I do get your point, I just think they made a poor choice for their excuse. "Troublemaker" getting expelled is a lot less contentious then their choice.

I recognize the trend as well. However, I think I am fairly Universal in my examination of this sort of intolerence. I would be just as quick to condemn a homosexual school that banned straights.

The thing is, Christianity of this sort, seems to me to step away from what I see as the intention of Christianity and just use the religion as a prop for their personal intolerance. I take comfort in the fact that given enough time, this sort of intolerance will fade into the past like the nonsense it is.

I wonder at the source for this story. It originated with the LA Times and was picked up by AP. These are the only two sources so far and the AP story is based in the LA Times one. Given that the parents aren't going to appeal the decision I wonder who called the paper?
