It's a private school and it has the right to do such things if this particular school wants.
Don't go around bandying the claim that Christian schools are bigotous just because this particular school is standing by what this particular school believes. It is their American, or as America puts it, their "God given right" to stand by their beliefs in such a way. It is also the 'parents' "right" to be lesbians. It's natural that such a conflict of rights will occur in a nation like America, and to claim that one group has more rights than another by forcing the school to accept students it doesn't want to is wrong. If this school is forced to allow students it doesn't want to allow then that's the same as saying that this Christian school has less rights than whomever else, in this particular case: lesbians. It is their property and their institution and their right to allow a limited number to participate in their activity. They are not condemning lesbians at the lesbians property, but some people will probably try to picket the school on the school's property, infringing on the school's rights.
