Lesbian Teacher in Ohio Fired

[Imsogone]

Well? She worked 19 years for the school. A small blurb in the paper about her mother's death mentioned it. She get's tossed.

So yes that's pretty fucking stupid.

I say they should have never hired her in the first place, and am just glad that they fired her.

You're a bigot. You're fired.

Inb4 'but it's Freedom of Religion!'

What if I told you

Freedom of religion has nothing to do with this.

Then I would inform you that you are stupid. CATHOLIC SCHOOL! Also meaning it is private and the government can not enforce the rule of allowing a homosexual to teach.

Well? He has to defend the Priests. She could have cut in on their dating possibilities.

That passage does not mention the jews specifically, it was badly misinterpreted.

When looking at the context of Matthew’s Gospel (specifically, chapters 26 and 27) it is quite obvious that the entire Jewish race was not totally responsible for having Jesus crucified. Matthew 26 and 27 informs the reader that one individual and three distinct groups were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. They are Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus into the hands of the Jewish authorities (Matt. 26:14–16; 47–50); the Jewish leaders. This group was made up of Caiphas the High Priest, the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. They united to form the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem which tried Jesus on the charge of blasphemy (Matt. 26:47, 57–67; 27:1–2, 5, 18, 25); the Romans, comprised of the Procurator Pontius Pilate who handed Jesus over to be crucified and the Roman soldiers who actually nailed Jesus to the cross (Matt. 27:11–37); the Jewish mob of Jerusalem. Though their role in Matthew 27 seems passive and subordinated under the control and influence of the chief priests and elders, their guilt in the death of Christ cannot be overlooked. They had the opportunity afforded them by Pilate to have Jesus released, but they chose instead a criminal named Barabbas

Ah? So the infallible Catholic Church was wrong for 1600 years?

Good to know.

I never mentioned the catholic church was "Infallible", far from it.

I'm curious as to whether the school believes that only single people should teach children, and have fired any other, heterosexual teachers in the past for having their relationships publicized. Otherwise, the statements "we didn't fire her because she was a lesbian" and "we fired her because her relationship was publicized" do not compute.

Then I would inform you that you are stupid. CATHOLIC SCHOOL! Also meaning it is private and the government can not enforce the rule of allowing a homosexual to teach.

If they are getting Federal or State funding for any reason, then they have to comply with Federal and State rule. As I understand it parochial schools do get such funding.

[Greed and Death]

Best of luck to her in finding another job, and in the lawsuit if she decides to pursue one.

Not really a cause of action, Ohio bans such discrimination in government employment only.

And which rule forbids this ?

Oh? So they're wrong about that too?

You're not doing a very good job of painting them as superior to any other denomination.

You bring up a good point, the church could fire her for premartial sex.

Once again you misinterpret my argument and replace my words with dribble you can use to further your own agenda. I'm not trying to make them sound superior (After all I'm eastern orthodox and studying to be in the clergy of the eastern orthodox church), I'm simply defending their freedom of religion and their right to not have to deal with those who wish to defy their rules when they are in their employment.

Freedom of religion covers EVERYONE, not just your own personal viewpoint.

When I disagreed with the practices of the evangelical church among others, I may disagree with that, but since they are a religious instutution and we have the first amendment, they may do whatever they please, and I cannot (and WILL NOT, out of respect and as a patriotic citizen) do anything to infringe on that.

Really, anytime someone gloats over another's misfortune, it is in poor taste.

That a Christian is doing it is delightful hypocrisy. Though, I suppose in keeping with some of the more sinister Church Fathers.

[Lyassa and Nairoa]

Really ? that´s terrible. I know, I know... I´ve said stuff about SSM and adoption that sounds awful to you ..but that´s appalling. Even I think it is.

Certain ones do but I don't think this is one of them.

Ah, you seemed to be arguing otherwise. It did seem an odd choice of flag...

Regardless, Hagiography disproves your assertion. And, of course, the Orthodox Church can make no honest claim to not playing politics either.

I'm just pointing out that any private organization that receives government funding is bound to obey relevant government regulations. And just because it's a "private" school doesn't mean it's exempt from the law.

A Christian doing it in defense of Christianity. I've been thinking about this and in a way, this is a good thing. It points up, once again, how hidebound and inflexible religious institutions can be. The public needs to be shown that from time to time, lest they forget.

You bring up a good point, the church could fire her for premartial sex.

Then there would be few choices left to teach.

You could go to the Nuns and Priests but even then those numbers would drop.

Could you fire a Priest or non for premarital sex?

It is not Bigotry. I disagree with the Catholics on actually firing her but as a private school they have that right.

Indeed.

Similarly, in someways, I wish Aztec Paganism were still a practiced thing. It would be terrible and genocidal, of course, but at least it would free people of this notion that, "religion practiced properly is always peaceful."

I clap sarcastically.

I wasn't even thinking premarital sex, I was thinking that they might want teachers who are both chaste and celibate, because technically the act of having sex is a sin whether to produce offspring or not. The having children part is what makes it tolerable rather than outright banned.

Possibly yes they could. They could certainly kick them out of teh church.
