It's sin (in their view), right? Is it a different kind of sin than others? It sure seems like it is, to some people. I dunno, just seems odd, to me.
Nothing odd about it , Timmy. You seem to be just trying to be contrary once again.
Everybody commits sin, and nobody's perfect. That much we can all agree on. But the homosexual lifestyle represents a lifestyle choice that is directly in opposition to, and defiance of, God's biblical plan for man.
Similarly, we know that Muslims dont believe in eating pork, based on the Koran. So if a kid at a Muslim school showed up with a pork chop sandwich in his hand every morning, they'd have to right to expel him too. It's the same basic principle.
A private religious organization is allowed to expel someone from their organization if the person defies the principles the organization is based on.
Anyway, the law says they can do it. And it's been done.
Nothing to argue about here.

The Christian school I attended didn't allow students who watched tv/had a tv in their homes, and I can ASSURE you, if someone was fornicating, they would have been immediately expelled, hetero or homo.
I would not want my children going to school with a professing lesbian. When they're older, and I've had a chance to properly educate them, that will be one thing. But to be in a normal setting with someone who advocates a sinful choice can potentially normalize the behavior in the eyes of my child.
If the girl[s] wasn't vocal about her "choice" to be a lesbian, then no one would have known, and being vocal about it is enough for expulsion, IMO. It indicates an effrontery, a bold mindset that doesn't care what others think about choosing to sin. I don't want my children in the company of people who deliberately choose sin. It would be like someone stating openly that stealing is fine, or that premarital sex is a good thing. I don't want my children exposed to people who believe sin is okay--not yet, anyway. And not their peers.
Bottom line: I agree with the school's decision.

Timmy's always contrary, you just gotta humor him.
Yes.
He seems to enjoy that role.

Off subject here, but in your opinion is private school better for kids then public? I know of kids from both you left and stayed in church.

It depends on the private school. Some of them are good, some of them are just as rotten as a public school. (Environmentally speaking) From an educational standpoint, private schools probably do better than public overall, but I don't have stats to back that up.
Homeschool is the best option for a Christian environment and high-quality education.
