Christian School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents

[Tom'sGirl]

Personally I've never understood why people try to get into place where they're not wanted. Women trying to force themselves into men's clubs. Girls trying to force their way into the Boyscouts, etc. I think if some organization, school, club, etc. is PRIVATELY owned, they should be able to determine whom they allow in. Having said that, I wouldn't want my child to be a part of any school that is so narrow minded. However, I support their right to be big fat idiots if they so choose.

Right on Jeana:clap:

I'm sure glad I didn't start this thread, I just knew it would spark debate.

The fact remains, it's a PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, NOT a PUBLIC SCHOOL and they set the rules, "take it or leave it"!

No one yet has ever answered if they ever read where the 9 year old daughter is going to school, and where the 19 year old went to school. I'm thinking they probably attend/attended Public Schools.....JMO

I agree, it is a a PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, NOT a PUBLIC SCHOOL and they set the rules, "take it or leave it"! But what personally outrages me about this is that they call themselves a "Christian" school. To me, to be a Christian is to be Christ-like. I can't imagine Jesus expelling this child because of her parents.

I haven't read where the other two children go or went to school. But I don't see why it would matter. My oldest son went to a public high school and my younger two went to a private high school. It was simply based on where we felt they would get the best education at the time.

There are MANY Christians who believe its a sin, so they think they are being "Christ-like" because they believe that its in the Bible. So much pain, anger, discrimination, war, murder, in the name of religeon.

What ticks me off here is that I see one, and only one reason for prohibiting the child from attending school based on the lifestyle of her parents. I mean, it's not preventing them from teaching anything they like to the students. And as others have listed, there are plenty of immoral and biblically prohibited behaviors they do not list. The only reason I can see to prohibit the girl is so they can be free to demonize people like her parents, without an example in their school of what the real people are like. It's so much easier to turn someone into a demon to all the students of the school when they don't ever have to look in their eyes, or the eyes of their children.

They can teach that that lifestyle is immoral and wrong with the girl still there - I'm sure they are teaching that the lifestyle of other parents there is wrong (unless they are ignoring every single part of the bible other than that about sex) - having the girl going to school there doesn't stop that. But what they can't easily do with her there is teach the other students to hate and see as evil people all gays, unmarried parents, etc. - it's much harder to teach hate and fear when you meet the people you are supposed to hate, and see that they are human too.

What you said makes perfect sense. I think you hit the nail on the head!

I am so sorry for what has been posted and the ways and means. I do know many gay people with children who have nothing more on their agenda than to see that their kids get a good education. Even military school if it helps.For the most part I have never seen people rally so much for children. Mostly, they put aside everything else and do this. I see this as love from the bottem of your heart and trying to achieve certainty for little ones.I do not have one gay friend who doesn't extend themselves in any and everyway possible. This is a population that is not recognized for the humanity that it extends. Then now we can look at child molesters and murderers and mom's in denial and such. I am not gay BTW I just know some good people who don't fit into the norm.

I would imagine that good Christian children are going to be harmed much less by seeing a child with two mothers than by seeing violence, people drinking too much, committing adultery, stealing and other hypocricies that go on every day in all walks of life.

It used to be that people came to the church to help solve problems such as these and receive forgiveness. As far as I'm concerned the "Christianity" of this school is extreme and hurts its own people and is one I would never want.

If it is a good child who wants to be a Christian and wants to attend the school and have friends like any other child, then she should be allowed to attend, regardless of what her parents do behind closed doors. I can think of much worse.

Can homosexuals not be Christians too? I never knew that.

Did the Terrorist not learn to hate the people of the USA in a private relligious school also. Yes, they did.............after all it is a "private religious school," but look what has happened in the world as a result........

They went on to kill many, many people because they don't agree with the "western" way of life..........and "believe" that their relligion is supreme over every other religion....according to their religious beliefs.......values and morals.......

It is discrimination and hate and ignorance all around "guised" as religion.

So lets just say: A "Christian" harms a person who is of a same sex. They feel "justified" because the bible says that same sex people are sinners and that sinners must "pay for their sins", as learned in a "private religious school", well now this affects all of the public.

They seemed to have missed the "private school lesson" that said "love thy neighbour".

The "public" will pay for the defense lawyer, the court costs, the jury, the room and board in prison, the appeal.

So now it is a public problem........taught in a "private" setting.......costing a lot of money ...so now everyone pays.

Especially the person who paid for "his sins" with by being harmed...........

Teaching hate in any circumstances public or private is just wrong.

How about a "private" school that teaches it is O.K. to abuse children, beat women,....according to their "private religious school" and the "bible".

Child abuse and violence against women is a "public problem" and affects all member of society as a whole.

Hitler spread his "private" views and beliefs against the Jewish population, in Europe and look what happened...........if only he did not spread his hate to the public at large.......

Matthew Sheppard would be alive today if his killers had not killed him because he was gay........

I wonder what else "private" schools teach their students according to Christian "morals, values and beliefs" and what Muslim "private" schools teach their students also.

After all these are all "private" schools, they can teach whatever they want.......and no one will be none the wiser, until the students "practices" what was "preached" to them according to the "private schools".

True enough CyberLaw, but its not against the law until its acted upon.

 

[CyberLaw]

Yes, but people have "odd" views when they feel they are doing God's work and adhering to God's teaching and pleasing "their parents" and feel they will have an express route to "heaven" by harming people who are not worthy......

Like the "pastor" who is a Christian who "advocates" beating of children, went on trial for child abuse, counsels his "flock" to beat children and then even after he is realized from prison, feels he was doing "God's will" by harming kids and has no intention of "changing" how he preaches or what he preaches after all he is only ahdering to "the bible" that says: Spare the rod, spoil the child.

It is society that is wrong, not him and how dare "society" tell him what to do, God's law as far as he is concerned "trumps" man's law........

He feels he has done nothing wrong and was pleasing God and "adhering" to his Christian values and morals. He was not breaking "the law that he adhere's to.......he broke no law that he knows of.........

So who knows if a "cop out" for a person who harms another is: But this is what I learned in school, learned from the bible, my parents taught me this, my friends and I are all of the same belief, and now "society" tells me it is wrong. it is not wrong, because the person was "unnatural" and the bible says I can do this.........after all it is God's law that I follow, not man's...........I did not break any law..........

Discrimination based on gender be it, man, women, same sex or not is wrong......

So people can break the law that governs's society, but they feel they have done no wrong because it says so in the bible.

Therefore in their opinion, no law has been broken

I couldn't agree with you more CyberLaw. It reminds me of those KKK idiots who dress their children up in the white robes. It makes me sick to my stomach, but unfortunately, they've got that right.
