The student's parents are two women and the Denver Archdiocese says their homosexual relationship violates the school's beliefs and policy.

According to teachers at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, a meeting was held Tuesday to discuss the issue. The staff was told a student would not be allowed to re-enroll because of his or her parents' sexual orientation. The staff members were also told not to talk to the media.

In a statement sent to 9NEWS, the Archdiocese said, "Homosexual couples living together as a couple are in disaccord with Catholic teaching."

1. Duh

The Holy Mother Church is quite clear on how they see gays (unless the are in the Vatican).

2. Why would the parents want the child to go to a school with beliefs

that are opposed to their own? And yes, I know that the parents are probably Catholic. So am I, but I didn't want my children to attend parochial schools -- they're usually too conservative.

The child will be much better off in a place where he or she doesn't feel that being part of a gay family carries a stigma.
