I am not sure why some consider this article to be controversial. Here are some things to consider. Can we condone violence at any one of our schools for any reason? To what extent is the school responsible for creating an environment where students take matters into their own hands? Keeping in mind these are high school students, when confronting a situation where students of approximately the same age engage in romantic activity, are they always expelled--whether same-sex or opposite-sex or do we have different standards for each? Is expelling the most constructive solution or is there a more restorative approach?  Because this was not a case involving abuse of power, why was this referred to a government body? It is long past time that our denomination and its centers of education woke up to the fact that we have lesbian and gay members who are fully committed to Christ, to living responsible lives and given half a chance would avoid promiscuity.
