All I can say is this totally pisses me off. But then who would want their child in such a "loving and nurturing" atmosphere anyway???

ONTARIO, Calif. - 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.

"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.

Stob could not be reached for comment by the newspaper. Shay and her parents said they won't fight the ruling.

School administrators learned of the parents' relationship this week after Shay was reprimanded for talking to the crowd during a football game, Tina Clark said.

Clark and her partner have been together 22 years and have two other daughters, ages 9 and 19.

I think the policy of blaming a child for their parent's choices is a very odd one. And certianly in contradiction to the Gospel message: "to love your neighbor as yourself".

Perhaps it is better that Shay Clark was expelled. It may have been God's way of rescuing her from a warped and corrosive environment.

Well said.

We discussed this in the AH, too.
