I don’t see how HIPPA was involved.
It seems the school got the information from her, not any confidential records.
If a guy has one arm, it doesn’t violate HIPPA for one’s employer to state that it was amputated.
Classless? No doubt. I’d defend the woman and attack the school until the lawyers get involved. It’s not against the law to be a jerk.
I go to a Christian school. My daughters’ favorite teacher is a young engaged woman. If she had a baby 8 months after she got married, I wouldn’t even think anything about it. If my daughters’ asked about it, then I would remind them that they were born a month early as was their brother.
I should say “My kids go to a Christian school.”
Wow ... That comment perfectly describes most "religious" disputes on this forum.
No. Concieving and raising children is a joyful normal part of life. it is not something shameful within the bounds of marriage. Children are a gift from God. Why would parents not be extatic and wish to share their joy?
This is something celebrated in the Christian culture I grew up in.
It’s a discrimination suit. Here’s what her blood sucking attorney had to say about the suit:
“If they’re going to single her out because she conceived prior to marriage, but allow people to remain employed who conceived during a marriage, isn’t that discriminating against her based on her marital status?” asked Gay, according to MyFoxOrlando.com.
She will lose.
A medical condition is defined as a disease, illness, or injury. Unless you are male, being pregnant in itself is not a medical condition, but pregnancy complications are medical conditions. Words have meanings.
LOL out loud.
you better be sure of your story. Titus there might have to verify it and make sure you are within biblical regulations.
Excuse me Mary, when did you conceive that child?
Ding ding, WINNER
Don’t worry everyone, when the muslims take over, they will straighten out all our errant ways.
So you’re in school as well as your daughter? Are the two of you in the same class?
The way you wish to handle such issues is your prerogative. And the rules and regulations of this Christian school is their prerogative and rights as a private educational institution.
You took a wrong turn on your way between Daily KOS and DU, newby.
The fact that the GOP ignores traditional values drove conservatives away from the party.
I agree with you, Reeses. When I was pregnant I didn’t consider it a “condition”.
Would it have been public if she hadn't sued?
This case has two parts in all actuality:
On the job issue, the School wins, it is a private employer and she signed a morals clause. She violated the clause and it was within their rights to fire her.
However, the School violated HIPAA laws when it revealed private medical information and the reason for her firing. For that they should be held liable for her defamation and be held criminally for violating the law.
I was going to say the same thing. She should never have answered the question. I’m sure that they asked because she asked for maternity leave too early. She should just have given the nine months date and worked as long as she could. No one would have been able to say a word.
Ding Ding, LOSER! Mary did not have pre-marital sex.
Are you suggesting the Biblical account is not true? Was Jesus conceived through the Holy Spirit or was Mary fornicating before marriage?
Evidently she wouldn’t be allowed to teach at that school, either...
