You see the problem here, radioman? If the school keeps the girl, they are still associated with the "parents," who are unrepentent sinners in violation of the contract with school

I do not deny the right of a private school to deny her admission. But, I believe they are not only wrong, they are attacking an innocent child...That is my opinion, and like I said before, my contributions to the Christian charity I contribute to would stop if they discriminated against a child for the behavior of a parent.

The examples you offer do not justify the action of the school. You may suffer because of your drunk employee or your murderous son, but that does not justify the treatment of the child in this case.

This school has thrown away the chance to help a kid simply because they do not like what her mom does with her crotch. This, to a Deist, is a crime against God.

You don't give any evidence of having thought through one thing that Bonaparte said. You don't interact with any of his substance. Your position is visceral, not rational; and certainly not Biblical.

"This, to a Deist, is a crime against God. "

You are condemning the school's behavior because they subscribe to Christianity rather than Deism?

If your answer is "yes," you would seem to be insisting that they be hypocrites in order to secure your approval. Didn't you say in your post 240, "It's the hypocritical behavior of the school that's in question to guys like me"?

I have to admit I'm puzzled, radioman.

First you say, their hypocrisy is what bothers you. Now you appear to say it's their lack of adherence to deism that bothers you.

Which is it?

This "child" is an adolescent, a 14 year old young lady. She's not getting booted out of kindergarten. As I noted before:

The expulsion was difficult for Shay, who said she is upset about being separated from her friends. As for the school's leadership, "They should be embarrassed," Shay said.

She does not appear to be upset about being removed from her Christian environment. She's going to miss her friends.

At the beginning of each and every school year, we receive copies of a Student Code of Conduct. Hubby and I go over it with our boys, then we sign it. I'll bet you anything this young lady signs something very similar--maybe she even has to sign off on the admissions policy agreement. If that is the case, then she knowingly lied.

It's my hope, radioman, that you will take your time responding to the question I just asked you, that you will think it over. There appears to be a significant contradiction in your position and I'd like to see that resolved.

In post 240, you say it's the school's failure to follow their own Christian precepts that bothers you. IOW, it's their hypocrisy (as you see it) that is the problem.

But in your post 247, you seem to say just the reverse, ie. that it's the school's failure to follow the precepts of Deism that bothers you. Deism, which does not subscribe to a providential God, is anathema to Christianity. If this is your position, you would be requiring the school to act hypocritically in order to be in your good graces.

You see the contradiction here, radioman?
