Louisiana child kicked out of class because parents are same-sex couple

A Louisiana five-year-old was allegedly forced out of her kindergarten class at a religious school because her parents are a same-sex couple.

Emily Parker, 28, said that the meeting took place only two days before the school year started. During the conference, she and her wife also were told that, as a religious-based school, the school would teach students that marriage was between a man and a woman.

Zoey had previously attended pre-school at Bible Baptist Academy, where, the couple told NBC News, Zoey had many friends and teachers she liked.

The couple also said they have received several offers from other local Christian schools for Zoey to start her kindergarten year.
