"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."

Interesting that Christ, from whom the term Christian is derived, didn't seem to adhere to such a proscription. I think Paul's message was primarily directed toward other members. I'm not sure how that applies to a school setting.

Obviously, the school had every right to expel the student. Her parents are to be commended for not making a big deal about it and suing the school. Sounds like they're accepting the decision.

Jesus did not fellowship with the people. He circulated among them, then separated Himself to teach, and nurture His immediate followers, the twelve. Read a little closer. He MINISTERED to the people.

Indeed, Paul was preaching to the converted. This was a Christian School. How would it NOT apply? Is the Christ taught in the school supposed to be different, than that heard about on Sunday morning?

Her parents have no issue they can sue for. The gum't does not forcefeed everybody. If the school takes no gum't funds, they are not bound by your PC rules...

Her "parents" are homosexual. They are in charge of three yound women. They say they have been together for 22 yrs, these two "parents". So where did the kids come from? Where do you think they are headed.

Your PC stance sounds nice, but it is unScriptural. It is also not "Christian", to discount Scripture, because you "feel" bad about the kids. But, I guess you don't have those standards, by which to measure...

Paul never met Jesus. I read and try to follow the words of Christ, not Paul.
