FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME!

I have given away 6-8 copies out of sheer proslytizing joy!

Dumb for opening her mouth, that's for sure. There's a long tradition of people looking the other way (which is what the Heinlein quote is all about).

I hope she wins a billion dollar judgement from the school. The SDA's I've (knowingly) been in contact with, love being martyrs. It would make them so happy.

It's not likely if they can show even a hint of it being common knowledge or policy. Hell, they may even be able to cite their religious text as a source.

It is a private school, based on a specific faith. If a standard of behavior was part of the contract, then there isn't a damn thing she can (or should) do.

i'm not SDA and don't agree with their take on things, but if we are going to classify them as a christian faith we can't say they are wrong in following through on their beliefs while calling other christians hypocrites when they don't.
