Some Catholic parents in Kansas are troubled by a school’s decision to reject the child of a same-sex couple ― while allowing children of non-Catholics and others in relationships not approved by the church to be admitted to the institution.

The petition has reportedly been circulating among parents in a Google document since last month, CBS-affiliate KCTV5 reported. The signatures reportedly include a significant number of parishioners at St. Ann’s and from more than 20 other parishes in the region.
