I disagree with this decision. If anyone could use a good, solid Christian education, it's this poor girl. It's not her fault that her immoral "parents" are using her for thir own selfish purposes.
The rules of one Christian school I am very familiar with allows a student to go there in the elementary grades if one parent is a Christian. Entering Junior High, the child has to make their own profession of faith.
The decision the school in this article made upholds the rules for that school.
If that child continues at that school the school would be put into the position of allowing the "parents" to come to school functions, etc. and seem to condone their lifestyle. There is really no other recourse for that school. They have to consider the other students and parents.

I agree wholeheartedly. I hate that many on FR rejoice this decision as it validates their hatred. Jesus hung out with many 'undesirables', but they needed it the most. Why do modern Christians become what they claim to hate? And they become everything Jesus wasn't.

EGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSACTLY!

True BUT her parents should then either home school her or send her to a school that would accept their arrangement instead of being a fringe minority trying to IMPOSE their ideaology onto a majority, the school in this case.
What if the parents were Wiccans, or Mafiaso, drug pushers, chop shop operators, pimps, or congressmen?
How much evil should the school endure?

Being a Christian means acting Christ like. Christ hung out with some of the most evil people of his times because they were the ones who needed his teachings.
WWJD in this situation?... He defended the prostitute, ate with the tax collectors...
Those who want this girl throw out of the only Christian environment she'll ever know are truly blind to Christs teachings.
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.
