A Catholic school in the Diocese of Nashville has permanently expelled a student because the parents opposed a mandatory sex-ed course that they deemed to be “erotic” and a “near occasion of sin.”

On September 28, Father Ryan High School president Jim McIntyre told parents Jason and Susan Skinner that because of their opposition to the sex-ed along with their “public airing of your discontent” they could not continue sending their ninth-grade son to school unless they “concluded” their “dissatisfaction.”

“Unless you can assure Father Ryan [HS] that your dissatisfaction with the Human Sexuality curriculum issue is concluded, you are choosing not to allow [your son] to remain a student at Father Ryan High School,” the letter, obtained by LifeSiteNews, stated.

But the Skinners replied in a letter the following day that they would not surrender their rights as primary educator, that they still opposed the sex-ed, and that they would not voluntarily withdraw their child from school.

“We remain unsatisfied with the sex education curriculum and the school’s refusal to permit opt-outs of the offensive material in accordance with canon law. Further, we will not relinquish or subordinate our inalienable rights to freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and parental primacy at your discretion,” the parents wrote.
