Teacher to sue after she is fired over premarital sex

Uh-oh.

"Jarretta was asked not to return because of a moral issue that was disregarded, namely fornication, sex outside of marriage," the letter reads. "The employment application, which she filled out, clearly states that as a leader before our students we require all teachers to maintain and communicate the values and purpose of our school."

The letter declares that sex outside of marriage is immoral and that other pregnant teachers have been able to remain employed with the school because they conceived within marriage.

"We request that Jarretta withdraw her complaint and consider the testimony of the Lord," closed the letter.

She should have just said it was the honeymoon night. Close enough.

It’s right wing extremism to the core. This is the kind of BS that turns people off from the party.

Excuse me Mary, when did you conceive that child?

Oh please enlighten us as to what “christian” principal was upheld here.

The biblical injunction against fornication, ya think? Seriously, dude, this isn't rocket surgery...

Really wish these institutions acted so swiftly when their teachers are caught screwing around with their students.

Haven't heard of that sort of thing being slowballed in one of these Christian schools. I think you're thinking of the public schools.

It is no ones business period. I am tired of man acting like god and being the decider and judge. Rediculous. No ones business what goes on in the bedroom unless it is illegal, with a minor, or someone’s life was in danger.

It is so unfair that people can count to nine months. Ban calendars and arrest people who teach that evil disgusting skill of counting so people can keep unwed pregnancy a secret..

The statement in bold, I will point out is an absolute and unavoidable requirement to achieve what you posted. Private medical information indeed.

[Professional]

How judgemental of them...

[Izzy Dunne]

Glad to see a school, Christian or otherwise, stand up for what is right.

So, it's right that they told the parents of her students that she did this?

Who benefits from that?

[MissEdie]

Hey Jaretta, file this one under “to bad, so sad”.

Dude, I know - actually having principles and sticking by them, drives people away, we'll never get anywhere with that.

Moron.

[Stayfrosty]

sounds christian-talibanish to me.

It’s right wing extremism to the core. This is the kind of BS that turns people off from the party.

And Christianity.

So she signed the contract AFTER she was pregnant. HMMM

One of my cousins was born 6.5 months after aunt & uncle were married. Aunt always maintained he was “premature.” I prefer to think he had a front row seat at his parents’ wedding. 8~D

[Stayfrosty]

and I’m sure you have never had premarital sex yourself. *rolls my eyes* get a life.

[pnh102]

So what exactly is the moral lesson here, abort before anyone finds out?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ban calendars and arrest people who teach that evil disgusting skill of counting so people can keep unwed pregnancy a secret..

Three weeks ain't countable.

She could easily have said she was pure as the driven snow when she got married, and no mathematics could have proved otherwise.

All I'm saying is that there are laws against revealing medical information, and this would count.
