Colorado Springs being the home base of a veritable compound that even has it's own freeway exit, Focus on the Family. I'd heard of and had some remote experiences with that group's pseudo-religious zealotry.
I saw a bumper sticker that made me have to pull over before continuing to drive because I was laughing so hard: it read "Focus on Your Own Damn Family".
Good for the school and Kelly Services to do the right thing. I'll bet this boy will finally have a loving home, and likely a far better start at young adulthood than the likes of Ms. Substitute Bigot allowed me many 5 decades ago when her obstinately biased rant would have been supported.
