Here's the thing. It's a Christian school- your lifestyle is considered a sin,and condoning sin is considered just as much of a sin. Now, sin is a Greek word that means, "to miss the mark'. The mark they're aiming for is obedience to God. They may be incorrect, and you may be uncomfortable, but they are not wrong. I said what I said.
Smh this is stupid and ridiculous! They worried about the wrong stuff at this point. The should be worried about the ones being abused that sit in the same school day after day but because they’re focused on this kind of stuff they miss those ones
Seems to me this couple has an $agenda$ just like all these other sue-happy people that reach out to the local media pretending they want to “expose” the bigotry of the world, when in fact they’re just sitting by their phones waiting for a lawyer to offer their services for free so they can win a multi-million dollar lawsuit that bankrupts small-businesses and destroys the lives of every hard working employee, teacher and the countless children they are educating.
They’re in the Bible Belt of Louisiana, where they are fully aware their lifestyle is not widely accepted. You’d think, as a concerned adoptive parent of a 5 year old who has lost both her parents, that maybe we shouldn’t put this kind of weight on her shoulders and find another school that ‘s not fundamentally religious or at the very least not flaunt your lifestyle inside the Baptist school.
It’s a private school right? Not public ..
It's funny how the church/religion teaches love, but behave in ways that don't exhibit that "love thy neighbor" mindset. Shame on you Bible Baptist Academy.
STOP SENDING YOUR CHILDREN TO AAAAAAAAAAAAANYTHING CLOSE TO BEING A CHURCH/RELIGIOUSLY AFFILIATED “SCHOOLS”!!!
They don’t teach inclusion…
They don’t teach tolerance…
They don’t teach compromise…
They don’t teach aaaaaanything close to the category of Love/Loving They Neighbors!
Sooooo, Stop Feeding Their Hate & find an Alternative Class in your area tht teaches the Basics of Humanity and Empathy
Or …
Our Human Species…Our 🌎…Our “hive” will Collapse.
Religious Indoctrination is just plain Wrong. Sorry to be the bearer of Reality’s reality…
But NOTHING that’s done in the “name” of someone’s lord…is for the benefit of others!
Clue: It’s to score religious “points”…for some screwedUp scorecard they’ll present at their turn at the Pearly Gate turnstile!
Used to be, We Parents taught our children what was important to help them Continue the pursuit of their American Dream done ethically and with honor/integrity so that Their Success was something they could be Forever Proud of…
But it’s been twisted and adulterated in the last 2+ generations by cynicism jealousy and greed, into a TwilightZone of bloodthirsty capitalism, & whoever’s “successful” now, it’s how ruthlessly they’ve squashed/ruined another to get ahead…how cutthroat and cold blooded they’ve been In executing the steps on Whoever got in their way to their version of their $$$$$$$$$$$Dreams!
Sad thing is…That wealth isn’t going to be the thing that makes ya happy.
👁👁 It’s Not “worth” what TheySay it is!
Wake Up!
Clearly, your lifestyle doesn’t align with the religious school’s fundamental principles, so why would you want to expose your adoptive daughter to that type of scrutiny after all she’s been through with the loss of her parents? I just don’t get it.
Judging for Jesus, it’s what they do…
I understand if she adopted her niece, but I also agree with the school for upholding the biblical truth. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Anything else just ain’t a relationship.
The school shouldn't have kicked the family out. Teach the word of God and the content the students need.
Christians need to only read the red words in the Bible that Jesus spoke ! they are all about love not judging that's up to God not you guys ! Love thy neighbor , thy neighbor that means all of them, Christians invalidate their message by not living by this Creed ! It's very easy to see a hypocrite ! They give Jesus a bad name !
Shame on the supposedly Christian School where's the compassion that Jesus would have shown ! Love is what Jesus taught !
Well they should've just said they were married sisters or married cousins…
It is Louisiana
Why make things hard for the child? What wrong has she committed?

Don't come for me
Respect the christain value. Just how you want to be respected
That church/school is disgusting. They took the parents hard earn money and then kicked the baby out of what she loved the most. Time for all this mess to stop. Time to put the old ways to rest.
Christian hate is nasty, yeah?
It's so pathetic to be homophobic these days. Shame on them.
Put her in a public school which will have no problem with your “lifestyle.” It’s a Christian school! They absolutely have the right to refuse you!
You don't want that child being educated at a baptist school anyway. Bad news, poor education, sick religion
God did not reject people. Don't use His word to hurt but to heal. Jesus himself said we would be known by our love. Are you serving God or Mammon🤔

I guess "God " doesn't love all his creations. Surprise someone hasn't sued these places that force their religious beliefs on a person. Not talking about that Bible school.
There are rules and regulations you need to follow if you want a child to be enrolled in a Christian school. I’m glad that the Baptist Christian school did what they suppose to do. Why did you enrol the child there at the first place, you know that marriage is only between a Man and a Woman.
Gonna have to side with the school on this one. Wouldn't want my kids to go to school with a classmate who likely has monkeypox LOL
Christians: stop persecuting us Christians: shove religion down your throat and behave the exact opposite of Jesus. You can bring your apologetics and bash me, but I speak truth. Jesus welcomed the lepers and prostitutes while most Christians condemn anyone not like them. Shameful and disgusting behavior from the school
I stand with the school. God said a marriage is between a man and a woman. God will be coming back for His children one day, are you ready????? Repent before it's too late 🙏
It's a religious school? How is this news? At least she's not wasting her $.
Good for the school
Hmm people gossiping and judging in the 'baptist" community?! Who would of thought 👀
First of all, zoie is the cutest little girl ! I hate that they are putting this young child through this! They should be able to sue!
What???? . Poor baby. This two angels are helping her. This is just wrong.
This isn’t what the Bible is about at all, I am so sorry 🤍❤️ your family is beautiful and acceptance and love is all y’all deserve. Period. Thank you for adopting. That’s love 👏🏽❤️
Homophobia is wrong!!!
Is it a private Christian Academy? Unless it's a public school, this school should be able to set their own guidelines. A free country means EVERYONE should have a few choices and some people might choose to live by Bible teachings even today.
Religious people have the right to practice their beliefs even when others don't agree. We just got to step back and respect their
decisions.
This is wrong age should be able to go there
?
No hate like Christian love.
Especially Baptist.
These institutions are why I don’t believe in god anymore.
Because your coaching her to push your beliefs on the other students
I feel bad for the girl but people need to stop getting made at the church. Stop taking away our beliefs to accommodate a very inappropriate life style. It’s a church, we’re people choose to live by Gods way, not mans way. Stop trying to take away from the church and the straight people
Christianity is Hate. Hail Satan today!
They don’t teach alternative lifestyles.
As they said, it was not a good fit.
It’s their right. No need to shame them.
