My friends, this should not be. I do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle. But I also do not agree with shunning and ostracizing those who follow that lifestyle, and especially their innocent children! These school administrators should be praising the Lord that these women wanted their daughters to have a Christian education! Jesus said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor -- sick people do. I have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough." Mark 2:17
He also said "If anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck." Matthew 18:6
I've got a good mind to mail Mr. Stob a millstone.
Mrs. Muddy:
All I can say is that this "Christian" school's administration is full of a bunch of jerks! And THAT'S putting it very nicely. I read a similar story about a year ago where a girl was expelled because her mother was a stripper!
Who cares!!! What place does *any* school have to say that someone's family does not meet their judgmental requirements! Jesus accepts all and loves all so who are they to make exceptions.
Look...it's no secret to anyone who frequents "muddysmind" that we don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle....No matter what that schools position is on homosexuality (or any other lifestyle choice), it's just wrong, vicious, and bullying to make an innocent child pay for it. Shame on you 'Ontario "Christian" School' and others like you. You make me vomit!!!! -Ed
And this from someone who follows the Kevin and Bean show:
Tina Clark, the mom of the girl who was kicked out of Ontario Christian School because parents are gay, called in. She talked about how they've always been open about their status (one daughter even previously attended the school), made sure they weren't violating any policies before enrolling their children there, and the kid is an exemplary student (cheerleader, GATE program).
Even Kevin, the conservative-Christian member of the show, was shocked by the school's act. A board member apparently told her that there is a clause in the Board of Trustees' book, which parents aren't allowed to see. Listeners called in with their thoughts, including one who pointed out that the clause that families must abide by the "morals consistent with Christian beliefs" applies, but the gang pointed out that by that standard, divorced parents would not be allowed. "It's because gays are 'icky'!"
The Sandmonkey (as cited in Dreams Into Lightning) weighs in from Egypt:
What the girl had to do with her "parents" sinful lifestyle is beyond me. What was she supposed to do, force them to seperate? Preach every day to them? She is 14.
Not to mention, Mr. Christian teacher, do you realize what opprutunity you lost yourself here? Here is someone who, according to you, lives in a sinful household. Do you reach out and try to "save her"? Nope, You kicked her out and sent her back in it. I am sure that's what Jesus would've done, no?
The Ranting Right Wing Howler has a different view:
The Ontario Christian School recently kicked a kid out because her parents were lesbians.
Works for me.
But this post from Joseph sent me over the top:
I recently talked to a friend of mine that told me that a girl was kicked out of a religious school because her parents were lesbians. This happened at Ontario Christian Academy in Los Angeles, CA....
I hope that as Shay goes to a public school in Los Angeles that the teachers and administrators will not discriminate against her....
Joseph, I hope that you're enjoying your life in Dallas, Texas. (Heh.)
P.S. My views on this were expressed here.
