An 8-year-old Oklahoma girl has been expelled from school for telling another girl she had a crush on her. Delanie Shelton says officials at the Rejoice Christian Schools told her daughter Chloe that just expressing same-sex attraction was a violation of the Bible.  

Shelton said Chloe had been “ripped away” from teachers and friends, and asked, “Does God still love me?” (The Week)

My comment:  I only had sons and am woefully ignorant about bringing up little girls.  But isn’t having crushes on other girls a right of passage for many ( presumably not all) young girls and a normal part of growing up?  And if a child does reach adulthood more attracted to women rather than men, so what?   The Rejoice Christian school is mis-named, and expelling an 8 year old a shocking example of narrow- mindedness.
