Teens sue Riverside evangelical school over lesbian suspicions

Technically, since it's a private institution, they can do whatever they want.

I don't see this as any different than some of my friend being expelled from Abilene Christian for excessive drinking.

ah the 909- the longest 4 years of my life were spent in the 909... Good for them, I hope they win their suit, stuff like this:

"In a Sept. 12 letter to the parents, Bork acknowledged officials had seen no physical contact between the girls but said their friendship was "uncharacteristic of normal girl relationships and more characteristic of a lesbian one."
Bork said a parent of another child told him that the girls showed other students photos of them "posed in suggestive positions."

is just scary- we didn't see you do anything, but based on the word of a third party and the fact that your friendship's not 'normal' we're kicking you out.

Not all churches condemn homosexuality.

Yeah, and there was a time when many churches used to the Bible to support segregation. Sometimes people DO have to fight against the church.

But I agree that if this were a private institution only, they would have the right to kick people out for being gay. It's disgusting, but it's how things are.

"And yes, I can. The church condemns both."

So can we take it then that you have gone straight and are following your church's santioned way of lifestyle?

At my school last year (a private Catholic school) my priest and principal told me I couldn't tell anyone I was gay.

So then when I got out of the school, I told everyone, and left the church.

My mom says she wishes she had the strength to flipp both of them off when we talked to them.

Good for you!!! Not as bad as your experience, but for a time as a kid I attended a (small, private, Roman Catholic) elementary school where 'we do not talk about' the fact that my parents were divorced (I had to refer to my mom's boyfriend as my mom's 'friend,' etc.). And- I was attending the school on scholarship, as I'd scored so high on their admissions test that, if not for the fact that I took it in front of one of the nuns, they would have said I'd cheated and made me take it over (seriously, that's what my mom was told). Loved my test scores, hated my parentage.
This was back in the 80s, so I hope they've changed since then, (esp with the divorce rate these days), but when people wonder why I hate the sanctimoniousness that is organized religion so much I tell 'em about my time there.

BillyBones, the point about going back to the school will probably be moot by the time this gets through the appeals process. That said, you can't sue over things like this and make Constitutional appeals unless you have an actual concrete grievance. So saying they want to go back to the school gives them grounds for the lawsuit.

exactly lildogs......the VERY scary part is that they have NO proof the girls are lesbians, but are only suspected of being lesbians.......funny, how many people were rounded up in Nazi Germany "suspected" of being Jews, academics, etc.

This is a VERY tiny school in Wildomar, CA......I mean heck, they don't even have a library (which means this faggot doesn't have to deal with them professionally).....here is their website

click on "staff".....and tell me their principal doesn't look Tres Gay......and these are the classes he teaches...

CLHS FACULTY MEMBERS
Pastor Gregory Bork

Principal
Word of God - 12
Latin I, II, III
AP Psychology
Handbell Choir
Concert Bells

The damn bigot doesn't even list his email........but here is the school general email.....EMAIL THEM and tell them what you think.....

clhs.office@clhs-chawks.org

Also, the state and/or federal funding they receive, IF ANY will be minor...and would be administrated through Riverside USD, or Alvord USD......but even the larger catholic high schools in LA get maybe $1000-$2000 from Title 5......so trust me, that threat won't work with them.

Imagine - being against gays and then having the balls to actually teach Bell Choir.

elfie, that may be true, but it is the grounds for the lawsuit the prosecutor has filed.

Very early...hee
