School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents

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...

[Alter Kaker]

Jesus didn't condemn the harlot. He told her to go and sin no more.

This girl isn't a harlot, nor is she sinning. Why punish the girl?

[roylene]

In general when a child is enrolled into a private Christian school there is a code of conduct the parent / s must sign. These mock parents knew at the onset what was expected.
There is a poster would opined that it might be a law suit setup - could be - and would not be surprising.

She's just a kid... Should she be held responsible for her idiot parents?

No. She should never have been allowed to be raised by these two perverts. Sorry if I don't play PC with you, but to me, homosexual activity is more than just sin. It is perversion of the greatest thing God gave to man AND woman. We have the charge to people the earth. Gay activity has given us more than just the biggest, most costly diease ever, AIDS. It has also given us NAMBLA and kiddy porn. Choose the rest of the ills from homosexual activity.

I have raised four children, and am finishing with my fifth (she's 16). My oldest son was given grief because he chose to be a cheerleader. He was 6'2, and "buff". He loved grabbing those girls and flinging them in the air. They got awards. He's a cop, now.

His brother, was class clown (still is). He was a cheerleader, too. They got to spend a lot of time with the cutest girls at school, duh. He picked up his brother's trumpet, from a closet shelf, for his 10th grade elective. He enjoyed playing it. He became first chair. He attended five years at a private Christian college, on full scholarship. He met a girl from Va, married, has two daughters, and now is teaching Band. His wife teaches at a local elementary school. He's still the class clown. But, you should hear him sing like "Satchmo", and play just as good... (he's for hire!)

I have two daughters. They are both mommies, that choose to work outside the home. They don't need to. They have daddies around. I have two gorgeous grandson's, one from each. They are glad they have boys to raise...

My baby daughter came along with a new wife, five years ago. Having been unmarried for 8 years, I gave it another whorl. Five years and counting. I forgot about teenage girls. Now, I remember.

I was stupid when I was young. I was president of our church's youth group. After Sunday evening meetings, several of us would "adjourn" would go hang out at friends houses. Our favorite place was in a garage, where the family stored casks of homemade wine. You can read betwen the lines.

WE, as a "modern" society have allowed perversion to force us to lock up our kids, from strangers. As long as TOLERATE evil, it will remain. Rape was once a capital offense. Now, it is a slap on the wrist.

I have a different message. I'm a bigot. I do not wish to have my children or grandchildren, going to school with these girls. They might want one to come visit their home sometime. It is a den for iniquity... sorry, if that hurts your feelings! I do not tolerate homosexual behavior. They are an abomination to God. I agree, with Him.

Your touchy-feel goodism isn't Scriptural, though.

Neither is your shrill bigotry. You say Paul tells us not to have traffic with the un-Godly (which is not exactly what he said, by the way), yet Jesus ate and talked with the publicans and the harlots. When challenged, he asked who is more in need of attention, the Godly or the un-Godly? And one absolutely cannot visit punishment for the sins of the parent on the child. This school is clearly acting in a very un-Christian manner.

If you want to make an argument that creates a rift between the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of Paul, go right ahead. But don't claim scriptural authority because you don't have it.

[MEGoody]

But He did speak out specifically against divorce, and nobody seems to have a problem ignoring that.

Who is this 'nobody' you are speaking of?

[MEGoody]

Why punish the girl?

It's not about punishment. It's about abiding by terms agreed to when the kid is signed up to go to private school.

[trubluolyguy]

Last I checked, no one had a "right" to attend a private school. A private school can make up it's own rules. Since this one is a Christian school, it should surprise no one that they would not allow people who pervert the meaning of the word family.

As far a the gay thing? Screw whomever you wish, just stop involving children in your perverted lifestyle, and expecting everyone else to accept it.

Punishing the girl? Not really. I am sure there are a great many fine public schools in the area that promote the homo-perve lifestyle as normal. She can attend one of those.

[grellis]

Why punish the girl?

You have fallen into the trap. This girl's mommies set her up. It is a private school. If they did not know of the rules beforehand (which I doubt) they are stupid, stupid, stupid. If they were aware of the rules, they were setting the girl up for expulsion.

We already have very little say in what goes on in public schools. If we start ceding ground on private schools, we have lost the battle over organized education entirely.

[roylene]

Brilliant!

[MEGoody]

This school is clearly acting in a very un-Christian manner.

It's a Christian school. The rules for attendance were clearly laid out and agreed to by the parents when they signed their daughter up to attend. It's the "lesbian" mother's fault not the school's.

There is no point in a child attending a Christian school if said child isn't being raised in a Christian home. It's a waste of everyone's time. The school isn't an evangelistic organization. It is a school for crying out loud.

If you want a Christian school that caters to children of homosexuals, open your own.

[clee1]

Be ye not unequally yoked with the unrighteous.

A private organization has the right to chose its associations. This girl, and her lezzy "parents" are not the responsibility of the rest of the school to deal with.

Having said that, you WOULD think that a Christian organization would do something to counteract the pro-fag lifestyle this youngster is daily subjected to.

[nyconse]

No- this is just the gay agenda storming the gates ...they can not stand the fact that some people refuse to accept their lifestyle as wholesome...etc...they don't want tolerance but complete acceptance. I say no...if parents are not following the teaching of Christianity then a Christian school has the right to refuse to accept their children.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

It's not me - it's Scripture!

Seriously, according to the "DON'T JUDGE ME!" crowd, we can't even preach the gospel to the lost. How are we to determine who is lost and who is saved if we don't make a righteous judgement?

[Cvengr]

I also support the private school in refusing to sign a contract or enter into an agreement with illegitimate guardians.

Many elementary and secondary educators agree that the most important aspect of their student's education is a proper home environment.

If the behavior of the guardians/parents at home is contradictory to the school environment, the authority of the school is undermined with respect to the student exposed to both. Previous generations would have removed the children from the custody of perverse parents to preserve the integrity of the society, family, and institution of marriage. Our generation has chosen to tolerate perversion rather than facing the damage those perversions induce upon future generations. The consequences will come back on our society unfavorably for years to come.

[PatriotGirl827]

I think the school made a great move by letting folks know they do not condone that behavior. Part of the problem of why these "lifestyle" choices are being forced down our throats, is because there are not enough people (in this case, institutions) standing up and saying "this is not right."

[pageonetoo]

This school is clearly acting in a very un-Christian manner.

Why, because they choose to separate themselves from the sins of the family? This is a Church school. The people of the church have the right to set whatever standards, and keep their children away from the activities of some disrupters. Can't a church set its own rules, or do you have something to say about that.

Paul tells us quite a bit. So does Jesus...

Luke 13: 18ff-

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast

18Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches."

20Again he asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough."

22Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?"

He said to them, 24"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.'

"But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

26"Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'

27"But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' -NIV

[roylene]

Again brilliant point!

[nyconse]

A private school is usually small and intimate group of like minded people-I believe that one must have standards or there is no reason to have a private school.. the girls parents knew this would happen. It was done to provoke the sort of sympathetic response on this thread. There is a serious effort to turn homosexuality into a warm fuzzy lifestyle-sorry it is incompatible with Christianity.

[Carry_Okie]

There are two problems here. The first is that the school accepted the child in the first place without performing due diligence OR that the parents chose to mislead the school to the point of criminal fraud.

Once the child was accepted, the case becomes very different, because the child develops relationships with both classmates and teachers. Uprooting the child at that point is a cruel and destructive thing to do.

Personally, I would have kept the kid and filed charges for criminal fraud with the provision that the parents could pull the kid and the charges would be dropped.

The distinction is important. Neither the school nor the child should be the focus of action here; it should be the parents who misrepresented themselves to the school. Legal action should be taken accordingly.

[MamaB]

I have another question about this. The school site says that the parents have to attend church. I wonder if they did.
