A 3-year-old was kept from enrolling at a religious-based school because he has two fathers, according to a letter sent by the school.
Action 7 News got a copy of the letter that Hope Christian School sent to the family.
It says in part: “Same gender couples are inconsistent with scriptural lifestyle and biblical teachings,” and "Home life doesn't reflect the school's belief of what a biblical family lifestyle is.”
The letter also says since the school is private, it is free from "excessive government interference in matters of religion."
The school will receive more than $60,000 in federal tax dollars this school year. That money will be used for educator professional development, according to the state's Public Education Department.

+11But judging these parents based on their sexual preference reflects what the Bible says? Nope. Sure one always wants to use the argument that the Bible speaks against homosexuality but what does it also say about loving everyone? About judging? God says come as you are. No, let's ignore all of those. I love my God with all my heart but his people sometimes make me hang my head in shame.
Anyway.... Christian Schools have that right and christian Schools pay taxes like everyone else. Why would Gay Parents want their Child to go to a Christian school? Better education than Public School?
POINT IS..... They should not refuse the Student because of the Parents..... and that is what I already said HOWEVER
If the Student is Gay, the School has Every right to refuse that student and if the Parents have a problem with that they can go to another school
I stand up for the What I just said.... Either way The Courts will decide
But I was just making a point using that News story as an example for the School.
The school should not deny the student just because the Parents are that way, but if the Student is gay, then the School has that right, in spit of any federal Money because it is an issue of Religious rights
Do they also reject any non-baptized students or students with non-baptized parents? Because according to Christianity, above all else, you have to worship their God above all else-- all other rules come second to that. Do they reject people from divorced parents? The New Testament is strongly against divorce. What about students whose parents who work on Sundays? That's at least one of the commandments, you know-- a much more important rule than those in Leviticus (where homosexuality is mentioned to be wrong). Speaking of Leviticus, do they also reject children who wear clothing made of two different materials?
Then they can be as bigoted as they want.
And, it's definatly better for the child to go to a different school seeing how as a Catholic school, they will most likely teach the child that what his/her parents are doing is wrong and a sin in every manner.
As a Christian, I don't agree wtih this "schools" tactics though. If they really believe what they are "teaching," they should've accepted this child so that they could teach him NOT to follow in his parent's "sinful ways." I could honestly go on forever about how what this church is doing is un-Christian but I'll save that for another time.
Finally, if this is a private school they shouldn't be recieving federal money. That would make them a public school, hence they cannot turn away anyone for any reason. They need to refigure their school type and such.
