The family was presented with a document informing Armstrong that she had been suspended after the school got access to the privately shared message. The school alleges that Armstrong’s post was a “disparaging remark reflecting people at Tennessee Christian.” Referring to the message, the suspension document states, “The comment reflected on the institution, faculty, staff, alumni, and students in the most negative possible way.”

Not to reflect on them in a negative way, but it kinda sounds like they're a bunch of bible-bashing assholes.

Sounds like!?! They literally quote the bible and call it sinful:

In the school’s most recent handbook, the Marriage, Gender and Sexuality section reads, “We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God. (Matt 15:18-20; I Cor 6:9-10.)”

For anyone not aware, if you hear/see someone use the term "sexual immorality," they're 100% going to start defending their shit with Bible verses.

That term doesn't exist outside of Christianity (and even within Christendom, it's poorly defined)
