. That's fine. We don't have to agree, okay?
So a person can become wicked because of a choice someone else makes that they are powerless to stop?
If the school wants to have a code of conduct for it's students and require them to agree to certain teachings, fine, but to punish a kid for something they are not accountable for is wrong and stupid. This kid will have enough troubles in life without so called Christians pushing her away from the thing that would give her peace.
What about the influence on all the other students when those parents show up to school functions or just when it is found out her parents are gay?
I didn't miss your point. I got it exactly. Your touchy-feel goodism isn't Scriptural, though. Jesus didn't condemn the harlot. He told her to go and sin no more.
Paul made it perfectly clear, (see my quote from Scripture above) that you, as a Christian are to have fellowship (eating, etc) with unGodly people. By allowing the child to remain, the Church would not be obeying Scripture by associating with the two moms.
My biggest interest is in how these two dykes, of 22 years, have ACQUIRED three daughters, of less than 22 years age?
Paul made it perfectly clear, (see my quote from Scripture above) that you, as a Christian are NOT to have fellowship (eating, etc) with unGodly people.
I'm sorry, I don't get the point. Do you mean other parents will then be forced to interact with them? Or that they will influence others to be gay?
Wow. We just don't agree, sorry.
I think the kid certainly got educated about a certain kind of Christian.
The kind that think it's a good idea to punish children for the sins of their parents. At least up to several generations.
Where do we not agree? Is your disagreement with me, or with Paul?
Okay, this is over. Your religion is not mine. We do not agree. Sorry.
