After a Lutheran school expelled two 16-year-old girls for having "a bond of intimacy" that was "characteristic of a lesbian relationship," the girls sued, contending the school had violated a state anti-discrimination law.So, what do you think? I think "freedom of religion" means exactly that - religions are free to treat people any way they want. If the girls are so stupid that they want to continue to participate in a religion that hates them, one has to ask just how dumb they are.
In response to that suit, an appeals court decided this week that the private religious school was not a business and therefore did not have to comply with a state law that prohibits businesses from discriminating. A lawyer for the girls said Tuesday that he would ask the California Supreme Court to overturn the unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal.
I've said it before - I don't like any of the organized religions - but the constitution guarantees them the right to do most anything they want - short of human sacrifice.
Check out the image used in this post - does this imply religious persecution? Is this church school discriminating against Christians and Muslims? Is there any difference between this and what's posted above?
