Whitefield Academy is a private Christian school in the Highview area of Louisville, Kentucky that was founded in 1976 as Highview Baptist Christian School, and originally taught students grades K-8.
[1] In January 2020, the school gained national attention when it allegedly expelled a 15-year-old student because of a picture posted on social media, in which student was wearing a rainbow sweater and posing with a rainbow-colored birthday cake.
The school claimed the picture is the latest in two years' worth of "lifestyle violations" by the student and also said the picture "demonstrates a posture of morality and cultural acceptance contrary to that of Whitefield Academy's beliefs.
"[2][a] Whitefield Academy defended its position to expel students who may go against its religious beliefs because of exemptions for faith-based schools in Louisville's Fairness Ordinance.
