I feel extremely sorry for the child involved because as the Bishop has said, the child will be caught in the middle and confused if this is allowed. It’s a tuff thing to have to deal with.
I am telling you, in my experience, and I’ve been dealing with Catholic Schools for years, they don’t generally reject a child because of a parents lifestyle choices, in fact, often they take the perspective that at least HERE in this school they will get the Godly world view they need. Catholic Schools I have dealt with do not look for reasons to reject children re-admittance.
If a school asks a child not to return it is generally because the child is after much attempts to work with, too unruly or problematic. Or the parents/family cause too much trouble or are looking to use the school as a soap box.
This has been my experience, others may vary.
Given the age of this girl, I doubt she’s caused any trouble. Her “parents” however likely have been nothing but trouble and looking for excuses to stand up on their soapbox and cause issues. Hell the fact this story is even in the media at all tells me that this is likely the case. I guarantee the administrators of the school didn’t contact the media over an admission decision. This poor child likely has activist parents that are simply looking for limelight or lawsuit.
That’s my take on this one.
