Christian School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents

I never heard anything like that at MY Christian high school. Ever.

I think they were talking to A crowd, not to the general crowd in the stadium. Not negating your point, but it does not seem that they were engaging the entire audience.

I'm not sure when I learned about oral sex, but it was either late HS or college. But times have changed (and I'm not that old). I have kids in eighth grade and I talk in depth with lots of other moms to keep up with what is going on. They will certainly hear about it in HS, and we should talk to them about it. It's not bad they know about oral sex; it is a part of hetero lovemaking. Doing it at that age, however, is another story and that is where we parents (and our morals) come in.

FYI, my kids are not in public school.

Oh. To me, it sounded as if they may have been "preaching tolerance" to a crowd at the game. That is why I asked if anyone had further information. Thanks.

I disagree with this decision. If anyone could use a good, solid Christian education, it's this poor girl.

I agree with you, but it's their school, so they get to make the decision I suppose.

Mom @ work was worried her daughter was heading down the wrong path. She placed her daughter in a "Christian School" in an attempt to get her back on the right track with what she felt was a better environment. The Mom's suspicions were on the money, and soon girl soon got caught with beer in her locker, which is against school rules. They kicked her out with no second chance. No appeal, no nothing. It just seems that a better approach would have been probation, a research paper regarding the effects of drinking on your body, attendance @ 10 AA meetings or something. Anything that would have allowed them to have a positive impact on this girls life. Just cutting someone lose like that strikes me as unforgiving. Actions should have consequences, but throwing people out that you could help just kind of bothers me. Maybe because I was a kid like that who by graces got hundreds of second chances. Just my $.02.

"I just hope we all realize that all sin is an anathema to God. Not just ual sins and not just other peoples. Our own, too."

I want to be kind, but your answer indicates that you probably don't understand that genuine Christians (of any order of specific practice) ARE FIRST people who came to an understanding that "all sin is an anathema to God." That all sin is an offense to God's holiness is a first principle in understanding the necessity of redemption and what was necessary in its provision of a sinless Sacrifice (Jesus Christ). A genuine Christian (the Bible being the final authority) is one who looked in the mirror and saw themselves condemned (John 3:18,19, etc.).

But a Christian who reads their Bible also comes to understand that there are sins, like sodomy (homosexual sins) that do invite a special high reproach from Heaven. And thus we find sodomy specifically at the end of the course that produces the mind of the reprobate (Romans 1:18-32). Sodomy is especially egregious in its affect upon others and upon whole nations.

The policy of the Ontario Christian school (commenting only as I see the excerpt in the above post) was all encompassing with regard to Christian witness, and separation from those things which, if allowed, would marginalize or negate the Christian character of the school.

Notice that ONE parent had to be in sync with the policy. This is obviously due to the fact that in some households you have one parent who wants the children educated under Christian influence, while the other may be, indeed, a reprobate.

I had read it that way at first, too, that's why I pointed it out.

What's oral sex?

"1) This school, and by extension, Christianity, stand for something

2) Homosexuality is not an acceptable behavior to everyone. This may be an extremely important lesson, because there is little doubt that her "parents" are teaching her that homosexuality is normal and that only fringe freaks object to it. Now she knows differently (assuming she hasn't been convinced that this school is comprised of fringe freaks)."

Two most excellent points!

Bad boy! Girl?

LOL!
