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.
