Daughter of Lesbian Couple Expelled - Women Plan to Protest Outside Ontario Christian School

I think one of the issues here is the location of the other children . . . i.e. away from their parents and under the protection of the school.

Since my mom is a professional dancer, my kids have met LOTS of homosexuals, especially gay men. And when they have encountered these folks, hubby and I have explained to them that this is wrong, and we've discussed why, and also why we don't reject these folks out of hand but try to treat them with charity and respect despite our differences.

BUT . . . we are there to monitor the conversations and keep an eye on things generally. In the context of a school, the parents of other children are NOT there to do that.

So, (as appears from the article) the girls' friends knew her "parents" were lesbians, and the girl made some sort of public statement at a football game, then it's clear that the girl is on board with her "parents'" views and was sharing them with other kids at the school.

. . . as a parent I would be very concerned about what this girl was telling my children when I wasn't around. The school is "in loco parentis" and has a responsibility to keep a Christian environment because that's what they hold themselves out to be. If I sent my kid to a supposedly Christian school, I would not want her being proselytized by a pro-gay activist fourteen year old.

It's not the same as mature, adult Christians being in contact with homosexual acquaintances, while keeping a close eye on their kids' interactions with said acquaintances. And it's certainly not the same as Jesus moving amongst sinners . . . Jesus could take care of Himself, young and impressionable kids probably not.
