I do wonder what measures were taken to restore the students before expulsion. I'd hope they were counseled and encouraged in the Lord and given room to repent; though God knows they'd continue to struggle with same sex attraction afterward. Some things would have to remain private relating to the girls if they, or one of them, desired to stay seeing same sex attraction doesn't just "go away". I wonder what role the parents played in this? Did they encourage the girls or did they seek to persuade the girls to repent and be restored?

I don't know. Those are my initial thoughts.

I didn't read the article (and I probably should), but I know kids can also say/do things just for shock value or because they think it's cool. Hopefully it was investigated thoroughly for context and good judgment's sake.

I would be curious as to the reaction of the parents, and if they encouraged the behavior or found out about it at the same time the school did!
