Texas School Rejects Admission for Daughter of Lesbian Couple
-------------------------------------------------------------



And in Texas, a private Christian school has denied admission to a
four-year-old student because her parents are lesbians. St. Vincent’s
Cathedral School says it won’t allow Olivia Harrison because of its
"clear teaching of the Christian faith." In an interview with CNN,
Olivia’s mother Jill Harrison said she wouldn’t have tried to enroll her
daughter at the school had she known its stance.

Linda Harrison: "I absolutely would not want her to partake in a school
where they did not believe or condone the relationship that we have
together. I would have never tried to apply for that school, had I known
that this was their standpoint and this was their view."
