The school’s mission statement has always stressed inclusivity in general terms, noting that following Jesus "opens up doors and makes room at the table." But last year it added a paragraph to its website, which read in part, "We are an affirming school. We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in their holiness. We celebrate the diversity of God's creation in all its varied and beautiful forms."

According to the school, that update prompted donors to stop contributing, many of them citing their interpretation of Christianity as the reason. Now, UCA has announced it will close at the end of the school year due to the loss of financial support.

Kalie Callaway-George, UCA’s executive director and co-founder, said this new language "is kind of what started the backlash from our donor base, which we anticipated. It was just that we anticipated a 50% loss in funding and made adjustments for that. We had an 80% loss in funding and that was too much to overcome."

...

A lengthy letter from one church, which characterized the LGBQIA+ community as a "diverse collection of behaviors," explained: "Our greatest concern about the Accepting and Affirming stance is that it denies the Biblical definitions of sin and identity and thereby renders the grace of God meaningless."

Messages from individuals were far more blunt. One read, "Do not call yourself a Christian school if you are affirming sin. Jesus died to set us free from sin, not so we can die in it. You abuse kids by telling them sin is good. You are wicked."

Another declared, "By teaching them tolerance & acceptance and even to celebrate the gay lifestyle, you are setting them on a course to embrace the world and anti-God philosophy."

Supposedly, Walt didn't respond, but wrote "?Insane asylum?" on the envelope. Lol.

I remember fondly my time as an IK. It seems like a decade ago, but could have been as many as 2? 3? Years?

can't find it but someone recently stated that this is the latest push in eliminating public schools and libraries, two of the only public institutions left in america

for awhile they were really trying to suggest that all teachers and librarians were pedos (and doctors too, since any remnant of public healthcare has to go)

that didn't work so now they are using any interaction with a maligned minority of lgbtq folk to cut all funding and sell them to the highest bidder

yeah uh because of a cone? I doubt that.
