Would Jesus expel the child from kindergarten?

Did you read the story? Here is an excerpt:

"The school offered to waive the last month's tuition for the student so the young girl could remain in school to the end of the year if the mother would quit her job as a strip-tease dancer. They also offered to support the mother and walk 'hand in hand' with her as she worked through the spiritual issues involved and sought to better her life," said Hagelin.

These people did as much as they could to help this family out. Seems like the mom wanted nothing to do with their help.

What? She couldn’t stop stripping for a month so her daughter could finish out the school year? Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I thought that was a plus on our side of the aisle.

The only thing this school didn’t offer was to compromise their principles, good for them.
