Just to show that what’s legally permissible is not necessarily a good thing<\/a> …<\/p>\n

A 14-year-old student was expelled from a Christian school because her parents are lesbians, the school’s superintendent said in a letter. Shay Clark was expelled from Ontario Christian School on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“Your family does not meet the policies of admission,” Superintendent Leonard Stob wrote to Tina Clark, the girl’s biological mother. Stob wrote that school policy requires that at least one parent may not engage in practices “immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style, such as cohabitating without marriage or in a homosexual relationship,” The Los Angeles Times reported in Friday’s edition.<\/p>\n

I think the school in question has every right to be as persnickety and restrictive in its admission policies as it wants. And I think that parents who find this sort of action on the school’s part abhorrent have every right to withdraw their kids from the school, too.<\/p>\n

And the only other bit I have to say is that it’s a good thing that Christ didn’t decide the only folks worthy of association with were those who “did not engage in practices immoral or inconsistent with a positive Godly life style.” In fact, I sort of recall he hung out with just the opposite … but, then, that was then and this is now and I’m sure <\/em>he’d agree with Ontario Christian School having to maintain, well, standards <\/em>about whom they invite to their educational table. Otherwise, who knows <\/em>what sort of riff-raff, thieves, tax collectors and prostitutes they might have to rub elbows with? Gads!<\/p>\n
