SEATTLE (AP) — Students at a Seattle-area Catholic school are gaining national attention for their protest over the forced departure of a gay vice principal.

An online petition started by the senior class president of Eastside Catholic was the third fastest growing U.S. petition on change.org Friday, attracting around 15,000 signatures in one day.

The petition was launched after Vice Principal Mark Zmuda resigned under pressure from school administrators after they learned he had married his same-sex partner.

Bradley Strode said the students want to effect change within the wider Catholic Church, with an ultimate goal of altering the Catholic Church's stance on gay marriage.

These kids are obviously being forced to attend a Catholic school. Of course, these schools tend to be academically rigorous and a good choice for college-bound kids, but the catholic part seems to be dismissed by them.

It’s this kind of journalism that makes it look like this is the prevailing mindset. It isn’t!

Alcoholism is not genetic, but it is spiritually hereditary.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Deuteronomy 5:9-10

Exactly. A few students and a bunch of online lefties plus the media is what is running this “protest”.

Why don’t they just start their own religions? They’ll get rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Thirty years ago, many people would have thought that a ‘gay’ Vice Principal was the kind of person needed as a VP; someone who was happy and carefree, not someone with an immoral and unnatural sexual addiction!

An aside: Why is it that so many self-described ‘gay’ people are not gay (happy & carefree)?

It’s going against nature. We genetically want to eat, but some people become anorexic. Anorexia is not genetic, it’s a disorder that goes against the natural functioning of the body. Same with homosexuality.

Part of the problem is there are few strong Christian churches. They have sold out as well.

maybe they need to think about how these homosexual men have their sex and the diseases they get, plus the unhealthy way they do it.

These homosexuals off the media are made out to be cuddly fluffy kind people who want to be accepted and that is far from the truth, most of them want to force their perverse agenda onto us all, force us to shut up and ignore religion or their self beliefs.

They infiltrate the military, Govt, media , schools, PTO’s and churches to change those institutions from within.

nail on head, if Churches and others spoke out against this agenda then we could turn their agenda back just like we have on the war on Christmas or Chic-fil-A.

It’s the feely good we all love crap which enables their agenda to go forward.

Look how well all their parents and grandparents did with altering the Church's stance on birth control and abortion... not.

My neighbor told me a great story of what happened in his son’s Catholic school:

It was “back to school night” and the teacher mentioned that she was asked what she would teach about homosexuality by a parent who was concerned because her child’s aunt was “gay” and they did not want the child to see the aunt in a negative light.

The teacher said she is required to uphold the official Church stance but would do her best to minimize it. My neighbor raised his hand and asked “ My son’s uncle is a convicted drug dealer and I see posters all over the walls of this class about not doing drugs...will you be minimizing this as well?

The parents laughed out loud and the teacher had no idea what to say. Point made.

Nearly all the teachers and principals in this nation ( private and government) were trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for Catholic schools as well.

Even if the teachers aren't Marxist this indoctrination likely leaks through into the classroom.

May God save our nation.

Who are the students who started this petition. They should be expelled from school. Period.

It's a liberal cause so nothing will happen. Now if it were a conservative cause...well you know what the outcome would be.

Thirty years ago, they would have said, take your kid, and take your money and get out.

That's precisely the phrase I mentioned to my wife yesterday when we discussed this incident.

Also wondered why this guy was hired and kept on the faculty so long. Those who hired him and didn't remove him before this should now be held accountable.

Also infiltrated the Catholic Church orchestrated by Communists- to destroy religion in United States. They recruited gays to the Church, destroy from within, was the only way to take down America.....

I think it’s a combination of things...some people are born with hormone imbalances too much testosterone or estrogen.

Then you have society and environmental exposures: some are sexually abused at early age by same sex person or opposite sex, thus destroying them sexually. I know quite a few Lesbians who were raped by step dad’s, uncles- they grew up hating and distrusting men-found healing with females.

I think single momma’s today make their little boys “momma’s boys”...my son refuses to date any more single momma’s with little boys because they are pansified (his words).

TV and media exposure to children, all the females rubbing up and kissing on one another on TV; guys doing the same...

It’s many things in my opinion that have caused the explosion of younger folks into gay life.

I don’t believe all are born gay- there are folks who had gay relationships who then ended it and got married to opposite sex partner. Ellen’s Degeneress’ ex GF is one example....
