Seems like they're penalizing the girl for the actions of the people she lives with. My guess is this will give her a definite opinion on Christianity, at least this particular flavor of it.

I had an low-income acquaintance who was delighted to be able to get a scholarship to a highly regarded Christian school for her elementary-school age daughter. The daughter wrote a research paper in which she quoted a reference to a prehistoric animal. The teacher came down on her like a ton of bricks, humiliating her in front of her classmates and reducing the girl to tears. The mother put her back in public school. I never learned how that experience affected the girl's opinion of Christianity, but I can guess.
