A Catholic school in Boulder, Colorado is kicking out a preschool student because the child's parents are lesbians. The school, Scared Heart of Jesus Catholic School, according to ABC News 7 of Denver that, "The Denver Archdiocese posted a statement Friday that the parents are living in open discord with Catholic teaching." The statement then went on to say that "students in Catholic schools are expected to have parents who abide by policies of the school and church," and said "students with gay parents in Catholic schools would become 'confused.' "

One has to admire the open arms of the Catholic Church, right? Kicking a child out of a school based on the sexuality of his or her parents is ridiculous. Any institution, including churches, that blatantly discriminate against sexual orientation, especially in this day and age, is operating way behind today's times. This is just another example of the disgraceful and hurtful practices of the Catholic Church.

Hopefully the child finds a better school, one that cares and nurtures, and welcomes him or her for who they are and who his or her parents are.
