---In April 2009, she asked for for maternity leave for FALL 2009








Do you not understand the defintiion of conceived? Conceived is when she got pregnant, not when she delivered the baby!
Excuse me....yes, I had read the article and already closed the page whenI when I replied.....I thought I had read she delivered 3 weeks before her wedding.

As for you, you need to watch how you talk to people....after you posted MsMcQ LV pointed the same thing out to me but, didn't sound like a 16 high school brat when he/she did it.

I have an IQ of 155....134 on the one that tops out at 140......if you want to match wits with me, I'll be more than happy to anytime.

Even if the school is within it's legal rights here it makes them look backward.

Does someone having sex with their future spouse a few weeks before their wedding really bother people? If so, how does it impact or affect you in any way? **** and mind your own business!

Guys like this principal who are obsessed with what others are doing behind closed doors always, ALWAYS ALWAYS have deep seated sexual inadaquacies or issues. 100% guarunteed that this guy is upset over lack of attention from the opposite sex, has a small weiner, has guilt issues... something is wrong with him. 100% take it to the bank. It's similar to the anti gay types. nearly all of them get outed as gay themselves sooner or later.

It's people like the principal in this case that has basically turned me away from organized religion.

It really depends on how the morality clause is written and/or whether it is enforceable by law. (Not ALL employment clauses are enforceable or legal.) Every state has different laws. Really, with the minuscule amount of facts laid out here, even an employment lawyer couldn't say whether or not she has a case, but she may well have one.

I agree they were likely trying not to pay the leave/adjust for it and/or there were other issues. I mean, the lady had sex three weeks before the wedding. They could've just not asked any questions and let it pass. Babies are born at 8 months all the time. Why ask such personal questions?

Either way, the school seems silly. Also: Notifying others is blatantly stupid, from an HR/legal perspective. The more you say, the more you invite a lawsuit.

Unfortunately this logic is as twisted as the assertions it supports. By this logic 52% of the people in California that supported proposition 8 are Gays that want to be married. Ludicrous

Yes he can. However, that does not mean his actions won't bring a civil suit.

The fundamentalist Christians of this country need to choose a few states to live in and secede from the rest of the union.
Every Human Being on earth is hypocritical. It is a private business. In America they can fire anyone they want for breech of contract.

This is so, so, so, so, so not true. Employment law is WAY more complex than that, even in "Right to Work" states.

Unless you mean "Can" as in "Can, but while inviting legal actions and damage suits that might bring about bankruptcy or hardship for the school."

That said, it really depends, as I mentioned. But employees who are in any way mistreated should never think, "Oh, well, it's a private business, I have no rights."

Didn't she have an ethics clause in her employment contract? She signed the contract and didn't live up to her end. I personally don't agree with it but a deal is a deal.

Professional athletes have these types of clauses in their contracts, rarely enforced they are there.
