Maybe. But think about it. This girl will want to invite her friends home. Would you want your child in that environment? Even just to visit? Parents pay a lot of tuition to provide not only good instruction but a safe environment. I'm divided on this one, because what you say is true. When I first read about this, I tended to agree that the child should stay. But the more I've thought about it, I've begun to have reservations.

A few months ago (or more) ago there was similar dispute on a thread about a visibly pregnant Catholic school student marching at her graduation. There also was a story about a child expelled from Christian school because her mother was an exotic dancer.

You are right, there are no easy answers to these dilemmas. What I never can grasp, however, is how the same parents who turn their back on Christianity, and who often are the ones criticizing or showing open hostility to Christianity, are the ones who are anxious for their child to have the benefit of education in that environment. It seems to me that if homosexual parents kept to their own priciples, they would not choose to enroll their children in a Christian school. I do think one of the most compelling arguments is that the parents of other students have made a choice (and sacrifices) to ensure their children attend school in a specific moral environment. But the question as to how the school can show a "hate the sin, love the sinner" attitude really is a knotty one.
