Court says private school can expel lesbians

A private religious high school can expel students it believes are lesbians because the school isn't covered by California civil rights laws, a state appeals court has ruled.

Relying on a 1998 state Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Boy Scouts to exclude gays and atheists, the Fourth District Court of Appeal in San Bernardino said California Lutheran High School is a social organization entitled to follow its own principles, not a business subject to state anti-discrimination laws.

	I grew up Wisconsin Synod Lutheran. My father thought those Missouri Synod folk were crazy liberals. I'm old enough to remember the Big Break-up, which was not pretty. I got away 40 years ago, and I still twitch when the subject of That Church comes up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
