However, there are no legal grounds to take it out on the child...none whatsoever.This school can admit whoever it wants and exclude whoever it wants. It's a religious institution. They don't have to admit Jews, Protestants, atheists or Muslims. They don't get any public money and they are exercising their First Amendment rights to freely exercise their religion. The whole point of the "free exercise clause" just like the "Establishment clause" is to be free from government interference in the exercise of religious functions and membership. They can exclude someone because they don't like their face and its none of the government's business. If I decide to start a Church of The Beautiful People with adjacent pre-school, I can exclude ugly kids or kids with ugly parents if I wish to. |
