The link to the story doesn't work for me, but I based on what's been posted so far, I'm going under the assumption that this girl is being tossed out of a private school because her parents are in a same-sex partnership.

Plaw, what are you thinking?? Have you gone mad? Have you perhaps hit your head and are bleeding profusely from an open wound, so you're temporarily taken leave of your senses? Because it's a PRIVATE school?????

I'm sure the school has an admissions policy. If so, I would imagine it to be based on academic performance and the ability to pay the tuition. And I would think in the case of certain financially challenged children, perhaps scholarships are made available.

If this child meets those criteria, what does it being a private school have to do with it? What if she were black? Or Latina? Or Jewish? Or green with purple polka dots? What if she had nine arms and six legs? If she can meet the admissions criteria and can either pay the tuition or qualify for a scholarship, then she deserves to be admitted.
