In Tennessee: Private School bans all things Gay


HAD TO REMOVE THE VIDEO, IT WASN'T WORKING

Here's the story
At least one Rossville, TN, parent is questioning school policy after her child's school sent an updated note defining its position on homosexuality.


"My initial reaction is that it was specifically aimed at one person, and I felt very sad about that," said the parent, who did not want to be identified.


Rossville Christian Academy is a private 4K-12 school with about 300 students. The parent believes the school's "ban" on homosexuality is illegally aimed at one gay student. The new policy reads:


"Homosexuality is forbidden in scripture (Romans 1:27, Leviticus 18:22). A staff member or student who promotes, engages in, or identifies himself/herself with such activity through any word or action shall be in violation of this policy. Should the administration determine a violation of this policy, the person involved will be subject to disciplinary action with the possibility of permanent dismissal. Any applicant who is not in compliance with this policy will not be admitted."
"There's a lot of ambiguety. I believe that it can't be enforced, how it's worded," the parent said. "If my daughter spoke about someone who was gay is she going to be expelled for that or is she going to be put in detention?"
Notice this is the only sin they are making a big deal about.

It won't play but for a second. Where is this school? I didn't hear about it on the news here.
