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...
I can't even remember if I pung it out....
I've been officially Over Whelmed lately.
Did you catch the action on this one? It's still going on and frankly, could use a little backup (there are a couple of stalwart freepers on there but the adversary is quite the word twister):

Just in case I didn't ping this one out, I think I missed it. No one else missed it, though - a lively discussion going on, weigh in if you haven't!
Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.
I knew of a small private school quite a few years ago that had very strict rules. Any kid that watched unacceptable TV programs (and what kind were spelled out to the parents) was asked to leave the school. The parents were glad to be able to send their kids to a school that had very high moral standards.
I have trouble with the school's policy. There seems to be something missing here. I'm guessing we're not getting all the information about the school or the story.
Again, she spoke to the crowd, and while the article lends a liberal slant and doesn't say what she spoke about, it got her expelled. It doesn't take a genious to know what she talked to the crowd about.
The kids who went to the school understood the rules and in general were accepting and understanding of them. I know a lot of the kids now that are grown up and have kids of their own, and they are very fond of their old teachers and have happy memories...
Yes they do, however, sin is bad, others things are abominations.
Somewhere in the first 40 or so comments is a link to the San Luis Obispo newspaper article, which makes it a little clearer. Apparently the school found out about her home life after she talked (with another cheerleader) to a "crowd" at a game. It sounds as though she was perhaps defending her mother and mother's girlfriend; who knows. The final paragraph mentions, for some reason, a situation in the public school of a "lesbian" high school student suing the school department for suspending her because she wouldn't stop PDA with her girlfriend.
Odd how it was in that article; there may be some kind of connection.
I can understand both sides, kind of... anyone naturally would want the best for that girl. But kids raised in homosexual households have a lot of problems, one of which is confusion about their own sexuality. The link below has a lot of insight into homosexual parenting and what it does to children:

Expert: Many Promote Homosexual Parenting With Poor Reasons, Faulty Premise
Good to see you!
Idiot
"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."
Would Paul advocate turning away "sinners" from attending the church? Would I be welcome to attend services at your church?
I have a suspicion that there is a LOT more to this story than is in the article. I have a suspicion that if the girl kept quiet about her "two mommies" she would still be in school. But to be in a school, of which the rules are no homosexual parents, and have to hide - that's no good either. Note that the article states she was expelled after speaking to a "crowd" at a game; it would be enlightening to know what was said, and by whom.
It's just another example of why homosexual parenting leads to problem after problem, and this is a small one compared to kids with sexual identity problems, more promiscuity, increased percentage of depression, drug use and so on. If you haven't yet, click the link I posted earlier about homosexual parenting - it just isn't healthy for children. Somewhere on FR is the testimony of a woman raised by a homosexual father and his live-in; she testified in Canada against "gay" marriage because of what it does to the children in those households.
In this situation there is no happy solution.
I'd love that place!
We are not usually on the same page, but that jumped out at me, too. Even made me suspicious! ;)
I mentioned that I know a lot of kids who went to that school and most of them are super great adults, many with children of their own.
I haven't had a TV in years. There's FR for news, books for knowledge, the world outside for exercise, people and animals for relating to, and all kinds of craft stuff/tools/musical instruments to learn on and have fun with and make things with.
Sitting on the couch with a remote in hand hoping that something decent will turn up to watch is not a happy way to live.
