That is this Church's opinion in this case. They are free to hold the opinion. They want to work with families that will reinforce their message, not contradict it.
Do you doubt that there are cases where children have developed a higher morality than their parents, due to the influence of christian education?
Not at all.
Could you not see the daughter even being a spiritual help to her mother at some point?
Sure. The point here is that this mother agreed, as a condition of her daughter attending school, that she would work with the school, including some type of morals clause. She broke her contract and the school is within its rights to dismiss her child.
I don't know the entire situation, but it is possible or likely that the school is subsidized by the Church. In this case, it makes even less sense for the church and school to spend their resources for a student who has little chance of having its lessons reinforced at home.
No school has unlimted resources. Perhaps there is a child who would be better served by the school and her mother, than the stripper mom's kid.

She not only broke the original contract... but then after the school agreed to let her child finish the term, she broke the spirit and intent of the new agreement by running to playboy before the term was finished.
1 Corinthians 5 is very clear how the church should handle this. It isn't even in doubt.

I understand and agree that the Church/school is within its legal, and perhaps, ethical rights to expel this child.
My question ... is it the moral thing to do? Is it what JESUS would have done? Didn't He teach that we should go after even the one lost sheep, ... even as we watch over the ninety and nine which are safely in the flock?
