The Dumbest Thing I've Seen All Day
Some poor kid in Ontario, California has been kicked out of Ontario Christian School because she has two mommies.
They don't plan on fighting the ruling.
(I wonder if it was acceptable twenty years ago to expel a student for having a multi-racial family.)
Here is the article from The Washington Blade:
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.

This is such a disgusting turn of events for California. Makes me proud to have graduated from a public high school...
..really not surprising. Contemporary Christianity is just like the GOP, unable to see the truth and hellbent upon insisting that they are right regardless of the consequences or evidence to the contrary... "the sky is red goddamit!"
Holy Crap. I thought that Dover PA was bad.
Dover PA is bad
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you....

Happy Birthday to Yooooooooooooooou!

Gosh, how very "Christian" of them. I'm sure the kid will be much better off in a different school, anyway. I know I wouldn't want my children educated by a group of people with such narrow views.
Wade, post your idiotic comments elsewhere.
Would it be wrong to kick her out if she had a black mom and a white dad?
Discrimination is very un-Christian. Get it?
