They don't let a girl in with gay parents. That is pretty extreme to me.
Well every religion has their beliefs and customs. Guess you should read up on them. They are entitled to their beliefs, customs and how they want to educate their kids in their private schools they pay for themselves.
Let the little girl go to public school where she will be accepted with no questions asked.
"Mark 10:2-12:There are no valid grounds for divorce: Jesus here implies that all marriages are permanent; divorce is not allowed for any reason. He also implies that either the husband or the wife can initiate a divorce. This does not agree with the historical record; in 1st century CE Palestine, only a husband could end a marriage. Liberal theologians speculate that the gospel was written by a member of a Gentile Christian church outside of Palestine in the Greco-Roman world where a woman did have the right to divorce her husband. So, the author wrote from his own experience in Pagan territory and had Jesus reflect Pagan customs. When Matthew later extracted this story from Mark, he modified the text to bring it into accordance with Jewish practice.
"And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him...And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." Luke 16:18: Remarriage is not permitted: Jesus here condemns remarriage of both husband and wife. Both the wife's former and new husband are committing adultery. This passage might be interpreted as allowing divorce as long as neither couple remarries; i.e. it would allow marital separation.
"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."

That won't happen if she is in the south or small towns in the north.
That is something the parents should have taken into consideration.
Maybe California would have been a better place as it's more socially acceptable there.
IMO, I think the little girl will suffer because of the parents wanting to make a statement.

Agreed.
Religions have the legal right to be extreme and punish a child with rejection because they don't like that child's parents.

Forget about the "golden rule," "love," and "peace-making" which is what Jesus Christ stood for. None of that really matters because it isn't illegal to shun and judge others in a contemptuous way.

Lots of dispicable things, after all, are legal.
It's not that they don't like the child's parents; they don't believe in gay marriage.
Why would any gay couple want to send their kid to a school that practices a religion that doesn't recognize gay marriage ? What are they setting that child up for in the future ?
I think there's more to this than the article points out.
