“In 2022, the 2 Fox Valley Lutheran High School students were a few months from graduating when they got called into the dean’s office. One was the cheerleading captain & National Honor Society inductee; the other a basketball player, homecoming queen & student council member” 2/
“Both were accomplished and well-respected students.
Yet in separate meetings with the dean, they learned they faced expulsion — not for cheating or plagiarizing or breaking the law, but because administrators suspected the young women of dating.” 3/ #Christofascism

A Christofascist loophole: “State law prohibits public schools from discriminating against students on the basis of sex, sexual orientation or disability, but it does not extend the same protections to private schools—EVEN THOSE RECEIVING PUBLIC FUNDS,” e.g., through vouchers. 4/
“Fox Valley Lutheran in Appleton is one of 373 of Wisconsin private schools that currently receive public funding through tuition vouchers.” 6/
Per “this year’s preliminary #s, they serve more than 52K voucher students, which = 6% of all students at Wisconsin publicly funded schools. About 1/5 of voucher schools have 90% or more of their students on vouchers, what one scholar describes as ‘private in name only.’” 7/
“Wisconsin spent about $443 M this year on the four choice programs. Some Rs, including 2022 gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels, have pushed for ‘universal’ school choice, which wld allow any WI student, regardless of income, to attend a private school at taxpayer expense.” 8/
“The cheerleading captain … recalled the dean saying he’d go easy on them bc they were good students. The pair cld remain enrolled and graduate, so long as they broke up and spoke with a pastor — & after he outed them to their parents.” #Christofascism 9/
“The next day, dozens of seniors quietly protested the decision by wearing their school-issued class T-shirts, which were tie-dyed rainbow. The next week, the young woman found herself again meeting with the principal, athletic director and her parents.” 10/
“The principal, Alan Nolte, began with a prayer that asked the ‘Heavenly Father’ to bless the meeting as they ‘help to build (the student) up,’ according to a recording of the meeting.” 11/
“Nolte then proceeded to ban her from any extracurriculars or school activities that were ‘a little bit more public in nature’ for the rest of the year.” 12/
The principal of this private school (which receives public funds via vouchers) said the high school students’ relationship was a sin because ‘the Bible is clear,’ but that the administration was treating it as any other code of conduct violation.” 13/ #Christofascism
