This article quotes only the lawsuit itself and the students' attorney; obviously we're getting the whole story.

Based, however, on the little that we have, it's evident that these accusations would never have been made if the girls themselves weren't circulating photos of themselves in sexually suggestive poses. So much for the so-sensitive "privacy" issue which they themselves violated.

The fact that they are now suing the school because they claim that their expulsion instanced discrimination against "gays and lesbians" means that they now wish to identify themselves in public as gay/lesbian.

If the school had boy/girl couples acting in a similar fashion, circulating photos of themselves and identifying themselves as lovers; or, say, an unmarried man/woman teacher couple who behaved in such a fashion, can you really believe that a Lutheran religious school wouldn't respond as they did in this instance?

A religious school is a faith community. Why do people want to barge into faith communities if they reject its faith and morals, and are in fact willing to try to use lawsuits to force the faith community to abandon its beliefs and practices?

Let's say the girls have the right to act gay. Why can't this school act Lutheran?

These are children and I state again that the principal shouldn't have handled the situation alone. All photos are open to interpretation. The girls at our local christian school had pics from their slumber party that weren't very "pretty". no one was expelled. The girl were counseled about staying away from the "appearance of evil" and the local girls were counseled by female teacherS (plural).

I find it sad that the church in any form cannot find it in their heart to love the "sinner" but hate the sin. These are children who most likely were just being silly girls and are now swept up in all this craziness and are regretting that it ever got this big.
