Private school. They can make their own rules. Don't like it? Tough. Send your kids to the public school or another private school. Ah, but liberal Left Coast judges can make their own rules for the entire nation to be subjected to.
What they are trying to lay the foundation for, IMHO, is to have ALL schools subject to discrimination laws, just as other public accomodation like hotels, restaurants, etc. McDonald's and Motel 6 (or privately-owned businesses like Joe's Eats and Apu's Sleep-Lodge) can't refuse to serve a person based on the color of their skin. This is merely expandng the infection of federal rule over our private choices of personal association. I'd give them 1-in-3 odds of winning in the state courts (and with 3 levels to appeal to...), and 1-in-4 odds at the federal level. The lower court's decision will be critical, so the gay lobby has probably shopped around carefully for the "correct" district.

LOL, I guess I could've read the article to verify my theory.

I think you are correct. This is one reason our church/school has questions regarding how some of the voucher systems would work. In general the voucher idea sounds great but if it is set up in a certain way it could leave the door open for the government to dictate how to run our school. Note that I am a supporter of vouchers as long as there are no ties to the government.

Exactly, Teacher. We saw this one coming, didn't we?
Thanks for the ping, Salvation.
