Quite honestly, I believe the girl has been done a HUGE favor. No matter where she goes to school now, she will know that some places are not trustworthy. I wish I had known that as a child, yanno?

But, even if they did accept federal funds, currently there is no Federal Non-Discrimination Act that covers gays, lesbians and trans folks, so why would they be proteced?

Maybe I am mistaken with the law.

In the Catholic schools in my (Ontario) area (which are entirely publicly funded), there are Muslim and Jewish (among other denominations) students, students and teachers who are divorced; students with parents who are gay; and teachers who are living with their partners. I don't know of an Out gay teacher as of yet, however.

There is also talk of GSA's (Gay/Straight Alliances) being formed in Catholic schools in my area (a handful of public schools have them already).

Interesting thread.
