BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- A Catholic school in Colorado is kicking out a preschooler because the child's parents are gay.
The child will not be allowed to re-enroll next year at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School because the child's parents are gay women.
The Denver Archdiocese posted a statement Friday that the parents are "living in open discord with Catholic teaching."
The statement says that students in Catholic schools are expected to have parents who abide by policies of the school and church. The Archdiocese said that students with gay parents in Catholic schools would become "confused."
The school's decision was first reported Friday by KUSA-TV in Denver.
