School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents

So we should all run background checks on the families of people we associate with?

If you are running a Christian school, or any other Christian association, you should be able to control your membership. I don't condemn the girls, but I would not want my 16 year old daughter visiting their home...

[bahblahbah]

I find it funny because in an earlier thread you said, "The Catholic School system has become a refuge for all Christians sick of the relentless PC garbage in the public school system." Why would lesbians send their children to a Christian school but as a ploy to legitimize their lifestyle? And obviously this Christian school doesn't consider them Christians so why should they give them refuge?

[Stone Mountain]

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.

Word.

[pa mom]

And this girl may be lost to religion for the rest of her life. I'm all for a private institution making their own rules, but it's a sad situation.

[bahblahbah]

So you can't see how students will be influenced seeing a fellow student(who they may be friends with and go to sleep overs, social functions, etc) with lesbian parents. Give me a break.

[bahblahbah]

I swear, I wonder how many people who aren't advocating expelling the student would get out of a pool if they saw somebody else pee in it.

[pa mom]

I don't understand what influence you are concerned about. The only I can think of is that they lesbians would attempt to seduce the daughter's friends, is that what you mean? Or is it that the kids will see that there are lesbian couples and be more inclined to see that as normal?

You were not specific.

[pageonetoo]

Okay, this is over. Your religion is not mine. We do not agree. Sorry.

Are you a Christian (a believer/follower of Christ)? I am.

I believe the Sciptures are the inspired Word of God. I agree with Paul, when he tells the Corinthian Church, to get rid of the cancer. In the first passage, he notes how proud they are of their acceptance of this man having relations with his daughter-in-law. He made quick note of their easy willingness to look over the sins. Then he condemns them for their attitude of non-chalance.

Then, he goes on to tell them to kick the sinner out, at once. Further, he chides them to keep away from that sort of garbage. It's Paul, not me...

The children will see consistency. They don't need to see tolerance.

My children never saw Santa Clause, and I didn't teach them to believe in him. I taught them about a baby Jesus, and we gave gifts to them, to celebrate Jesus' birthday. My kids never spoiled Christmas for their friends. They were taught consistency. We have never hunted eggs, either, but we have eaten a lot of chocolate.

God is very jealous of His people...

If you don't agree with Paul, then we surely are of a different "religion"...

[bahblahbah]

So what are the chances that this student would grow up to see homosexuality as a sin?

I swear, this reminds me of the case where a child was expelled because their mother was a stripper. That school was demonized by practically everybody because they see it as punishing the child. Nobody takes into the concerns of the other parents.

[bahblahbah]

OK, I can't so this anymore. How you come up with "seducing" out of the word influence I will never know.

[pa mom]

I do not want to get into a theological discussion with you. I believe in my faith, which is not yours.

[pa mom]

That's why I'm confused. I really am, I am not being rude.

You said there is an influence but I don't know what you mean by that. I was just throwing out what it MIGHT be. I don't necessarily disagree with you; I just don't understand your point.

Please, what is the lesbian parents' influence.

[Sloth]

You need to read closer.

"...I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people — not 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."

Expelling the immoral applies to avowed Christians, NOT everyone, and certainly not people who are merely RELATED to the immoral people. Jesus' ancestors included prostitutes & incestuous relationships, after all.

[lady lawyer]

These two dykes have used these innocent children to promote their agenda. The school just prevented them from using other people's children for the same purpose.

[willyboyishere]

Oh God, just when I thought we could breathe easier because God's best friend FReeper "Bob Celeste",another Scripture quoting homophobe, seemed to finally be gone from this forum, here comes YOU with your holier-than-thou righteous Islamic form of "Christianity",
and you expect everyone to salute it. Take a hike.

[bahblahbah]

Seriously, were you home schooled? Do you no longer remember the social structure of schools? When word would have got out that her parents would be lesbians that is exactly going to be known for. It will be mentioned often during her tenure of a school student. THERE IS NO GOOD THAT CAN COME OUT OF HER STAYING THERE. NONE. Not for the child, and not for the school.

[lady lawyer]

Disagree with you, Bro. Grig. The school is entitled to have and enforce standards. The real villains are these two women.

[bahblahbah]

Ugh, if you consider his root statemet as an "Islamic" form of Christianity it won't be long for anti-Christian bigots like yourself to throw us to lions.

[pa mom]

There is a boy in my son's school with lesbian parents. He doesn't get teased. And another on another son's soccer team. The kids even care (and they are 14, so they understand.)

[bahblahbah]

First of all, I'm highly skeptical that a parent really knows what their child is up to these days. Just 7 years ago when I was 14 I drank and smoked marijuana(long before becoming a Christian) and my parents never found out. This situation will result in two bad situations. She will be picked on, or the other children will accept homosexuality as being normal.
