Christian schools have every right to hold students and faculty to Biblical standards of conduct.  That's why they're in business.  I'm sure that if a student came to a Christian school and recruited for Stormfront, they'd be expelled, and that's within the perogative of a Christian school.  This school will not allow for homosexual behavior or advocacy of same.  That's their perogative. 

The legality of gay marriage may well be a settled issue for my lifetime, as the legality of abortion appears to be.  The acceptability and moral correctness of those issues is most certainly not settled, however.  At least not on Earth.  These issues ARE most certainly settled in Heaven, however, and certainly not in the manner of Supreme Court rulings. 

I'm not going to say that the Bible condones homosexual activity.  Because it doesn't.  Scripture says what it says, and if I'm dissonance in the Echo Chamber, so be it.   

Did we ever resolved that issue that the original translation of the Bible arguably states do not lie with male relatives any more than one would lie with female relatives, because both are an abomination? Or words to that effect at any rate?
The original translations of the Levitical passages referred more to pagan sexual rituals involving men moreso than homosexuality outright.

I don't know Hebrew (I know a little Greek), so maybe I'm wrong.  But how did every Christian and Jew get it wrong before the 20th century?
Maybe how large portions of the church got justification wrong in the Middle Ages?

Why are you so certain about this? Such activities would not contradict a "biblical lifestyle". In fact depending on the interpretation of the Curse of Ham, they would be entirely in line with biblical teaching.
Absolute nonsense.

I'm not going to comment on some extremist academy you might find in some obscure place, but 99% of Christian schools would not put up with this, nor would they consider this in line with Biblical teaching. 

Posts like this are pure propaganda, repeating a falsehood to where it will seem real to some who don't know better.

That 99% you so blithely claim would have been more like 50/50 less than 60 years ago, and a distinct minority south of the Mason-Dixon line. Please don't rewrite history as if the word of God was not actively and widely used as an excuse to forestall interracial marriage.

The word of God is eternal, fuzzy, but Humanity's misuse and misunderstanding of it is likewise timeless, and constantly needs to be struggled against.
To some people, Law trumps Grace, unfortunately.

Why do you care what she does with her personal life? She does not support same-sex marriage. How does it effect YOU? It's time you mind YOURown business! You all give those who oppose same-sex marriage a hard time by saying something like "It's not your life or your business!" and "How does their marriage effect you?". You all are bunch of hypocrites with a different set of standards!
While it doesn't directly affect *me* literally, it is important to note that Virginia has voucher laws, and students are able to attend there with voucher funding.  Thus, it affects Virginia taxpayers.
