here's one of the "issues" listed on their site.... (I was also following this story before I hauled ass outta Cali)

GIRL ALLOWED BACK IN SCHOOL, MOM QUITS
SACRAMENTO, CA -- A Christian school that expelled a kindergartner because her mother worked as a stripper decided to let the girl return to school for the last three weeks of classes.
Christina Silvas, 24, agreed to stop working at Gold Club Centerfolds during that time. She said she will explore several job offers made by local businesses after her plight became national news.
Silvas' 5-year-old daughter was expelled last week from Capital Christian School, which is run by the 4,000-member Capital Christian Center, one of the country's largest Assemblies of God churches.
At enrollment, students' parents must sign a document stating they agree with the church's "Christian Commitment/Philosophy," which requires weekly church attendance and stipulates "a Christian learning structure that involves the entire family."
Silvas said her daughter won't return to Capital Christian for first grade.
"I want to find a school less concerned with image and more concerned with the welfare of children," she said.

now, while I agree that what that school did was fucked up.... someone please help me understand how this is a free speech case.
cuz I don't get it.... they kicked her kid out because they didn't like the fact that she was a stripper. How does that violate the first amendment?
