Agreed. I can see this both ways. It's not the child's sin that is keeping her from the school. And it would be nice for this child to have exposure to Christian relationships since she has to live in such a clearly sinful household. What you say about all sin being anathema to God is so very true. It's just that this one is so open, making it easy to point to. My daughter went to a Christian school and became best friends with a girl who came from an awful situation (her mother was in jail), but she lived with Christian relatives. Still, she reverted right back to her mother's lifestyle when she left and I believe that my daughter was definitely harmed by her encounter with this girl. I did not pay that tuition for her to make that kind of association. There's no easy solution to this.

"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.
