Chicago Tribune | School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents

ONTARIO, Calif. — A 14-year-old student was expelled from a Christian school because her parents are lesbians, the school’s superintendent said in a letter.

Shay Clark was expelled from Ontario Christian School on Thursday.

“Your family does not meet the policies of admission,” Superintendent Leonard Stob wrote to Tina Clark, the girl’s biological mother.

Stob wrote that school policy requires that at least one parent may not engage in practices “immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style, such as cohabitating without marriage or in a homosexual relationship,” The Los Angeles Times reported in Friday’s edition.

Shay’s parents have been together twenty-two years – longer than many morally clean, straight Christian parents stayed married. They have two other daughters.

I don’t know why they chose to place their child in the Christian school; perhaps they thought she would learn the virtues of charity, compassion, and tolerance there.
