One of my best guy friends in high school was gay, and he was a much better Catholic than I was so I don't think that holiness or who is a better Christian is an issue. Frankly, I think that it's horrible that they're singling out these two girls for Scarlett Letters when there's probably more than enough immoral behavior of the heterosexual sex/ underage drinking variety going on in that school.

" there's probably more than enough immoral behavior of the heterosexual sex/ underage drinking variety going on in that school."

True enough (unfortunately). The difference in this case is that of a persistent public violation of Scriptural principles. If a student would be underage drinking and continue to so insisting that it is her right, then that student would be expelled as well. The same goes with premarital sex.The same goes with persistent classroom disruptions, theft. etc.

I will also add to my previous post. If the description of the expulsion is accurate, then the principals actions were a clear violation of Biblical guidelines for confronting sin. These guidelines are very clear. First, the person must be counseled in private. If there is no resolution then the person should be counseled along with another person. If there is still no resolution the matter is made public and ultimately could involve expulsion. This could take weeks or months. Each school has its own procedures for following these guidelines, nevertheless, they must be followed. This is why I do not believe the the account of the lawyer is accurate. If the description of events is accurate then the principal is accountable for his actions to a higher authority. In this case the Board of Directors.
