Stupid little girls for announcing they were lesbians in a Christian school. Maybe they'll get a better education elsewhere.

Is that what they did? The article says "an alleged lesbian relationship." Does that mean Christian schools can expell you if they say you're having a gay relationship, but you really aren't?

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

So why did the Catholic church cover up all the homo priests?
And it didn't fire them either.
And why are they STILL doing it?

The hypocrisy is absurd.

So pre-martial sex is an unforgiveable sin? At least after the first time?

it's not that it's unforgiveable. but a confessee will only gain absolution for that which they truly repent and for which they make a true act of contrition. until that person does those things, the stain of their sin mars their souls, makes jesus sad and exponentially increases the liklihood that they will be struck by lightning.

Private schools can pretty much expel a student for any reason. If you don't adhere to the dress code or the behaviour code. Of course in public school kids can get away with anything.

I put my oldest son in a private school after a bunch of kids spit on him in seventh grade. My youngest went to private school from second grade to his senior year in high school.

They are safer in private school.

My kids are in private school - they never kick anyone out. They don't want to lose the money...

The little darlings had told other students they were lesbians, one of them wrote on her facebook page that she was bisexual and the other's page said that she was unsure of her sexual orientation.

I must just be getting jaded or something. It is 2009, folks. Shouldn't it be common knowledge by now that RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT GAY-FRIENDLY and that you really shouldn't be surprised if those Religious folks shun you for being gay or gay-appearing?

They can kick them out because they LOOK gay? That's pretty ridiculous.

So, I conform to Gay, Catholic and European, but I don't look gay, so I should be fine.

I agree that Jerby has a point. However, that's the argument put forward by the boy scouts over kicking out gays, saying that if they weren't allowed to control their membership, gay rights organizations wouldn't be able to stop zealous anti-gay people from joining to mess things up. My problem with that is that anti-gay wackjobs are purely joining to disrupt the organization, whereas gay kids don't decide to join the boy scouts to cause disruption. There's a difference.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Derek Mahon

There are bound to be gray areas, but I think a line can be drawn with private and public--and any group that uses public/government funds (tax dollars) should be held to discrimination laws. Private groups should not.

I agree, jerby. Although there are bound to be situations that are unfair, ugly or where people feel excluded, it's more important to keep separation of church and state intact.
