Isn't the parents punishing the child? He would come home questioning their choice from what he heard in school.
Yeah, okay. You can disagree with the parents’ legal choice to, God forbid, have children. But no, punishment requires intent. And only one party in this scenario punished an innocent kid exactly the way they intended to.
It's a religious school. The doctrine of that religion doesn't favor same sex marriage. Why would any intelligent set of parents, with their child's interest in mind, want the youngster to go to a school that will teach values that conflict with their own?
Unless the parents are attention wh... grabbers.
Pretty sure schools sponsored by other denominations would likewise decline a student for similar reasons. Not just Christian ones, either.

The ELCA (Lutheran) would not raise a ruckus about it, and neither would TEC (Episcopal). Both run schools. Two of my now grown children attended an ELCA school when they were very young, and LGBT parents did not preclude admission.
False, the Crusades were fought for the same reason we are now fighting the Islam terrorists. To stop the slaughter of Christians in the Holy Lands.
So you support that and you also supported the Inquisition. I think I finally understand you, and I don’t like what I see.
By the way you are woefully ignorant of the Crusades. I could recommend a few good books if you want to PM me. It wasn’t about liberating Christians. It was about wealth and land acquisition, benefitting the Catholic Church of course. Plenty of Christians and Jews in the Middle East died by European hands during the Crusades.
That's the key, the ability to expell w/o needing an Act of Congress to do so.
The ability to pick who you admit, who you do not, from day one.
This is why publics schools are needed and why they desperately need the necessary funds. Private schools can pick and choose who attends. They have no special ed kids. All of you who think public schools are so bad have no idea what teachers go through

And I could recommend books that say the opposite.
