girlwithalessonplan: positivelypersistentteach: schoolit: Sharon Wright, a teacher in Harrisburg, Pa., has filed a lawsuit against Covenant Christian Academy accusing the administration of suspending her son for being gay and firing her for not forcing him to renounce the “sin,” Courthouse News Service reports. In the 30-page complaint, Wright claims that after the high school senior announced his sexual orientation on a blog, school Headmaster Joseph Sanelli told the family their son should remain at home until a meeting could be arranged.

Question: Do you agree with the decision?

I don’t think this is a yes/no question.

  9. redheadchickenmama answered: If the family signed a ‘lifestyle agreement’ or similar doctrine, the school can do that. So very sad for the family, but legal.

  11. maevegreen answered: Christ would not recognize these Christians that do such evil in his name. I don’t accept or recognize any of it!

  14. fuckyeahnerdgasms answered: No I don’t degree with the decision but as it’s a private school I’m not sure if discrimination laws can actually come into play…

  16. sydernay answered: A decision requires a thought process, I see no process. The school officials obviously lack impulse control & respect for diversity

  29. tomesaway answered: In what universe is it okay to read a human being like this? It’s crap like this that gives Christians a bad rap; we’re not all like this.
