In October, Teri James says her supervisor at San Diego Christian College called her to her office and got straight to the point: Was James pregnant? James, 29, of El Cajon, Calif., was indeed pregnant – and she was also unmarried, a violation of school rules, according to the lawsuit she filed in San Diego County superior court. She says she was fired because, as the termination letter included in the suit stated: “Teri engaged in activity outside the scope of the Handbook and Community Covenant that does not build up the college’s mission.”

good for them.
Well,she just won the lottery.
And the school is with in their right to fire her.
The teacher gets fired and there is nothing she can do about it. As it should be. The school was right to take that action.
This.... this piece of info was a little different:
Also insulting, James said, was that after firing her, the school offered a job to her then-fiancé – they are now married – even though it was known that he, too, engaged in premarital sex. He did not accept the job, she said.All Righty Then.
Every employer has rules.
If you don’t like rules, quit and get an 0bamaphone and an EBT card.
No rules.
Well,she just won the lottery.

Well, No she didn’t.
Read the article. Read dozens of similar articles. This is not the first time this has happened. And in all cases, the courts rule with the school.
(Or were you thining this was a PUBLIC school?)

bump
Big difference ... I bet her fiance' wasn't pregnant.
“...a two-page contract that asks its community, which includes employees and about 500 students on-site, to abstain from drugs, alcohol and tobacco and “abusive anger, malice, jealousy, lust, sexually immoral behavior including premarital sex, adultery, pornography and homosexuality, evil desires and prejudice based on race, sex or socioeconomic status.”
She signed a document stating that she would not have sex, smoke or use drugs and she violated that contract.
She and other employees could also be fired for drinking, smoking or having premarital sex.
If this is true, this school has no one but themselves to blame for getting sued:

It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that he intentionally applied for some job he was over qualified for without telling them who he was, just so he could reject their offer just to accuse them of being hypocrites.
I’ll bet he had something to do with the pregnancy though.
Goes with the territory. She should have known that going in to the position.
I mean going into the job.
I mean by taking employment.
I mean - oh well you know what I mean.
It’s a private institution, a private education institution, and they have a right to set what they think are moral standards they expect to see their employees hold themselves to; the right to communicate those standards as a condition of employment and a right to fire employees if they are not met. End of story. It’s not “unconstitutional discrimination”; it’s constitutional discrimination.
I see the offering of a job to the fiance as a very Christian thing to do. They are attempting to help this couple establish themselves in marriage by providing them the financial security of a job. The gesture is not intended to suggest a double standard. Many Christian schools do not allow pregnant married women to continue to teach after their child arrives. They promote the idea of the mother being home to care for her children at least until they reach a certain age.
What? I guess in your world, sex is a vice and nobody ever enjoys it unless they are married.
The truth is, everyone enjoys it until they are married. Then, it somehow changes.
maybe not - could be he has good friends and she’s a friendly person
No, you’re wrong. It’s a private school and as long as they don’t take money from the federal govt they can maintain standards of morality. And, good for them.
The rules state nothing about wether or not one has had premarital sex before their employ, just to refrain from it after. That in and of itself is very Christian, offering a chance for redemption from previous sin with the understanding of repententance of that sin.
