In Riverside, California, an appeals court has ruled that a Christian high school can expel students because of an alleged lesbian relationship. Was this an appropriate action?

What ever happened to WWJD?!
I believe since it is a Christian school that it is okay for this to happen. In the Bible it states for a relationship should be between one man and one woman. If these girls still wanted to go to this school then they should keep the sexual preferance a secret and not openly tell anyone. This may offend some of the students and staff there. If these girls want to go to a Christian school, they need to change their ways because it is not Christian to be homosexual.

Christians Don't Discriminate!
I am a Christian and believe in God. I don't discriminate any individual with sexual preferance. I think Christain schools should not discriminate students based on sexual orientation, because your faith in God has nothing to do with sexual preferance.

Ever heard of little thing called Code Of Conduct???
Not everyone that goes to a Christain school is necesarilly Chritstian. Some kids are sent there because of their parents. But I do think it is a right thing to do because it is a Christian school. Christian schools have their own standards, and a code of conduct. If people believe in God then they should know that the bible says ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN. Christian schools should definately not allow their students to flaunt their sexual orientation around the shcool.

A Christian school is a Christian school. Lesbian is not Christian.
Since this is a Christian school and not a public school, they do have a say in the matter. These types of schools have different standards and if any student is to attend a Christian school, they are to abide by the requirements. But I personally feel that since it is a Christian school it was an appropriate action. No student should be aloud at a Christian school if they cant abide the religion.

Hello, everybody! Welcome!
Hello, everyone!
This is where 10% of your grade begins. The rules for the discussions are as follows:
1. You will be posting a blog on an issue. What you will do is EMAIL to me the blog on the issue you wish to cover and the commentary you wish to add to the topic (naturally, you've got to start the conversation). I will post it up on the blog site for your classmates; whereupon, the discussion will begin.
2. You will also be responsible for CONTRIBUTING your thoughts, comments, theories, comparisons, rants, raves, inquiries, outrage, etc. on each of the blogs posted by your classmates. It's a give-and-take discussion, as well it should be.
3. Your blog postings and responses must NOT be anonymous. It wouldn't make much sense to grade an anonymous contributor when I wouldn't know to whom I'd grant the grade, would it?
4. Since your blog postings and commentaries aren't going to be anonymous, I expect you to respond thoughtfully and intelligently. Please note, however, that I will not censor your writing. I strongly adhere to the ideology of freedom of speech. I simply ask that you refrain from using vacuous vulgarities and brash insults directed at your fellow commentators. That's not adequate argumentation, in any case.
5. Your blog issue will be on a CURRENT topic that's debatable. This may require you to start reading the newspaper and newsworthy magazines, watching the tube, browsing the internet, and so forth. Direct your blog commentators to certain stories/articles on the topic as well, to assist in your discussion and their contributions.
6. Bear in mind, folks, I'll be contributing, too! Don't let MY vantage dissuade you from posting either (in good argumentation, no side is 100% right or wrong!). That certainly ISN'T what freedom of speech entails. In other words, feel free to disagree with my views. Just be prepared to back up your claim!
7. Have a good time with this. What I hope this blog will do is free your mind a bit and give you some ideas as to research paper topics you might not have thought of before!
So, without further adieu... Let's begin with something easy --
Each of you introduce yourself and give us ONE pet peeve -- one thing that irritates you -- big or small -- that really gets under your skin.
I'll start:
I'm MacKenzie Jennings, and lately, I've been quite irritated with the number of license plates and bumper stickers that indicate drivers' political and/or religious agendas. Personally, I think they should be replaced with messages indicative of the drivers' driving habits instead.
