If a Muslim/Hindu school learned that one of it's students came from a family that ate pork/beef...would they not expell them? It's a fundamental of their religion, and it's not outrageous to require the parents of students enrolled to follow the faith and beliefs.

It's part of the religion! If you believe...you have to do it! If you don't believe...you don't go there! And that includes the opposite. To do it (go there), you have to believe.

What is coming of this world where people have the audacity to expect an entire religion to make an exception of one it's cornerstone fundamentals...for them?

I don't have a problem with Catholic learning institutions requiring it's students & families to be Catholic. If you're not, and don't want to be...why enroll your child there?

Unless, as discussed recently, the school is under federal subsidy. At that point...no exceptions, and no exclusions. Gay, straight, crippled or crazy.....you pay, you attend.
