DAYTON, Ohio — An unmarried Catholic school teacher who said she was fired after telling her principal that she was pregnant is suing the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
It's the second lawsuit that's been filed in the last two years against archdiocese over the firing of a pregnant teacher.
Kathleen Quinlan, who taught first grade at Ascension Catholic School in Kettering in suburban Dayton, said she was told to resign or she would be fired, on the same day she told the school's principal in December 2011 that she was expecting. She said she had offered to take a behind-the-scenes job until she gave birth.
Quinlan, of Dayton, who later had twin girls, said in her lawsuit that she was given three days to clear out her classroom.
A termination letter said she was fired for violating a section of her employment contract that requires employees to "comply with and act consistently in accordance with the stated philosophy and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church," according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court .
Her attorney said that, "as a non-ministerial employee, (she) was not subject to a 'morality clause.'"

IANAL. However, I believe a contract stipulating that one must not sell a residence based on the buyer’s race would be an illegal agreement under contract law and thus not not enforceable by the courts.
In employer-funded insurance plans, the employer pays the individual claims and has access to the specific procedures, drugs, etc. Legally under HIPAA, the employer is supposed to firewall that data from other employer functions, such as payroll and HR, but they don’t always do so.
Yes. Victory is ours because He lives!
