A Christian school in California is facing a huge battle with the state.
Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) is representing River View Christian Academy in northern California. The school was raided earlier in the year, SWAT style, by the state.
According to PJI, the raid was carried out by 16 armed law enforcement from California Highway Patrol, two canine units and 17 social workers. Students and staff were horrified by the sudden and unexpected attack.
The state was misled into thinking that the school was harboring illegal drugs, amassing ammunition, and preparing for doomsday.

...
Even though results from the raid did not uncover any apocalyptic, end-times type of scenario, the state has not stopped and is fining the school daily with claims of improper licensing.
The state is now saying that, due to recent legislation, it is no longer possible for a private boarding school to operate without a considerable amount of licensing and oversight by the Department of Social Services.
With the increase in licensing, the Christian school would have to abandon their biblical values. The state requires that licensed facilities allow students to have the right to engage in spiritual and sexual exploration, which contradicts the standards set by RVCA and the morals of many parents, the Pacific Justice Institute said.

Is there a difference between not punishing sexual preference and not allowing it on premises.
Because both should be expected.
I am assuming in a Christian school that making out is frowned upon.

To be honest, I was having a hard time understanding what the new regulations are.
No school should allow sexual expressiveness in school. Parents are trusting their kids are in safe hands.
I didn't read the full article, but I was sincerely asking if this was to keep Christian schools from discriminating against kids based off of perception.
The problem is the state has been after this school for 15 years wanting them to be a group home. They want to remain fully Christian which is not possible under the state licensing. This school has alway been "licensed" (affidavit) through the dept. of education. The school was investigated 4 times over the last 15 years and 3 times shown to be exempt from state licensing and was in fact shown to be a valid school. The state is trying to make them look like radicals so they can force them to comply with their non-christian morals.

California is now officially deemed "criminally insane" in my book .
Just now?
That's why I was asking what I was, they're on a different level over there.

Next they’ll demand that muslim schools teach about sexual exploration.
Oh wait a minute, no they won’t.

Let's see what comes of it.
As a skeptic agnostic, trust but verify doesn't apply to institutions for me.
What happens when you search the school?
California may be playing politics, but maybe there is something to it. We know that sometimes people jump to conclusions in the case of the covington catholic in Washington.... And sometimes people jump to conclusions by trusting "men of God".
Judging is a sin by the book, but being skeptical and informed is kosher to my knowledge.
RVCA is licensed as a private residential school under the California Department of Education. We are not a residential treatment center, therapeutic boarding school, or alternative boarding school as defined by Community Care Licensing.
