<p>Five girl's lives have been damaged due to the final decision Marist High school has put forth. The administration at Marist acted on the situation quickly and wrongly not even knowing the poor image it had just created for itself. These highly intelligent young women made a horrible mistake that they wish they had never made. However, Marist High School is a private, catholic institution whose ongoing slogan is "Brothers and Sisters for life". Being a catholic school, we are often taught to forgive those who sin. " 'For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others for their sins, your father will not forgive your sins' (Matt. 6:14-15)." As a student body we understand that this was not an easy decision to make, however, we also believe that the actions that were taken were wrong, not only in the eyes of the people, but our Lord as well. Parents throughout the Marist community have spent thousands of dollars because they believe in "The Marist Way" and it's reputation. That reputation is now gone in the eyes of many. Please take into account these five girls and their families and sign this petition!</p><p>Thank you for your time and generosity.</p><p> </p>
