Lesbian Teacher in Ohio Fired

[Haydenish People]

Did I mention I live near Columbus? It's the top story on the local news here, and the petition to give her her job back has 52,000 signatures. By the way, the reason she was fired was ridiculous. She apparently publicized her relationship with her partner in her mother's obituary.

*sigh* This is sad, really.. Giver her her bloody job back ffs

You know, seriously, I have issues with the idea of religious organisations breaching anti-discrimination legislation, like they do out here.

But, seriously, you're a lesbian. In a Catholic school. Of course once it gets out, they aren't going to be stoked.

She's lucky she got the job in the first place.

Here, you have to sign lifestyle statements affirming your belief in marriage as one man-one woman. And have a pastor's reference confirming your regular church attendance to even get an interview at most religious private schools.

It's possible that there are certain conditions of employment that may be contractual. Conditions such as not being allowed to live contrary to the teachings of the church. Remember that I said it was possible, I'm just speculating. Also, I think it's bullshit that they would be allowed to do that.

There was a teacher in my Catholic school who was fired for getting pregnant before she was married.

They had to protect the kids from gayphoid Carla.

(R)Amen.

[Disserbia]

What the fuck? Columbus seemed pretty liberal to me.

[Horrible Big Government Socialism]

What the fuck? Columbus seemed pretty liberal to me.

And yet, unsurprisingly, the Catholic Church is not.

That should not matter in this case though.

Yeah - we have plenty of that here. Religious organisations, including schools, are exempt from anti-discrimination legislation.

Makes getting a job really fucking hard.

So her mother dies AND she gets fired?

This woman needs all my hugs, and a tasty lawsuit.

[Imsogone]

Well, sadly it is to be expected of Catholic schools.

Once again, they have failed the Emperor.

What's ironic here is that my sister taught at Moreau High School in the bay area. She was a divorced, openly practicing witch living with a man who was 19 years younger than she was who, though she was not married to him, she called her husband. They not only didn't fire her, they gave her raises and promotions.

So let me get this right... they didn't fire her for being a lesbian but for having a lesbian relationship? Does the law make a distinction for this because if so they better close that loophole fast...

Ohio is a shit state anyway.

not this time unfortunately...

They reasoned she'd literally do anything to grab headlines?

Ohio is fucked up some, isn't it?

[New Libertarian States]

Well, obviously, its her fault for being an unnatural lesbian.



Obviously.

Obivously.

(R)Amen.

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

But she's a ebul lesberian.

And we can't let them have jobs or then we have to hire children and corpses and inanimate objects.

If she had molested a boy or girl they'd have quietly transferred her to another school instead.

[Gandoor]

I hope whoever fired her either loses their job or get's their asses sued.

My pet rock works pretty well.
RIGHTS FOR ROCKS!
*begins rioting*

[Regnum Dominae]

Fuck you, Catholicism.

The infamous slippery slope to folding chairs teaching our children.
