If They Receive ANY Government Funding I’ll Freaking Snap
What upsets me most about hate-filled Christians is they really ruin it for ones that mean and do well.
Seems there’s a Lutheran school in (of all places) California that is being sued for expelling two girls who are –get this- suspected of being lesbians.
Right now my brother, the former school counselor, is spinning in his grave. Oh wait, he’s not dead, rather his head is spinning out of control. The girl’s principal, a man who’s only function is to lead, mold and mentor the young, just told two adolescent girls that they were not normal. That’s healthy.
This Bork guy (I refuse to use the obvious Bork is a Dork pun) gets even better-
Concerned about the Christian conduct huh? Well, the girls’ attorney, Kirk Hanson, points out the obvious hypocrisy in Dork’s (damn, I did it!) er- Bork’s rational with this stroke of genius-
Hanson said the 142-student school in Wildomar, Calif., must comply with state civil rights laws because it functions as a business by collecting tuition. I’m not sure about that. As much as I’m for equal rights, I’m under the sway that the same logic does not apply to certain private organizations, say the Moose Lodge or Elks. As much as I don’t agree, they can include or exclude whomever the hell they want. But, this is a school.
So why all this hatred toward two girls who might be lesbians? Usually this kind of mindless crap from male authority figures is reserved for ‘them peter puffers.’
My theory is this- Ol’ Bork came home early one day and caught his wife on the kitchen table rug-munching with her quilting instructor. Now Bork’s wife isn’t gay mind you, she was just experimenting outside her norm due to the fact that she was sexually unsatisfied at home by Bork himself. Seems Bork has a problem getting his solder to stand at attention due to his own homosexuality that he keeps buried deep in depths of his denial lobe.
But that’s just my theory. After all, can one even imagine a straight guy who would be repulsed two high school chicks getting’ it on?
Christians can be forgiven for every sin, except homosexuality. God forgave Jimmy Swaggert for spanking it in front of a hooker, but he better not go see “Brokeback Mountain”.
Again, don’t let these guys fool you. There are some good Christians out there that keep things in perspective, you just gotta be open minded and look for the good in them (ironic huh?).
Seems there’s a Lutheran school in (of all places) California that is being sued for expelling two girls who are –get this- suspected of being lesbians.
The lawsuit alleges that the school's principal, Gregory Bork, called the girls into his office, grilled them on their sexual orientation and "coerced" one girl into saying she loved the other.
The next day, the lawsuit says, Bork told the girls' parents they could not stay at the school with "those feelings." In a Sept. 12 letter to the parents, Bork acknowledged that 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."
Right now my brother, the former school counselor, is spinning in his grave. Oh wait, he’s not dead, rather his head is spinning out of control. The girl’s principal, a man who’s only function is to lead, mold and mentor the young, just told two adolescent girls that they were not normal. That’s healthy.
This Bork guy (I refuse to use the obvious Bork is a Dork pun) gets even better-
"Such a relationship violates our Christian Code of Conduct," Bork wrote in his letter, which was included as an exhibit in the lawsuit. He called the girls' behavior "scandalous" and "immoral."
Concerned about the Christian conduct huh? Well, the girls’ attorney, Kirk Hanson, points out the obvious hypocrisy in Dork’s (damn, I did it!) er- Bork’s rational with this stroke of genius-
"There's a lot of hypocrisy going on here," Hanson said. "The school is claiming the girls were expelled because their conduct wasn't within the Christian code. But at the same time, (the school) has students who aren't Christians and are even Jewish."
Hanson said the 142-student school in Wildomar, Calif., must comply with state civil rights laws because it functions as a business by collecting tuition. I’m not sure about that. As much as I’m for equal rights, I’m under the sway that the same logic does not apply to certain private organizations, say the Moose Lodge or Elks.

As I understand the case, the principal interrogated the girls separately and togther for hours, based on gossip going around the school. The girls' parents were NOT present. There was no evidence, other than gossip, that the girls were romantically involved. The suit is for invasion of privacy, discrimination, and unfair business practices. I have more details about the case on my blog:
Expelled on Suspicion
Separation of church and state issue: In this case, the school is NOT consituted as part of a church, but is a non-profit operation acting as a business (as many religious and independent schools are).
One of the interesting issues here is that the school, Cal Lutheran, enrolls students who are not Christian--who don't meet the standard of professing Jesus as their personal savior. (beginning of school's mission statement: "CLHS exists to glorify God by using His inerrant Word to nurture discipleship in Christ, serving primarily the youth of WELS and ELS congregations, equipping them for a lifetime of service to their Savior in their homes, churches, vocations, and communities.")
Private school enrollment is a contract between the parents and the school. The enrollment contract typically lists the obligations of each party, usually referring to a code of student conduct that the parents and the student sign.
The issue seems to be here, can a school expel a student without evidence?

"can a school expel a student without evidence?"
Damn good question. I gotta think about that one for a while.
