I dont feel I have twisted anything. I will point out something in the Prodigal son that most Christian miss....

And while he was still a long way off the Father saw him and ran toward him.....

Now tell me does God wait till we have crawled back on bloody knuckles to ask for forgiveness? No HE runs toward us.

Now in that story Who do you think Christ wants us to act like the Father? or the Older Brother?

In this Christian School story Who is the administration acting like...??? The Father or the Older brother?

Yup. The kid had given up his lifestyle to come to the Father and he was welcomed. Where in this article did these women do that?

Did the Father run to the Prodigal son while he was still in the pit, or was he on the road to see the Father and see if there was a place in the servants quarters. He didn't assume anything. Yes the Father ran to him (one of my favorite Benny Hester songs by the way) but the Father didn't run to him in the pit in this instance.

We have to leave the pit - anything else would cheapen every stripe that Christ bore to forgive us.

The school is not a political organization, nor does it appear to be an evangelical ministry it's as was previously posted an educational organization. They get to make the rules.

I'm at this point done, we can agree to disagree on the finer points, but I can't agree distort the Word of God.
