And this is why Christians drive people from God-

School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents
Sep 23 7:05 AM US/Eastern

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.

Jeez... why don't they kick out all the children of unmarried parents while they're at it? Apparently the sins of the father (or mother, in this case)....

This BS is what drove me away from the Christian Church. Not from God, mind you. I can have a really great spiritual relationship with God without these kind of Bozos telling me what to do.

BTW, I went to the Christian High School for a year. I was basicially kicked out because I listened to Punk Rock in my car on my way to school.

I'm sorry, I find this attitude terribly sad. Everyone is made in God's image, regardless of orientation. To expel a child for something so blatantly-biggoted makes my blood boil. Heck, I know more gay couples who have better "marriages" than many hetero couples I have known.

Please do not think I am generalizing, but I have never in my life seen a collective group more judgemental. The woman sitting next to my little cubicle of paradise here is a prime example of this kind of attitude.

Forgive me, but this really hit a nerve.

I don't think you can be Christian and Christian.

What a bad name they have always given themselves! When are Jesus-inspired, good-hearted, loving Christians going to realize that they need to branch off and change the name of their bedrock faith to something that hasn't been so sullied through the ages with the most un-Christian of acts?

What a great opportunity for other churches/religions out there to denounce what was done to that girl. What a great moment for another private religious school to take her in w/o caring about her moms.

BUT I have a feeling we won't be hearing that...

I don't know if the kids' parents would dig all those midnight field trips.

Are all sins equal or aren't they? Are other families examined to make sure that they are not providing a sinful environment? Are children in abusive families expelled? Are children whose parents are lazy expelled? What about children whose parents give new meaning to the term "conspicuous consumption"? Do they quiz parents to make sure they don't use artificial means of birth control? If the school feels the remaining students come from superior homes, perhaps the school could use a reminder that pride is also a sin.
