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.

1. "at least one parent may not engage in practices "immoral or inconsistent

with a positive Christian life style"

Are they gonna toss out all the adultering parent's kids too?

:grr:

Might be a pretty empty place...

3. To those cafeteria "christians"...

Philandering isn't as bad of a sin... and might be considered a virtue.

2. That does it!

I'm Home Churchn' my kids!

Too much religiosity in the schools!

4. I wonder if they realize...

that with this ruling they are acknowledging that the two women ARE the girl's parents?

[Hugin]

5. Nice way to look at it...

Now, if they'd *admit* it!

Thanks VelmaD.

6. Even though this is bullshit...

It is a private school and they can do what they want. The best recourse would be for parents to start taking their kids out of that school so they don't get the funds to continue.

11. That would be nice.

But it seems at least likely that if this particular school has these admission "policies", it's probably a "Christian" school of a particular stripe. A majority of the parents may well share the same attitudes on this issue.

7. What complete and utter bullshit. That

is the most un-Christian thing they could have done. Judgmental bastards! :mad:

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I like how only one parent must be moral

I bet they put that caveat in so that the daddies could continue to shag their prostitutes and each other at Promise Keeper meetings and Republican fundraisers, and make the woman - those temptress whores who brought sin to humanity - live a moral life.

The double-standard is bigger than Rita.

9. Wow, they recognize the girl's parents as a FAMILY?

Wow.

10. Talk about FAMILY VALUES (nt)

12. Recommend this! I have. And - this is "News of the Strange?" How about

News of the Deranged?

They've been married for twenty-two years . . .

:cry: Sometimes I really, truly, deeply detest this befucked, godforsaken society we live in.

Yes, Ontario Christian School, I said GODFORSAKEN! The God you believe in would not support this decision!
