A girl who attended a private religious school was very upset that she was not chosen to play on the soccer team, even though she had been considered a star player at her previous school. Her mother filed a complaint in federal court alleging that the school and its principal had deprived the girl of her rights through state action under color of state law under 42 US Code section 1983. She attached extensive documentation showing the girl's star status as a soccer player and the religious school's insistence that the girl not be allowed to play. The principal and the school filed a 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. Should the school's motion be granted?
A、Yes, because a private school cannot commit state action.
B、Yes, because the girl's claim would be moot by the time it was tried.
C、No, because the girl's mother included documentation of her claim.
D、No, because the parties should be allowed to go through discovery so that they can better develop their claims.
