Girl Expelled from Christian School after Picture with a Rainbow Birthday Cake

A Kentucky high school student was expelled from a Christian school after administrators saw a photo of the girl from her 15th birthday wearing a rainbow sweater posing next to a rainbow cake, according to the girl’s mother.

From the school: “On occasion, the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home may be counter or in opposition to the Biblical lifestyle the school teaches,” the handbooks states. “This includes, but is not limited to, sexual immorality, homosexual orientation, or the inability to support Biblical standards of right and wrong.”

Evangelical Christians like those in this school support Donald Trump. Supposedly Trump is their idea of Biblical standards of right and wrong. People on top of hierarchies are clueless and judgemental about anyone they want to force down their hierarchies on which they place themselves on top.

Tennessee Passes Bill to Discriminate Against LGBT Couples in Adoption

In a measure endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission,  Tennessee lawmakers on Tuesday passed legislation allowing Volunteer State adoption agencies to refuse to place children with same-sex parents.

The bill was opposed by LGBTQ rights groups, including the Tennessee Equality Project and the national group Lambda Legal.

“This bill would give a special license to faith-based child welfare agencies funded with taxpayers dollars to discriminate in foster care and adoption against parents who are trying to provide a loving home to children in need,” Currey Cook, counsel and director for Lambda Legal’s Youth in Out-of-Home Care Project said.

“This bill would children in foster care in Tennessee a much-needed family simply because agencies want to put their beliefs above the best of interests of the children,” Cook added.

Teacher of the Year Kneels at College Football Championship Game

Minnesota’s top teacher said her students were on her mind when she decided to kneel during the national anthem while being honored at Monday night’s college football championship game.

The state’s 2019 “Teacher of the Year” Kelly Holstine took a knee while being recognized on the Louisiana State University field along with the other honored teachers. 

Standing with them was Donald Trump.

“I just decided that it felt like the right thing to do, to have a very respectful protest,” Holstine told The Hill. “It’s really Martin Luther King Jr. says it best: ‘Nobody's free until we're all free.’”
