Team 10: Girl barred from San Diego school due to lesbian parents

SAN DIEGO -- A five-year old girl is at the center of a fight that pits freedom of religion against nondiscrimination rights.

It's a fight that some say could wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court in the near future.

"I love my two moms."

Those were the words of a little girl, who sat in front of a coffee table drawing pictures of her family instead of sitting in a kindergarten classroom at Mt. Erie Christian Academy with her peers.

Team 10 reached out to the ACLU, the LGBT Center and San Diego Pride. None of the groups were willing to speak on the topic. An administrator at Pride said, "It is what it is."

San Diego attorney Eugene Iredale said the First Amendment gives Mt. Erie freedom of religion, allowing it to bar a student whose parents' lifestyle doesn't meet their religious beliefs.

"Religions and religious institutions, that do not in their activity receive public money, have the right to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation if that is part of their religious tradition," Iredale said.

You disagree with the school decision?

The mother and her lesbian sidekick are dangerous, evil thugs, but the daughter is only five. I at least wish it was possible to save the daughter without putting the entire school at risk. On further reflection though, I agree with those who say that taking the child of thugs into their school would present a serious risk of harm to other innocent children, through lawsuits from the lesbians, and that danger may take precedence over any desire to expose the little girl to God and to positive values.

Why did they let accept that kid in the first place? Maybe, they thought they’d give it a try, but the lesbian couple did something unacceptable, besides being lesbians.

And sign a waiver saying they’ll never attend the school as a couple?

Their positioning is shutting the kid out. I don’t know the word for analyzing the positioning.
