1. The good news is, now she has a chance to go to a school where they will teach actual science.

The parents who are sending their kids to be taught by young Earth Creationists aren't doing them any favors in terms of college and the highly math-and-science focused job market of the 21st century.

6. Great point! Blessing in disguise......

15. Don't get me wrong, it sucks... but it doesn't take a great leap of extrapolation from the idiotic

- not to mention downright mean, of course- policy, to assume that their curriculum is highly, erm, 'faith-based'.

[Thinkingabout]

2. Perhaps this is the opportunity for her parents to realize this is not a Christian school

But one filled with hate as Westboro Baptist. How they can claim to be Christian and not follow the teachings of Jesus is beyond this Christians comprehension. This does nit send a good message.

3. Sunnie will now have a chance

to get a decent education. She has very loving grandparents. She's a lucky girl.

4. It's just horrible what some school admins say or do to children.

If this can't be undone, then I hope she makes good new friends at another school.

7. lol, I hope it's not undone

I graduated from high school like that in Texas. Those buffoons shouldn't be allowed to be in charge of anything more important than cookies and juice. That kid is WAY better off almost anywhere else.

8. I was thinking about that too when I wrote that.

I suppose by undone I meant that in the biggest way possible where the school realizes it error (its bigotry) and makes amends.

I think I read that the girl really misses her friends and wishes she could go back.

But I suspect you are correct that she's better off elsewhere.

[OriginalGeek]

12. Oh I would love for that to happen

(Them realizing what assholes they are) but generally, assholes don't.

The grandmother isn't planning to sue or anything (as far as I can tell) so I doubt the school will experience anything more than the self-righteous congratulations from their insular circle for standing up for their "christian" principles.


Ironically, I also sometimes don't realize when I'm being and asshole so I apologize if my initial reply seemed like I was attacking you as that was not my intent. I graduated high school 33 years ago and still get worked up and feel bitter about my (lack of) education. And it truly makes me despair that that the intervening and current generations of kids were/are being subjected to same.

5. Why are they turning her away instead of praying the gay away? n/t

[derby378]

11. I don't think Fred Phelps ever tried the "pray the gay away" approach

He was too busy carrying those noxious signs and beating his estranged gay son with them.

9. She is better off...

10. I so wonder about some "Christian" schools

I am glad we found a good school (parochial) that has an openly transgender student who is as fully accepted as every other student. Among the values they teach is "Judge not let ye be judged"

13. and we wonder why Republicans keep winning....

[yellowcanine]

14. "...our biblical role is to work in conjunction with the home to mold students to be ‘Christlike,"

It is right there in First Bigot Chapter 1, Verse 5. 'And Jesus said, "thou shalt not allow little girls to be tomboys."'

So suck it up, gay agenda pushing people!

16. what is lesbianism?

[Aerows]

17. Um, well

Are you female and fairly attractive?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. yes, to both and married to my wife. lesbianism makes being gay sounds like

a weird disease state

19. Another angle is that approximately 0.5-1% of students will,

when they are adults, end up being asexual. One wouldn't think that would be objectionable to Christians who hate LGBT. But, for those kids who are in that small minority, if they're encouraged to act and dress like they're sexuals, it could set up problems for them later on in their adult relationships.

21. wow nt
