That's not what I see happening. They are not merely disagreeing, but using their power to deprive a student. What I see is a group of people in power - the bigots - who are actively trying to prevent a certain segment of society - homosexuals - from sharing the same rights and privileges.
Alansmithee: attempt if you will to show how the girl in question would be imposing upon the school if she attended. How does that affect anyone at the school? If a gay student was at the school, how would that adversely affect anyone attending? Who does it hurt and more importantly, how does it prevent the administrators from believing what they want to believe...that homosexuality is wrong?

Even if this is true (which is a topic for another thread), it's not something to be taken lightly... homosexual people don't wake up at the beginning of the day and decide to be gay...it's usually a life choice...even more significant than deciding upon a career or lifelong spouse. I might even be persuaded that it is not so much of a choice.
Besides...you know what else is a choice? Religion.
