http://www.christianpost.com/news/atheist-group-files-complaint-against-christian-school-banning-sinful-acts-164468/Patrick Elliot of the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, the largest atheist organization in the United States, filed a complaint earlier this month against the school before the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
"St. John's Lutheran School has implemented policies that discriminate against students on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity," argued Elliot. "As these students are unable to attend the school, they are unable to participate in free and reduced price lunch programs."
...
When asked by CP about the claims some made that the policy outlined in the February letter was bigoted, St. John's Lutheran School replied that their policy "has nothing to do with fear, hatred, or bigotry... It is rather an expression of our conviction that, as Christians, we look to God and His Word to define what is right and wrong, moral and immoral."
Nope, nothing to do with fear, hatred, or bigotry... just their religion making them be afraid, hateful, and bigoted. That's all. Yay religious freedom!

(67,112 posts)the TPB talked to me and told me I could never come back if I kept asking questions. Fact was, the other kids were listening and thinking this is F'ed up. I stopped, my father was a prominent democratic politician and it looked good in his campaigns to be a church goer, although he could have cared less about religion.
