Lesbian Parents Try to Force a Christian School to Educate Their Child | National Review Online

Need I say more?

Here’s a question for the secular left — when religious liberty collides with the desires of LGBT citizens, is there any case where religious freedom should prevail? How about when a lesbian couple tries to force a private Christian school to educate their child? A five-year-old San Diego, Calif. girl is at home, instead of starting off kindergarten with her friends, because her school, the Mt. Erie Christian Academy, refused to welcome her any longer because she has two moms . . . The child, who had attended Mt. Erie for pre-school and summer school was abruptly cut off when her parents were called in on the Friday before Labor Day, just before school started, where the pastor broke the news:
Open and shut case? Not so fast...

The local news, however, found an attorney who actually believes that refusing admission to a five-year old could be as psychologically damaging to her as human sacrifice or amputation. I sincerely hope he’s been misquoted:

Said attorney then having leaped aggresively at his desktop phone to hurriedly dial the lesbian parents so as to assure no one else beat him to the punch in representing them.

How is this the job of the "local news," to find lesbians with a complaint against Christians an attorney?

Good catch.

That's odd isn't it?

I would imagine that teaching their child their own will would be /their/ job, wouldnt it?

I know as a follower of Christ, their school wont be teaching them about Him, but I sure will. Now why does the lbgt absolutely need Christian schools to submit to their will, now?

I just don't get the big deal. I'm not going to get the least bit concerned with this. (Gay Lesbian Marriage). There is NO WAY God has anything to do with these marriages. The Government has stepped outside of their God given authority and decided to give them a civil marriage.. This has nothing to do with God. It is just a worldly thing. The schools still teach evolution-ism/svience instead of creation.

Take care of this garbage at home.

God is in control. All is well. Trust him.

Blarg, I realized that my post was written all wonkily, I meant "when I have children, I know their school wont be teaching them, but I will"

I have no plans on forcing the Gospel on other peoples kids :/

NEWS FLASH....Gay and Lesbian is in the schools anyway. I very much prefer to teach children about this at home. I also don't want unsaved teachers trying to teach about God.

So instead we deny a 5 year old a christian education and a chance of maybe not making the same mistakes her moms did? Totally logical.

Their are obviously different ways to look at this.

But the legal issue is simply whether or not a private school can choose who they want to take as a client. (And if you get right down to it, the child is not the client... the parent is.)

what comes to mind is why the lesbian parents would want a private Christian school to educate their child. wouldn't that be a conflict of interest at the very least? long story short, it is an attempt to infiltrate the school to find cause to bring a lawsuit against it for a variety of infractions of legal rights guaranteed to them by civil law. an initial probe.

Well, whether or not that is the cause behind THIS case, we can't yet be certain.

But we CAN be sure that the scenario you mentioned IS going to happen.
There's no question of that at all.

Here's a question.

Why did this child get accepted for Pre-School and Kindergarten if this was an issue? It's not like this wouldn't have come up before.

Could it be that the school decided now was a politically advantageous time to deny admission for the first grade? If they're going to do this, they need to be consistent. They should never have accepted the child in the first place. Money has most likely already changed hands previously in this arrangement. You can't act righteously indignant and take someone's money at the same time.

We simply don't know yet.

Until more information comes forward, we have no idea what occurred, or how it occurred.

We know that Christian organizations ARE going to get "baited" and drawn into lawsuits because of all the recent legal rulings. But we don't know yet what is going on in this particular case.

when the pro-gay marriage ruling was handed down, anyone who did not see this kind of stuff coming was just blind.

Good point. If you were lgbt, why would you want your child learning Christian values?

I agree, but with that said, I guess that's where Christians belong...in their house or Church and shut up?

It's a private school...no 'rights' involved. Let the Government create what they think a christian school is supposed to be and let the lesbian couple send their kid there.
