"Carla Hale of Powell, who worked at Bishop Watterson High School in Clintonville for 19 years, said she was fired in March after an anonymous parent complained that an obituary for Hale’s mother listed the name of Hale’s female domestic partner...her March 28 dismissal notice refers specifically to her relationship as the basis for her termination."
Has a familar ring to it..remember the single woman who became pregnant and got fired from a Catholic school ?
If they signed a contract regarding the beliefs of the Catholic Church and to uphold them then they don't have a leg to stand on.
A private religious school has just as much rights as a public school.
And usually following the teachings of the religion are stipulated in their contracts.
Except that the city has an anti-discrimination ordinance that covers sexual orientation. She very much has a leg to stand on.
Their Catholic hypocrites so what do you expect. Appearances has always been more important the facts to these bureaucrats. Just look at the way they fire gay teachers and cover up pedophile priests. Gay and straight pedophile priests.
I support the right for gays to marry. I quickly dismissed the argument that tried to link pedophilia with gay marriage. That said, personal opinions don't hold much sway here.
A public school can fire a teacher for not leaving their personal life at the front doors of the school. We recently had an example of a teacher that was fired for giving a student a bible. People don't want to understand that our rights go both ways.
That our rights allow for things you might find distasteful but the alternative IMO is even more distasteful. This will be allowed to stand.
She did leave her personal life at the door. A parent showed the obit to the school administrators.
So can I work for the Jewish anti defamation league and belong to the American Nazi Party on the side then and not expect to be fired then?
If the ANP had an opening for an office assistant, then the ANP could screen the applicants to choose one to their liking, but if the ANP was shown to discriminate on a consititant basis, then a EEOIC complaint could be filed against them. Political views are not a protected group.
