"As a concerned parent, I didn't think it was appropriate policy," Shan Anderson said. "I don't think a kid should be ostracized because of the perceived failings of their parents, whether it's sexual orientation or marriage or fidelity or past criminal behavior.

Right. I spent 16 years in Catholic schools. I don't ever remember being taught anything about Acceptance. Forgiveness yes, when the sinner repented. As for Acceptance, it was just the opposite. There was always a big thing made about doing anything that would spread scandal.
