Do you have any examples of LGBT students getting kicked out of private or
parochial schools, or not accepted because of their, or their parents,
sexual orientation? We need a couple of concrete examples quickly. See
below. I asked Pat the same question from MDLC perspective.

Subject: Private sch discrimination
This is from our lobbyist re: the BOAST bill. (Pat, this would give tax
credits to businesses who donate money for scholarships for students to
attend private or parochial school) One of our points is that these schools
do not have to take everybody; they can discriminate based on disability,
sexual orientation of parent or student, etc.
Please help us come up with examples of instances in which students with
disabilities, etc., have been turned away from private or parochial schools
in Maryland.
I don’t think we need names at this point but instances that we could
corroborate if it came to that.
You must know many schools that actively or passively steer kids away.
Thanks.

Hi Bebe,
At the Boast hearing, Sen. McFadden wanted me to get back to him with actual
instances of private schools discriminating against kids. Do you have any I
can give him? Thanks,
Melissa

None that I know of. However, I I don’t know how many parents have been scared away from schools because they were afraid they would be mistreated due to their sexual orientation. Gilman only has two openly LGBT families that I know about.
