this is less and less true
with "faith based money" going to churches it indirectly supports the schools
by freeing up money from other church programs
vouchers are an out and out attack on public schools
and handout to religious intolerance
martha said:No. This is a private school. Schools that receive tax dollars are prohibited from this kind of discrimination. So far anyway. Who knows what our idiot president will propose next.
Angela Harlem said:We've got this coverall type of law here which states no one, institution or organisation can discriminate based upon gender, sexuality, age, race, religion, ethnicity, etc etc. doesn't matter who it is. No school or employer can expel or sack someone because of sexuality. Funding is a non issue. It's simply illegal. It makes everyone free to be who they are without fearing reprisal. It's aim is equality.

Angela Harlem said:You must be lying, anitram. See, I was talking to dandy and asking her how she kills her food, you know, in days of the Pioneer style? And she denied it to and said you guys have supermarkets and stuff. It's interesting that you're both telling falsehoods independantly!

Headache in a Suitcase said:well first off as a private school they have every right to do what they did, as stupid as it may have been.
second... i don't find it a very christian type thing to cast out a child based on the perceived sins of the parents.
(disclaimer before someone misreads what i said and starts slamming me... i do not think homsexuality is a sin, but this school obviously does, thus then... yea.)

Actually, you should be puzzled by the basis for the school's rule
Well like someone pointed out earlier they are both devout Lutherns and I guess they had too much faith that the school would work on Biblical teachings rather than bias and bigotry.nbcrusader said:
and why the parents chose to send the child to this school. My guess is that everyone here would not send their child to this school.
