Catholic school boots student with gay parents
BOULDER, Colo. — A Catholic school in Colorado is kicking out a preschooler because the child’s parents are lesbians.
The child will not be allowed to re-enroll next year at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School. The Denver Archdiocese posted a statement Friday that the parents are “living in open discord with Catholic teaching.”
The statement says students in Catholic schools are expected to have parents who abide by policies of the school and church. The Archdiocese said students with gay parents in Catholic schools would become “confused.”
The school’s decision was first reported Friday by KUSA-TV in Denver.
