Being a teacher isn't a relgious job no matter what kind of school it is.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Its right for a Catholic school to be able to determine that its teachers not embody things that they are saying is wrong (ie, sex before marriage).
And they are a private school and are not firing someone based on race or gender (no matter what the ACLU says, this REALLY streaches the 'discrimination based on gender' idea). A lot of relgious jobs have a morals clause and this is no different.
For example, if this woman was a nun and she became pregnant, would people really be mad if the nunnery said get out?
The example with the nun is far out - being a nun isn't a profession as such - it's more a membership of a rather special club.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Since it's not a public school, nothing wrong. The parents (whose best interests the principal represents) have a right to decide what kind of teachers educate their children in a private school.Comment

Imran,
I'm guessing it's breach of contract? Surely a Catholic school would have this type of thing covered when employing people?Comment

Such a contract would be illegal here - I guess that it will too in US.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I believe the standard Catholic practice is have employees sign that they'll live by Catholic moral standards. That would include not becoming unmarriedly pregnant.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

As I said - such a demand would be illegal - some private danish schools has their asses burned currently because they tried to filter out homsexual teachers when hiring.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Thats why I'm asking Imran (a Yank who's passed the bar exam) rather than a random Danish bloke.

I don't know whether a such demand would pass here, but given a recent case in which the judges found that refusing to hire short people (under 163cm) for positions that posed much greater health hazards to shorties than to taller folks was gender discrimination, I'd not be optimistic.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

I'm just as curious as you what Imran will say - I just told about how we do things wich probably differs when we talk religious matters

And I suppose she had sex with her husband as per church policy also.she, apparently, wasn't using a condom per church policy and wasn't going to have an abortion per church policy.
Private organisations are allowed to maintain their standards, particularly regarding situations like this one. If we believe that the Catholic church should sack priests who violate their vows, why should they treat their other employees any differently?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
