The girl did nothing wrong. And to punish her for some percieved wrong of her mother is just plain wrong.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
I have mixed feelings about this. Is it so wrong for parents, through a school, to express a desire to live and go to school in an environment where they are not exposed to today's moral relativism?
Yep. I agree. It's wrong. And stupid.
Of course, as a private institution they have the right to do it, but they didn't HAVE to do it. Instead, they should have asked WWJD.
I agree with you on this, and to be honest it would probably be a good thing for the girl to be exposed to this type of setting. If anything the school should look at this as a challenge to help her understand their ways, the girls "parents" obviously didn't mind or they never would have enrolled her in the first place.
I totally agree with you and was shocked by the comments on this thread.
She's just a kid...
Should she be held responsible for her idiot parents?
Parents can be responsible for their kids - kids can't be responsible for their parents!
What did that girl say that caused her to be reprimanded and got her parents involved?
Obviously, we're not getting all the information. However, it's a private school and they are free to set and enforce their own policies.
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.
