Probably because the public school system in their area sucks as bad as it does everywhere, so they decided to use the Christian school to give Shay a better shot in life. Now they'll just move her to a different private school. Supports why they aren't fighting the decision, also.
Ontario is in San Bernadino County, and a check of their statistics doesn't show high schools that suck too bad. Dropout rates, the best indicator of school and community quality in my opinion, is very low for most all of the high schools.
I think it's very safe to say that we're just seeing the opening act of a show here. They aren't fighting the decision because they know they'll lose if they do. Private schools can admit, or not admit, anyone they want and there's nothing any judge can do about it. Also, after the last election, it's become real obvious that Gay activism isn't working out very well in swaying public opinion.
The smart move for the Gays is to cry victim and go for the sympathy vote. Don't demand Gay marriages, instead emphasize the plight of these poor people who are denied the rights and benefits that "everyone" else has, or who can't visit sicks ones on hospitals (yeah right!) If I were advising the Gays this is exactly the kind of thing I would advise them to do. Create a situation, get it into the press, then play the victim while a national debate develops.
It should be real interesting to see how this gets reported in the news tonight. I mean, who do you think notified the press of this in the first place? It damn sure wasn't the school.
to Shay's parents.
