A group of oh-so-concerned parents is trying to kick some kindegarteners out of a Catholic school because their parents are icky gays.
The Rev. Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of diocese schools, said that if Catholic beliefs were strictly adhered to, then children whose parents divorced, used birth control or married outside the church would also have to be banned.
"This is the quagmire that the parents' position represents," he said. "It's a slippery slope to go down."
My God. It's actual logic. *hugs*
Others are worried the boys' attendance will set a precedent, saying their presence is part of a larger effort by the gay community to change the church.
"The boys are being used as pawns by these men to further their agenda," said Monica Sii, who has four children at the school.
Possibly, possibly. Not every person sends their kids to school for the sole purpose of seeing them educated. But... what, exactly, do you think you're making them if not pawns to further your agenda? They're five years old, and you're saying they shouldn't attend the same school as your kids because of what they're parents presumably do.
