Students said it was known or suspected that Hale was gay, but she did not discuss her lifestyle with students or espouse same-sex issues.
The world's largest cult can't trust a "suspected" lesbian to educate after 19 years of apparently doing a good job at it, yet happily covers up the criminal shenanigans of its sorcerers.

Although unfortunate, these events just advertise what a sham the whole operation is.

Not saying you're wrong, however, can I get some links that attest to this? Mainly for future arguments, as this -is- the first i''m hearing of that.

Yes. Just like they stood by their pedophile priests. What a shining example of Catholic morals and ethics!

One reason not to support school vouchers for parochial schools. Bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry.

It is a private school.

They can make their own personnel decisions.

What is the problem?

The school has an obligation to maintain a standard of morality in their faculty.

How is that disgusting?

Hope she sues them.
She knew what the schools policy was and she violated that policy.

That is inappropriate.

I don't recall dodgeball or calisthenics mentioned in the bible.
As I noted, it will not be difficult for a Catholic school to argue that ministering to students includes their physical health.

Nazism is neither a race, sex, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation.
A religious school usually has a different contract where you state that you live according to the teachings of the Bible (or something along those lines).

You agree to that and sign.

There was a recent case in which a office assistant that doubled as a sunday school teacher was labled as a "teacher" and as such could not sue the school for what ever damage[I dont remember all the priticulars of the case] she was seeking. Being classified as a teacher made her ineligible to sue for damamges.
