Girl, 5, adopted by same-sex couple is kicked out of Louisiana kindergarten because her lesbian mothers don't fit the Christian school's values: 'This was a big slap in the face'

A five-year-old girl was kicked out of a Louisiana Christian school because administrators said her lesbian parents didn't fit with the school's values.

Zoey Parker, 5, got the boot from the Bible Baptist Academy in DeQuincy, just two days before she was due to start kindergarten there.

Her parents, Emily, 28, and Jennie Parker, 31, a same-sex couple who have been married since 2016, said the school's director and pastor called them suddenly into a meeting on Saturday.

'They informed us that Zoey wouldn't be able to go to school there anymore because of our lifestyle choices,' Jennie, told KLPC.

Zoey - who is Emily's niece, and whose father died in 2020 - previously attended the school for pre-K, but after the Parkers adopted her this summer, Bible Baptist Academy said they were no longer interested.

The Parkers first shared their story in a Facebook post, and since then they said the community support they received was overwhelming, saying numerous Christian schools in the area reached out to say Zoey would be welcome there.

Zoey was finally enrolled in one of those schools, starting at the Hamilton Christian School in Lake Charles this week.

'There are good Christians out there. The whole community of DeQuincy has showed us what it is to be a good Christian and to not preach hate like this,' Jennie told NBC News, 'They are the reason why we kept faith.'

Zoey's father was killed in an industrial accident at work in 2020 when he was just 22. Her mother is also no longer in her life, it is unclear why, and on August 3 Emily and Jennie officially adopted her.

'She lost her father, she lost her mother, and now she's losing her school, which she loves very much,' Jennie said.

The ‘same sex couple’ were using their young child as a political tool.

The child was damaged by the parent’s hatred of traditional Americans and their desire to keep their pity party (only for themselves) going.

What’s strange is gays wonder why so many of their children commit suicide. Here’s a hint: don’t use a 5 year old as a tool for YOUR hatred... don’t use a five year old as a tool for anything.

Did they send her to a Christian school because they wanted her to be a Christian?

Yes, private religious school, their rules. The real problem is that two homosexuals were allowed to adopt this 5 year old girl. That is the problem.

Are schools like this one associated with a specific church? For example, is Bible Baptist Academy associated with Bible Baptist Church?? If so, then wouldn’t the parents attend the church and know enough to not attend the school? Or are they banned from both?

Can you guess which one plays the guy?






BTW, the little girl is innocent. It is such a shame the kids are dragged into this.

Wouldn't they attend a church first?

I had to deal with this problem when I was chairman of a Christian school.

Most of these schools have an enrollment contract which states something like “We recognize that Little Sally will be taught the Christian religion, and we contract not to deny or disparage its essential tenets at home”.

Raising a child in a home with unmarried parents or with two persons of the same sex engaging in sexual relations while proclaiming in public that it is normal or blessed by God is considered by most Christian school governing bodies as “denying or disparaging” the Christian religion.

To be fair, most of these schools are more likely to accept a child of heterosexual fornicators that they are a child of a same-sex couple, but then there is that whole abomination thingy to deal with.

Most of the time, when a homosexual or lesbian couple brings their child to enroll at a school which teaches that the couple is an abomination, they are using the child to attack the fundamentals of the school, which fundamentals they despise.

It’s not “punishing the child” to refuse a contract signed in bad faith.

"Says her father died but no mention of the natural mother?"


Toward the end of the article, it mentions that the real mother isn't in the little girl's life, and it is unknown why not (or something like that).

Isn’t it weird how lesbians prefer to have female kids and gays prefer male kids?

Actions DO HAVE consequences.

Where did I suggest otherwise?

If you’re a parent, I’d be very hard pressed to want to trust you to instruct a minor or disadvantaged adult.

So I'm a groomer because I believe the consequences should be assigned to the perpetrators rather than to an innocent child? I'd be careful about throwing around insinuations of pedophilia if I were you. IRL these kinds of baseless accusations get you sued for defamation.

But a child in that home environment NEEDS the guidance of a Christian school, if only to learn that her “parents” are wrong.

🇺🇸🎚 I totally agree.


At some point however, the most diplomatic and meek person ever walking amongst us was mocked mercilessly, beard ripped out of His face, thorns crushed into His head, beaten and whipped to total disfigurement, and nailed to a cross, and run through with a spear, then went through hell proclaiming His victory over sin and death!

Scripture clearly teaches,(with redundancy), regardless of either knowledge or illiteracy of who God is, and of His word, the majority of the world will reject Christ.

And they will pay dearly and unimaginably for their pride, rebellion, and rejection of their creator, and rejection of Gods only son who was sacrificed for their pride/rebellion/rejection.

As well, Scripture teaches apostacy and ecumenism, hatred, mockery, and persecution would intensify horrifically against those Believers who do not compromise and stand firm in the faith, to a level largely unexperienced throughout history. Although Ibam sure there were “runners up”, as with Nero, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and already modern leftists with their humanism and gia worshiping, for profit eugenicism, and baby body parts industry.

Not to say the world won’t hate and attempt to annihilate itself simultaneously, as Scripture teaches it will, i.e. “wars and rumors of wars”, “If the Son of God had not [did not] intervene, man would have destroyed himself” [”or all flesh would perish”].

I strongly believe we are headed strait into the “trumpet” pivot out of “the times of the gentiles”, synonymous with the end to the “age of grace”, also referred to by some as the “church age”.

Judgement will begin in the house of God, and sheep are going to be separated from the goats, and the chaff from the wheat.

What a time God has determined us to live!
