What can I say? I'm an agreeable guy.

I think I've posted this a couple times already, but I'll post it again with careful emphasis...

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn't talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or who are greedy or are swindlers or idol worshipers. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a Christian

yet indulges in sexual sin

, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler."

-- 1 Corinthians 5:9-11

To get their "daughter" into that school, they proclaimed themselves adherent to that Christian school's Article of Faith. In the process, they lied to accomplish this. In addition, they proudly persist in their sin while their "daughter" takes their part over God's.

Do you see why the school has no choice but to dissolve their association with this family?

Much has been made on this thread about how blameless and innocent this poor child is. Her expulsion from this school has been characterized as an underserved and unprovoked "attack," "punishment," etc. One poster maintained that she was a "good student" and a "credit to her school."

But what is the reality? As stated in the article, long before the eruption of this controversy, she had admittedly told several of her friends about her lesbian "parents."

Those other children remained silent about this violation of the family's contract with the school. Otherwise, Shay Clark would have been expelled long before last Thursday. So the reality is that these other children were drawn into the deception, concealing guilty knowledge that unrepentent sinners who were perpetrating a fraud on the school and mocking God were pulling it off. By this means, these children were placed in the fearful position of having to choose between "betraying" their friend or deceiving their own parents and school.

Assuming they haven't already done so, that school must now ask those "friends" to come forward and reveal themselves. And they will either do so, suffering fear and humiliation, or they will continue to hide, suffering from the festering poison of bad conscience, which separates them from God.

This is what little Miss Credit-To-Her-School has brought upon these other kids.

And now this same girl, who did this to her "friends" at that school, is stridently endorsing her "parents'" sinful "lifestyle," proclaiming that the school "should be ashamed of themselves."

Are we really talking about an innocent little girl here? Is she really the "good student" and "credit to her school" that one of our posters has called her?

And then there's the nagging question concerning why she was recently reprimanded for something she said to the crowd at a school sporting event.

Just what did she say to that crowd and why is not being reported by the media?

Isn't it odd, reading that a school cheerleader was scolded for speaking to a crowd at a sporting event but seeing nothing reported about the content of her speech that day?

Inquiring minds...

In view of what we've now discussed, do you still maintain this has nothing to do with religion? Do you believe that on the basis of the facts we now have in hand, it is fair to conclude that the school administrators' action arose solely from a simple distaste for lesbianism rather than the necessity of upholding their obligations as Christian believers?

Or do you agree with me that attributing this action to simple distaste is pure speculation, unsupported by the facts we now have in hand?
