I don't know the church, school or denomination, but I'm not sure that the school would think of their rules as being rules of "hate." That's a pretty strong term.
I suspect, other schools sponsored by other faiths might also have rules based on their church's teachings and beliefs ... can't even imagine why they wouldn't, but, more than that, I guess I've always wondered why people go to places where they knew they are in conflict with the rules (especially private institutions) and even more so why they would subject their children to such a situation.
I always wondered why adults send kids into stores to buy liquor or whatever ... simply to test the rules. Seems like something of a disregard for the child's well being in order to promote the adult's point of view. I remember a case in Illinois (a lot of years ago) where a mother sent her child into an adult book store to try and get the clerk to sell to an under age minor. The adult book store owner had charges filed against the woman for "contributing to the deliquency of a minor" for putting her child up to it. Funny, both cases were dropped.
Oh ... by-the-way ... I don't know that the child was enrolled to "test" the powers that be. Could be they just thought the school provided a good education. But, they must have been aware of the rules, and, the fact they didn't fight the ruling says they weren't as upset as all that. In any case, I hope the child is able to get enrolled in a new school where her family's values are not the issue.
