Disgusting.
A teacher claims in court that her Christian school suspended her son for the "sin" of being gay, then subjected her to "scathing condemnation and blame" for supporting him rather than demanding that he "renounce his sin" - a situation so fraught that it led to her firing.
Of course, as a student at a private school, the expelled student has little recourse. The school can pretty much expel him for anything that violates their rules, no matter how stupid and bigoted those rules are.
"At said meeting, plaintiff was informed that her son was to be permanently suspended from school and would not be permitted to return until he "renounced his sin.'"
School Board member Rich Raynor followed this up by telling her: "'your son is broken, and it's your job to fix him,'" the complaint states.
And, Wright says, Raynor's wife told her "that this was a 'battle for [your son's] soul' and opined that he 'may have been abused as a child.'"
So, according to the complaint, the parents are being blamed because their son is gay, and it was suggested that he was "abused." There's some of that fine Xtian "love" I keep hearing about. Unfortunatly for Wright, this is a private school. I am not an attorney, but without any sort of contractual protection, I don't think she has a shot at getting her job back, or receiving any compensation.
Even as the population as a whole tends towards being more accepting of people of various ethic and sexual background, we still have these fortresses of intolerance, where hatred of the "other," using an ancient text, is incubated.
