Its functionally legal to discriminate against gay people in America now. I see this as testing the waters more than anything.

Notice they didn't put their name on it anywhere. Fucking cowards.

EDIT: yikes, I just read the third punishment... So vindictive, and for what? Conservatives are such thin skinned crybabies.

Also, I don't know how closely college admissions look at things like this, but if I had any input in the decision to accept this student to my college, I would 100% see this as a positive.

the gays are cool, modern christians do not follow my teachings. they are worshippers of an anti christ. and use my name in vain to carry out his will.

I would expect them to act like Christians, or at the very least, not do things that will get them sued.

There's nowhere in a school charter that says, oh, I'm sorry you like boys. I know you've completed all of your compulsory education, but because of your activities outside of the school that have nothing to do with the school itself, you have to start over from kindergarten.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they had something like that in there lol... Christian schools are insane (can't wait for my taxes to start subsidizing them!)

Either way, this person graduated whether they get the piece of paper that says it or not. They could spin this into a positive if they do it right... Many schools would not see this as a bad thing, and it could also make for a killer college essay

I went to a Christian school and it was staffed by parents who wanted to save money on the costs of sending their kids to Christian school.

The sheer volume of could not give a fuck was immeasurable as long as it didn't affect them personally.

Most Christian schools have vague morality clauses in the contracts for students and staff alike.
