One of the newest “social warriors” is a 13 year old seventh grade girl who currently attends a private Catholic school in New Jersey only because a judge has ordered the school to rescind its order expelling her.
Of course the media sides with a selfish family that doesn’t care about anything but its own satisfaction; but when do the constitutional rights of a religious institution prevail?
Here are the facts.
The girl, who is described as an excellent basketball player, was not able to play for her school this year because it was not fielding a girls’ team in her age group.
The girl’s parents, who are vicariously reliving some rebellious phase they should have grown out of years ago, took the school to court to have an activist judge force the girl onto the boys 7th grade team, but surprisingly they were turned away.
