Teens accused of being lesbians sue school
December 29, 2005

RIVERSIDE, Calif. --Two 16-year-olds who were expelled from a Lutheran high school because they were suspected of being lesbians have sued the school for invasion of privacy and discrimination.

The lawsuit, filed last week in Riverside County Superior Court, seeks the girls' re-enrollment at the small California Lutheran High School, unspecified damages and an injunction barring the school from excluding gays and lesbians.

Kirk D. Hanson, an attorney for the girls, said the expulsion traumatized and humiliated them.

"Their entire support network was pulled out from under them because of suspicions about their sexual orientation," said Hanson, who declined to say whether his clients are lesbians.

The school is on Christmas break until next week, and messages left for school officials Thursday were not immediately returned.

The lawsuit alleges that the school's principal, Gregory Bork, called the girls into his office, grilled them on their sexual orientation and "coerced" one girl into saying she loved the other.

The next day, the lawsuit says, Bork told the girls' parents they could not stay at the school with "those feelings." In a Sept. 12 letter to the parents, Bork acknowledged that officials had seen no physical contact between the girls but said their friendship was "uncharacteristic of normal girl relationships and more characteristic of a lesbian one."

"Such a relationship violates our Christian Code of Conduct," Bork wrote in his letter, which was included as an exhibit in the lawsuit. He called the girls' behavior "scandalous" and "immoral."

Hanson said the 142-student school in Wildomar, Calif., must comply with state civil rights laws because it functions as a business by collecting tuition.

"There's a lot of hypocrisy going on here," Hanson said. "The school is claiming the girls were expelled because their conduct wasn't within the Christian code. But at the same time, (the school) has students who aren't Christians and are even Jewish

uhm, self defense class demo on how to get someone off you who is straddling you while u are flat on your back,
the boys were to scared to try and pin me (had a rep o bein a tad scary

) so my friend suzie got picked instead of a guy. this was taking place in the wee gym, doors all closed and no one could see in, however, twas an old building and a windy day, the door blew open as i had fliped over from her on top of me to the other way round...just as some 5th years were walking by and they saw two girls like that and assumed 6th year had some lesbians so half the school was informed that we were lesbians before lunchtime. and decided to keep callin us gay rest of the year.

you would think the pe kit would hav made it obvious what we were doin

gav · 30th December 2005, 04:10 PM

see the boys were prolly just too scared to pop a tent in front of their mates.

we never got self defence classes, but did get an incredible amount of country dancing tho.

I only just realised today, that tatus song 'Loves me not' is a song about sexual confusion, and so if a refutation of there first single...whos name i forget cos i only have it in russian and i never paid much attention to the name on me playlist.
Anyway!
That is fra'aling ridiculous! but tis a tiny school, so must be fairly elite.
So reckons it could prolly get away with that sort of highhandedness.

in school only one guy ever called me gay and he ended up getting thrown into a cooker at the local kebab house, the look on his face was priceless.

i'm not a camp guy so no one in school really clicked that i was gay

vaya · 30th December 2005, 05:33 PM

I've been called gay a few times because I sit next to the only openly gay guy on the bus. Its quite bizarre considering he's friends with my girlfriend.
