St. Agatha Catholic School in southeast Portland, Oregon, revoked enrollment to the children of a same-sex couple, prompting community outrage and debate over religious values and inclusivity.
Fr. Luan Tran, the school’s pastor, said that admitting the children could be perceived as a scandal, as the family structure contradicted Catholic teaching which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
The couple had been invited to a meeting in June, but when they arrived in July, they received a refund check and no admission offers extended.
Community members, including other parents, have said they may withdraw their own children from the school in protest, citing the staff’s positive reputation and welcoming nature.
The situation echoes earlier controversies at other Catholic institutions, where similar policies have sparked widespread criticism and raised concerns about moral consistency.
QUESTION: Should religious schools be allowed to deny children admission based on their parents’ sexual orientation? Is this protecting Church values or punishing children? Share your thoughts in the Comments section.
