Why would it be?

What message does this send to the young women in the school?

Erm, how would she have hidden being pregnant?

**Pekka** · November 25, 2005, 19:35

tough to say. Of course, normally, this would be idiotic but this would be special case. I say, since it's private school, the private school rules go.

Is it right or wrong, I don't know. But the rules apply IMO.

**reds4ever** · November 25, 2005, 19:43

Easy to say Pekka, it's a Catholic school so it's Catholic rules!!

I don't see any problem with them sacking her?

BTW I'm an athiest.

you know you didn't get +1 for repeating what I just said?

**reds4ever** · November 25, 2005, 19:47

Not in Off-Topic.......

You did say 'tough decision' though....it's not IMHO. Easy pick!!

For example, if this woman was a nun and she became pregnant, would people really be mad if the nunnery said get out?

Well, it would be historically amusing, as becoming pregnant while not married was historically a common reason for being forced to enter a nunnery.

but on another level I find it repulsive that an employer could fire an employee for being pregnant.

That'll teach you breeders.

And I suppose she had sex with her husband as per church policy also.

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?

Priests isn't common employees.

Wow this is wonderful to read, This woman teacher gets pregnant with out a husband and is fired, and i another school a public school a man is arrested for exposing him self to an undercover cop in a park and is merely suspended till the outcome of his trial. What hell has happened to our priorities.. Best get the Ester prinn *itch out of ours schools, but by all means lets just suspend the pedophile so he can hire a fancy lawyer get off and get back to teaching our young children

**Pekka** · November 25, 2005, 21:22

young children? Children are by definition young.. why would you say young children instead of youth or children?

**Kuciwalker** · November 25, 2005, 21:23

Your point being completely inane, of course, because they are two completely different school systems.

**chequita guevara** · November 25, 2005, 21:36

He exposed himself to an undercover cop and is a pediphile? Is Texas so short on cops that they're recruiting children now?

As for the religious school, as its a religious institution, as long as it takes no money from the government (i.e. those vouchers conservatives love), it doesn't have to obey certain employment laws. On the other hand, if it takes said money, it does.

Are you really saying that phedophily is ok as long as it happens in private schools ?

**Kuciwalker** · November 25, 2005, 21:38

No, that the private school may also care about pedophilia - we don't know how they prioritize it.
