Many private schools receive federal funding under the No Child Left Behind Act. If this particular school is receiving funds, then it is not their right to practice discrimination. If however, their funding is strictly through private means, then they are free to do as they choose. Hell, they can even teach that the sun revolves around the earth if they choose. Having the right to do something doesn't make what they do right.

Believe it or not, I will never support anyone's right to discriminate. I don't care if it's constitutionally guaranteed or not. Constitutional guarantees prevents me from stopping them, but I sure as hell don't have to support them. I will agree that they can do it, but I will never agree that it's okay.
