SAN DIEGO -- A five-year old girl is at the center of a fight that pits freedom of religion against nondiscrimination rights.
It's a fight that some say could wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court in the near future.
"I love my two moms."
Those were the words of a little girl, who sat in front of a coffee table drawing pictures of her family instead of sitting in a kindergarten classroom at Mt. Erie Christian Academy with her peers.

Team 10 reached out to the ACLU, the LGBT Center and San Diego Pride. None of the groups were willing to speak on the topic. An administrator at Pride said, "It is what it is."
San Diego attorney Eugene Iredale said the First Amendment gives Mt. Erie freedom of religion, allowing it to bar a student whose parents' lifestyle doesn't meet their religious beliefs.
"Religions and religious institutions, that do not in their activity receive public money, have the right to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation if that is part of their religious tradition," Iredale said.

Or homosexual assault on altar boys.
Oh... wait...
Well still the kid is who is caught in the middle. OTOH what are lesbian parents doing send a kid to a Christian school?
Pays big these days. You can get a fortune for your distress at not getting your wedding cake baked by a Christian.
Mostly likely, setting up this entire situation for just this purpose.
Do you suppose these leftist Stupids realize that this so-called tolerance is a cycle, and these deliberate legal orchestrations, blatant, malignant attacks on Christianity, are not scoring any points? Went the pendulum swings back, people will get hurt.
To destroy it.
Exactly. What a farce.
Then if they win they will demand that the school stop teaching that homosexuality is wrong. I suspect that’s the real end game here.
No, the two moms want a big fat monetary pay out! Money is the real reason behind every one of these lawsuits.
I would not think they would want their unfortunate little girl to sit under teachings that would instruct her that homosexuality is a sin. Or that might make her wonder who her daddy is.
I would let the poor little kid stay in school, as it’s probably the only chance she has while young.
In exchange, the lesbians would have to sign a waiver stating that they completely understand that the Bible and Christianity would be taught and they would have to remain supportive of the school.
If you want your children in Christian school, you have to expect that they’re going to teach Christianity. Otherwise, go elsewhere.
If the school takes someone like this, they'll forever be fighting battles over every little thing in the curriculum and other activities the school does.
This is wrong.
We have an opportunity to go ahead and teach this girl that what her parents are wrong.
When anyone enrolls a child in a Christian school, they should assume the child will receive religious instruction. I don’t think the school needs to give them special treatment on this matter. They should just go ahead and give the girl a proper education, including religious instruction, and age appropriate facts about the birds and the bees. Eventually the lesbians will figure out the girl is getting an education they don’t approve of, and they’ll probably withdraw her, and act shocked, and maybe even sue. But such a lawsuit is bound to fail. And in the meantime, the little girl will have been given a foundation of truth.
Maybe it’s me but why would the parents want to put their child back into a school where she isn’t welcome in the first place?
But not before all the OTHER 5yr olds get an earful about ‘two mommies are OK’ from the kid herself.
Money is it.
The gay marriage is about pensions and SS. Nothing to do with family.
so odd. no one ever seems to click the links.
What I DO care about is no longer allowing very liberal judges who think this or that determining what private Christian schools here in KS MUST do or be "unconstitutional!!!"
