I agree wholeheartedly. I hate that many on FR rejoice this decision as it validates their hatred. Jesus hung out with many 'undesirables', but they needed it the most. Why do modern Christians become what they claim to hate? And they become everything Jesus wasn't.

I think you don't understand the reason why many of us "rejoice" in this decision. I don't see any rejoicing going on for one thing because most everyone I've read feel for this child and the position she's in. And most agree that the environment would probably be good for her. I believe that we should be willing to hang out with "undesirables" and witness to those who need it. But I DON'T believe that we put our children out to pasture to do that for us. Parents need to protect them until they're older. Christians aren't becoming what they hate here. They're obeying the Bible's command to bring up their children as they ought.

This is a school - not a church, and its purpose is to educate Christian children in a Christian environment to prepare them for the world ahead. Leave the walking among the "undesirables" to the adults who have made their decisions about what they believe. In addition, there is nothing Christian about tolerating and accepting willfully sinful behavior. Jesus preached love, even for sinners (perhaps especially for sinners) but that doesn't mean He advocated accepting their behaviors into one's home and implying to one's own children that such behavior is acceptable. Such over-reaching tolerance is exactly what has led so many of today's churches away from true scripture.

Acceptance of a student for a school like that is an implied acceptance of the family, so to accept a family of lesbians is to imply acceptance of homosexuality itself. The girl may be in even greater need of Christian influence than your average kid, but, as most people are aware, the parents are the greatest influence in a child's life, so for a Christian school to attempt to override the values a child is receiving from home is probably a waste of time. The school and the parents must be in agreement in order to achieve any real instillation of values. Meanwhile, the school has to worry about this "family" polluting the other students with pro-homosexuality ideology.

Spoken like someone who doesn't know the scriptures. Jesus quickly condemned sin. When he received sinners, it was to preach repentence. What you want to do is sacrifice children on the alter of political correctness.

Parents who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol should be allowed on school grounds? Parents who are pedophiles should be allowed on school grounds? Lesbians should be allowed on school grounds?

Jesus called these people to salvation, but I have not read where he invited them onto school grounds to influence children.
