Are her mothers teaching in school? Besides you are naive if you think you are keeping ANY KID away from sin by sending them to a Christian School. I went to one of the MOST consevative Christian universities in the country. You couldnt even wear shorts on campus. Swimming with the opposite sex was considered MIXED BATHING. Okay... when I was in college there were drugs of all kinds, I would say 1/2 of all the kids drank to the point of being drunk. The worst ones were either EK's ( elders kids or PK's Preachers kids. Now do you know how many parents had the same attitude as you have now...??? " I am sending them there to keep her or him away from it?

The best thing you can do is pray for your child and have an authentic life. BTW when you are around Christians all the time your faith is not challenged. The weakest point in my faith was when I went to a "Christian" University.

wondering if I knew you at Liberty in the late 80's (although I don't recall a swimming ban). Sometimes I'm surprised any of us stay in churches or maintain a Christian walk after Christian Schools/Universities. But I disagree that being around Christians all the time makes your faith not challenged. I would say you're not hanging around the right Christians. :)

We're talking grade school and high school.College is a totally different experience. The school my daughter attended had only 8 to 15 kids per class. Actually all the schools in this area have small classes. These kids aren't naive either.

So you'd allow this girl to attend the school. Would you ban the parents? Allowing them at school functions would imply approval. To avoid that assumption, would you warn others and say you don't approve? What you don't get is these women have a "win-win" situation. Get kicked out and cause a stink or get your foot in the door and claim approval.

From the article: The family's situation is not unusual, said Johnny Chagolla of the Rainbow Pride Youth Alliance, a gay-rights organization in San Bernardino. Often, he said, students at religious schools are more likely to face discrimination.

It's not descrimination it's separation. And you think you could change the girl? She said: As for the school's leadership, "They should be embarrassed," Shay said.

I disagree with your postmodernist view.
