She wants her kid to be a stripper?
Sigh...Folks, you gotta read the WHOLE story.
The officials offered to cover the girl's last month's tuition of $400 if Silvas would change jobs. They also offered to support Silvas both financially and spiritually, and to help her find a different job that was in keeping with the school's values. Silvas declined the offer.
They tried. She failed.
She may come back, who knows. But the school shouldn't compromise its principles just because she wants to have her cake and eat it too.
Yes, the church should be in the world, where life is particularly sinful. However, this is a school where very suspectible and impressionable children are sent for a Christian education. Churches should be ministering to the world, but not on the backs of their children. My daughter is a case in point. She goes to a Christian school and her best friend there is a worldly youth whose mother sounds like this one. She was taken in by her Godly aunt and uncle, but her lifstyle is wild. I pay a ton of tuition, which I can barely afford, and my daughter has access to "family values" that relates closer to the proverbial alley cat. I feel deeply for this girl and her family, but I don't like what my family has had to go through because of the school's accommodation. If it were just me, or the adults in me family, I would consider this a part of our ministry. But my receptive daughter is taking in a whole other way of looking at the world that is at variance to Christian standards. That's what ministry is about, not Christian education!
