Penguin Family Values...Except With People

Perfect example of the misplaced priorities of conservatives vis a vis their penguin family values:

A 14-year-old student was expelled from a Christian school because her parents are lesbians, the school's superintendent said in a letter.

Shay Clark was expelled from Ontario Christian School on Thursday.

"Your family does not meet the policies of admission," Superintendent Leonard Stob wrote to Tina Clark, the girl's biological mother.

Stob wrote that school policy requires that at least one parent may not engage in practices "immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style, such as cohabitating without marriage or in a homosexual relationship."

Look, it's a private school, they can do what they want, but depriving the girl of an education for the relationship her parents engage in seems pretty fucking outrageous to me. Especially the fact that the school's policy considers their relationship as immoral simply because it's homosexual, even though:

Clark and her partner have been together 22 years and have two other
daughters, ages 9 and 19.

Sounds like real family values to me.
