The incident occurred last week, when Chloe Shelton, a second grader at Rejoice Christian School in Owasso, Oklahoma, told another female student she had a crush on her, mother Delanie Shelton told CNN.
"I was so blindsided. I was angry, hurt, betrayed, sad... so many different emotions. I just couldn't believe it," Shelton said. "I asked him to have a sit down meeting to discuss it and process it better and he refused, saying that 'nothing more needed to be discussed.'" Shelton said she hadn't explicitly read the handbook when she first enrolled Chloe in the school as a 4-year-old for Pre-K. But she also didn't know that, four years later, Chloe would say she had a crush on another girl.
Amidst threats of expulsion, Holden said her friends waited until they graduated to come out. So when she heard about Chloe's experience, those memories came flooding back. The idea that Chloe was questioning whether she deserved love from God or anyone shook her.Holden posted about it on Facebook, offering to put together care packages for the family.
You aren’t allowed to have a crush at this school 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣. Interesting
the real blessing in disguise ✌🏻
Expulsion is harsh but private schools have their rules. If you don't like those rules, don't go there. I don't imagine the reaction would be very different in a private Muslim or Orthodox Jewish school.
The world needs less religion, more education.
Parents need to better educate their kids bc this society is getting sickening 🤮
Solution? Send your child to a school that shares your personal beliefs.
What does an 8 year old girl know about ' crush ' ?
Send the girl to a better school. This school doesn't deserve her.

Did the family a favour. Little girls hold hands all the time - I'm sure that's not allowed either. Get the heck out of there
Here we go again. My ex-husband saw I was watching some soap opera one day and claimed I was 'no Christian godly woman!!' Sure thing. He lost custody of our children in the end due to delusional thinking.
Best thing that could have happen to this child is to be removed from a toxic environment. The whole 'holier than thou'attitude form these so called Christians is laughable. Kudos to this young girl for expressing her love to another human
And they say they are christians. Really? God loves everyone.

Philosocrat She will be much happier in a public school where she will actually receive an education.
religion, always helping always doing good always making sense. sky santa has all the answers.
Such a divisive story to pin people against one another. Who’s tired of the media?
When will they learn. 'Christian' does not translate to 'good people' Belieiving in jesus is not the same as equality for all
