Private schools may chose to place themselves under an accreditation status but they are not required to do so.

However, most of the older and more established ones do and I would assume that the school in question falls into that category.

No, I was referring to the news article from last month where a teacher was fired for taking students on a field trip to a local museum. She was told to go to the museum by the principal, but then a parent complaind that the child saw a statue by Rodin, so the teacher was fired.

The point is, this is outrageous, the museum trip was not, but both teachers were fired.

I stopped there. It's a private school, let them host a midget lesbian mud wrestling contest if they wish.

Ain't life great as a care-free relativist?

But you're right to the extent that this private school can do as they please. But I reserve the right to call them soulless ghouls and amoral cretins for doing so.

I'm not a care-free relativist. I know that if it's a private school the situation will be corrected, because they have a vested interest in seeing that their customers stay happy. I find it as outrageous as anyone else, but at least I know it won't go on for long. That's the beauty of a free market.

Well, you are right. It takes two always (except for when doctors get involved). Often, though, when a decision to obtain an abortion is made the male part of the equation is left out.

That's probably balanced by the number of times the male part of the equation takes the lead. :-\

“I don’t want to polarize things by saying this is one side and that’s another."

I just want them to think this is the only, and correct, side.

[SoldierDad]

It would be nice if both parties would behave responsibly all the time. But, that would mean that they would have to think of others and not just themselves (something way too many people are guilty of). I'll pray for those who needs God's guidance the most.

[Kaylee Frye]

Yup, disgusting behavior, but it is a private school. If they want to be morons, they can be. Parents can take their money elsewhere when they disagree.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Jason Gordon, social science teacher for the school and the trip organizer, said the outing was part of an “activism class.” .....Gordon said the students weren’t permitted to speak with the pro-life demonstrators because he did not want them to become involved in activism--he denied that the student’s participation in the abortuary activities was itself a form of activism.

Lefties always have to lie.  Always.

Diversity: people of lots of different colors and sexual orientation all thinking in lock-stop PC rhythm.

If it's against the law to smoke Cuban cigars, it should be illegal for this guy to teach!

[lesser_satan]

Exactly. How about some ideological diversity on campus for a change!

[linda_22003]

We certainly agree there. :)

[SoldierDad]

Hmmmm. A class on Activism, in which the students cannot engage in Activism, but must only be passive learners of Activism. Interesting curriculum.

“I wouldn’t say it was necessarily both sides,” Gordon said. “I don’t want to polarize things by saying this is one side and that’s another. The opposite of pro-choice is anti-choice. The opposite of pro-life is anti-life. If they say they’re pro-life, I can say I agree with people living. I’m not for people dying. But I’m also for people having a choice. I’m not for people not having a choice to do what they want.”

This is a very stupid man.

Or the increased rate of breast cancer and premature birth
for subsequent pregnancies.

The women I know,family and friends,who have had abortions are deeply hurt and never get over it!

[red irish]

My daughter is 29 and she was just talking to me the other day how so many women she knows do not use any protection or any form of birth control. I really believe that they know there is always the abortion they can count on. No problem!
