“Then, once inside the tent, they decry the teachings that they knew they would disagree with.”

Yeah that’s what I see happening too all the time. You’re right this is a pattern of behavior. Seems to come down to where the line gets to be drawn. I think that we could have erred on the side of admission of the children into the daycare center. And then give the attendees the option to withdraw because of the teachings and atmosphere.

I think the outcome is the same, it will end up in the courts. However by excluding the children the daycare center has placed themselves in the position of defending their right to exclude children rather than defending their right to teach. Even though the 1st amendment allows both.

But one is a darker defense than the other. And as we know these days ‘feelings’ is more important than law. So from a ‘feelings’ perspective I would have sided with the gay couple in this case because we’re punishing the children for the sins of the parents. However, at the same time the gay couple is clearly looking for trouble. From a constitutional/biblical perspective there’s really no question about the legitimacy of the day care centers position. We’re dealing with ‘OPTICS’ here and also faith in the power of the gospel to overcome the evil attacks from the other side.

Given the option to withdraw, the world always seeks to intrude - to debase that which they do not control.

We disagree that it is a darker defense, in part because I factor the propaganda effect in, where the two women’s arrangement is exposed to children who otherwise would not be taught it was “normal” - the children already enrolled.

My original objection to your posts was your usage of words like “bigoted” when describing a religiously founded objection to admitting the child of a same-sex “marriage”. That is how the world describes Christianity. It is not how a Christian should describe Christianity.

The bottom line is that schools like this don’t just admit children, they admit the entire family into the life of the school/center. By admitting these lesbians’ daughter, they would be admitting the lesbians, with all the deadly poison that ultimately brings.

It is a sound, wise move to reject them. There is no shortage of other schools for the girl.
