School says girl not welcome because she's "not feminine enough"

[davidn3600]

The family of Sunnie Kahle, an 8-year-old from Timberlake, Virginia, recently received a letter from her school, Timberlake Christian School (TCS), in which the principal informed them that, “TCS is not the best place for (Sunnie’s) future education,” because her dress and behavior were not feminine enough.

As reported by WSET 13 News, the letter emphasized that Sunnie, who sports jeans, sneakers and a short hair cut, could be denied continued enrollment in the school. According to the TCS guidelines, enrollment at the bible-based institution could be refused to students who live in, condone, or support “sexual immorality; practicing homosexual lifestyle or alternative gender identity; promoting such practices; or otherwise having the inability to support the moral principles of the school.” The letter cited Bible verses, which they say are the basis of TCP’s principles.

Additionally the principal wrote, "We believe that unless Sunnie as well as her family clearly understand that God has made her female and her dress and behavior need to follow suit with her God-ordained identity, that TCS is not the best place for her future education."

1. What the fuck is wrong with these people? She's EIGHT

Of course, if she's ever said she's a boy in a girl's body, the last place she needs to be is around a bunch of constipated pseudo-Christians.

3. Have to wear a Muumuu?

or a bikini?

20. one of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins, the little girl dresses like a boy

and wears her hair short. You would think the gossip columnists needed her in a dress or they would die. Her parents said they let her be herself. Screw this school.

21. I learned by the age of four

that frilly dresses and fun were mutually exclusive. I'm sure these priss pots would have been aghast at me in my jeans having mud clod fights with the other kids in the neighborhood.

I had to wear the stupid dresses to school. At home, I wore hand me downs from boys.

And I agree 100%. The child deserves so much better.

5. +1000 nt

7. Absolutely she does

What a bunch of boneheads.

[awoke_in_2003]

8. Yep...

they are still dicks, though.

[Aerows]

6. Uh, I went to private school my whole life

wore dresses, and I have had a variety of hairstyles, both long and short. I can wear a pair of heels like nobody's business.

That certainly dictated my sexuality, didn't it?

[Skittles]

13. you want I should kick your private-educated ass, Aerows?

I'll wear my combat boots

[Aerows]

14. I'm pretty happy with my ass, actually

It might be private school educated and lesbian as hell, but it's a bit too fine to go kicking just now!

[Skittles]

15. mine, well, you can't bounce a quarter off of it

maybe a dime

[Aerows]

19. LMAO

Even better, you tight thing. I am not big and bountiful, I'm kind of like those small biscuits that get overlooked because they aren't as eye-catching, but are more nutritional and with some gravy on them tastes like heaven come to earth!

9. Jerry Falwell Territory.

This school is in the Lynchburg, Va. area, home of Liberty University. Enough said.

10. Those monsters have no idea what the child's "God-ordained identity" is

so they should try staying the fuck out of little kids' business.

pervos.

11. This seems to circumambulate pedophilia.

It seems an abnormal concentration upon sexual characteristics of a pre-pubescent minor. Since she is below the age of consent, shouldn't this kind of scrutiny be a form of sexual molestation?

[niyad]

12. a most excellent point. perhaps someone should alert cps.

[rhett o rick]

16. I hope her parents recognize that this Christian school isnt very "Christian" and run like

hell to a heathen "public school" that might be more Christ like.

[Zorra]

17. Parents should keep children as far away from RW religious wackos as possible.

These clearly deranged, hateful bigots destroy young minds and lives.

18. "... other students .. have been confused about whether she is a boy or a girl" SO

"Sunnie is being counseled professionally regarding her identity"

um

other students are confused so Sunnie gets professional counseling?

[LeftishBrit]

22. Well, they are right about one thing

It's not the best school for Sunnie's future education.

It's not the best school for ANY child's future education!

It should be closed down.

And what is meant by 'counselled professionally regarding identity and image in order to steer her in a particular direction to handle these identity issues'? This sounds very worrying!

Even 100 years ago, EIGHT-YEAR-OLD girls were frequently permitted to be 'tomboys', even if they were pressured to become 'nice young ladies' in adolescence. This school sounds truly extremist.
