JUPITER -- On the third day of school, his Bible teacher -- who is also the school chaplain -- pulled him out of class with a personal question. Jeffrey said the teacher assured him they were having a confidential conversation, and then asked whether it was true that Jeffrey was a homosexual.
"I told him, 'Yes, I am gay.' "
Two days later, he was expelled.
It's something that could happen at other Christian schools in Florida, even those that accept public money through the state's voucher program as Jupiter Christian does.
"Christian schools do not have to compromise their biblical standards to accept a child on a voucher."

That is so messed up.So what if he is gay.That teacher should be fired for misusing his postion of authiorty.
Ps if u had not noticed yet i am back and as pissed off as ever
Yes, these things happen...
....ON JUPITER!
So . . . being a homosexual hinders his ability to learn? I fail to see the logic.
I can't believe that teacher! He told him the discussion was confidential. What a liar.
And people wonder why everyone hates religion? Seesh... why the fuck does it matter if someone is homosexual or straight - does that make them a better person - stronger and faster or weaker and slower? And why the hell do others need to know what sexuality others are? Seesh...
Wow. How ignorant and stupid can people be? It's hard to believe that in today's world, people can still have such medeival conceptions of right and wrong.
Lovely.
