Backers rally for fired gay teacher: She says Catholic school was told of her female partner

[DustyMoment]

Y’know, back before education became a jobs program for liberals, you didn’t hear about all these problems with “teachers”.

Funny how everything liberals touch turns to trash, isn’t it?

[laweeks]

You know, it’s a shame that the work “partner” has now been turned into dirt meaning a sodomite’s partner. Disgusting. It used to mean a close friend . . . but now it’s a filthy term . . . thank you sodomites!

[11th Commandment]

I think the school should kick-out of the school any family that signed the petition to keep this teacher. Why attend a Catholic School when you do not support the teachings of the Catholic Church.

[OKRA2012]

Wait a minute!

Hang on!

Could we really be living is a world where we have lesbian PE teachers?

I’m Stunned!

So the football team can win State every year?

[Enduro Guy]

I wish they’d just use ‘homosexual lover’. The words ‘queer’, ‘gay’ & ‘partner’ now have had their original definitions completely twisted over the years...

This is hugh! And series!

My (straight) son attended Bishop Watterson High School and remembers her fondly.

He said there were no “gay vibes” towards anyone and was a kind, respectful gym teacher.

And why is some a-hole reading an obit and filing a complaint?

While most Freepers would disagree, this is a bad story for the Catholic school. Particularly since I remember some of the nasty teachers at Watterson. Hale was one of the nice ones.

That’s a guy.

So it's on to the Federal courts for reinstatement and a million dollar punitive award.

[shibumi]

I’m sure its partner thinks so.

[Gay State Conservative]

I could never be crazy enough...or get drunk enough...to want to get with 100 yards of that pig.

The fact that she was so discreet the only way she was outed was by an obscure reference in obituary. Then fired?. I’m not comfortable with churches, employers or government peeping into people’s private life. Once they start you could be next.

[TheGunny]

Ok, how nice she was is relevant why?

[Gay State Conservative]

While most Freepers would disagree, this is a bad story for the Catholic school.

It's bad for the Catholic Church only if the 6th Commandment is bad for Christianity,

Ernest Borgnine?

Think Donner Party.
