School rejects daughter of same-sex couple
THE daughter of a same-sex couple has been refused entry to a
Catholic primary school in far western NSW because of her parents'
relationship.
The girl's parents, one of whom was reportedly baptised
Catholic, enrolled her into kindergarten at Sacred Heart Primary School in
Broken Hill for next year, but their application was rejected.
One of the mothers told the ABC the principal had phoned her
and said the women's relationship and living situation was the reason the
application had been turned down.
Trevor Rynne, principal of the Sacred Heart school, yesterday
confirmed the girl had been rejected because of her parents' relationship but
declined to comment further.
NSW Greens MLC John Kaye labelled the move "offensive",
arguing a school that received 85 per cent of its operational funds from the
taxpayer should not be able to discriminate. "Any school that receives
public funding should not be allowed to refuse the enrolment of a child on the
basis of their parents' sexuality," Dr Kaye said.
Religious schools are exempt from certain aspects of the
Anti-Discrimination Act so they can uphold their faith. But it is not clear
whether discriminating against a child on the basis of their parents' sexual
orientation would qualify for the exemption.
"It's a breach of the Anti-Discrimination Act, there's
no question about it. But a religious school is probably exempt from that
breach," said Stepan Kerkyasharian, president of the NSW
Anti-Discrimination board.
Several Broken Hill Catholic parishioners contacted by The
Australian yesterday expressed concern about the decision.
"I'm rather distressed about it because I'm a member of
the Catholic Church, and I believe it's not the way Jesus would have
acted," said one local woman, who asked not to be named.
Write between 150-175 words.
To start with, I absolutely
disagree that a Catholic primary school has refused entry a child because of
her parents' relationship.
I am pretty sure that this
rejection is based on the way of understanding the Catholic faith of this
school, an orthodoxy that does not accept the marriage between same-sex
couples, checking such circumstances, without asking other couples about the
use of artificial birth control, without even require a sworn statement about
marriage fidelity. A hypocritical church that looks the other way on other
matters.
On the other hand, studies
that I have read show that children brought up in families with same-sex
parents do just as well as children brought up in heterosexual couples.
I think that the negative and
discriminatory debate is damaging the most vulnerable members, children and
adolescents, and the church is contributing to it.
To conclude, in my opinion,
nothing and no one can steal the right to education from that child and of
course less, that the thief is an institution that pays the taxpayer.
