COVENANT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
School defends expulsion over kiss
Academy faces student lawsuit

A private Christian academy is defending its right to expel a female student for kissing another girl off campus.

In court documents filed Jan. 4, attorneys for Covenant Christian Academy in Loganville say the school has a constitutional right to expel students for "sexual immorality."

Jessica Bradley was expelled from the Loganville school for kissing another girl at a slumber party in 2005.

The school filed its statement in response to a lawsuit by former student Jessica Bradley. The ninth-grader was expelled from the school last April. That prompted Bradley and her father to file a Gwinnett County Superior Court lawsuit in December.

In the suit, Bradley alleges invasion of privacy and breach of contract. The Bradleys are seeking at least $1 million in damages.

According to the suit, Bradley attended a sleepover party off campus with several other female students April 22, 2005.

At the party, she kissed another student and at an earlier date had kissed a different female student, according to the suit.

It's a private Christian school, they can do what they want. When I was in Catholic HS, the other Christian HS had one student rape another student. The rapist was expelled, but the girl who was raped also got suspended, and there wasn't anything they could do about it...private school.

Pretty much. While I personally might not agree with punishing students for things like that, I don't make the rules at that school.

Exactly. Whether or not you agree with the school authorities' decision, they didn't do anything illegal. I'm actually surprised that the girl and her father decided to go to court about it.

In this case, if they have actual proof that she behaved in a way they don't feel is appropriate, then she's out of luck.

I was reading about another case (I think in CA) where 2 girls were expelled for being lesbians with no proof. I think that's unacceptable. You can't take action against someone without proof.

I understand its a private school, but this is sad. I would not want to be associated with a school who would expell the victim. Talk about adding insult to injury.
