Yes, it´s mainly important to have law to not let school to have kind of abuses on the children.
Oh, they aren’t allowed to ABUSE the children, but then again, we don’t see this as being abusive. Furthermore, I am glad that one person’s “rights” don’t trump another’s. In other words, the rights of the lesbian couple do not out-weigh the rights of the private school or the other parents and children in that school.
They have human rights in America.
Of course there are human rights, just no appointed “court of”.
I don't know what the rules had stated for the Christian private school but the rules should not involved the parents lifestyle, cause the parents are not enrolling for private school just the child why worry about the parents whether they're divorce or gay, I mean it's none of the school business to know what the child's parents lifestyle are
That’s the beauty of freedom, it applies to all, not just the minorities. It personally appalled me when I went to San Francisco and saw the gay parade going down the street with extremely provocative floats. I did not feel it was appropriate to be exposing children to such lewdness. Yet, they have their rights, so I took my children ELSEWHERE. This lesbian couple has the right to do just what I did and take their children ELSEWHERE.
I don't understand why most of you said it is because of the rules, where did it say that if the parents is gay , then you child can not enroll in that school.. We don't even know what the rules were, but the point is, it should not effect the child from enrolling the private school just cause of their parents lifestyle may be...
I believe Reba already addressed this issue
Thank you for your inquiry regarding a student that had been enrolled at Ontario Christian School. The student is not attending Ontario Christian, as the family does not meet admissions criteria. The ministry of Ontario Christian is to promote discipleship of Jesus Christ as defined by the Bible and consistent with historical Christianity. The school forms a voluntary partnership with parents who seek the same discipleship. Therefore, the school requires that at least one parent be a confessing Christian and active in the local Christian church. In this case, the parent does not meet the criteria by participating in a homosexual relationship. We regret that this relationship was not disclosed at the time of admission, as that information would have
prevented enrollment and the occasion for misunderstanding.
The mission of Ontario Christian School is to provide for the children of Christian parents a Biblically-based, quality education that nurtures students to grow in knowledge, conviction and maturity; therefore, our focus is to equip students with the vision and skills to engage all relationships and culture under the authority of Jesus Christ.

The child should be able to get education anywhere...
She can….anywhere ELSE.
Eve, my friends, many of them are divorced and remarried send their kids to private Christian schools here.
I am sure that is true, and I am also sure that it was discussed in full with the school’s knowledge prior to enrollment, and that if it wasn’t those children would be expelled for the parent’s lies as well. However, divorce and remarriage are not necessarily unbiblical in nature. My divorce was condoned by the church because I had biblical grounds for a divorce (my husband cheated on me and was caught in the act). I had to go through years of abuse before he gave me biblical cause for a divorce. It was a relief when he finally did.
Well, Is it harm to ask them why they want to know my private life and want the ground of their explanation? I would thank them for their ground of explanation then will tell them that their school is not right place for my children and thank them again for an interview in polite way and leave without criticism their rules but give them think twice.....
That would be the wise way to handle the situation. I personally wouldn’t even consider putting my child in a school that did not keep a philosophy similar to my own.
If they have to agree to this rule then stick with it in respectful way.
I believe they did. The parent was the one who decided to lie to the school and then cause such an uproar about the school enforcing the rule.
I answered your previous post that it's your opinion because you said.
But it isn’t an opinion, it is a fact. Maybe where you are from it isn’t the same, but here in America, our rights are considered fact, not opinion.
This is simple way for Reba to look other thread if she don't like my thread.
This MINE MINE MINE attitude belongs in a nursery school, not a bulletin board forum. As far as I know, we are all free to discuss here, not just the one who started the topic.
