Carla Hale, a teacher in Clintonville, Ohio, was fired just days after an anonymous parent informed the school that her partner's name had appeared in her mother's obituary. Update- April 24, Hale's grievance has been denied.

Sorry, this is how it has to be. Why? Because homosexuals within the Church caused a scandal for 40-odd years and continue to persecute Catholics today. Had she been a Mason, I’d feel the same way. Such folks should not be allowed around Catholic kids.

You’re obviously on the wrong website.

Maybe the wrong thread. Next time I'll just watch the hypocrisy and keep quiet.

Hale, a practicing Methodist, said she also hopes the reaction to her dismissal spurs Catholic leaders to reconsider their stance on gay relationships.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Comparing personnel decisions made regarding a priest and a lay employee of another faith would seem logically to involve a double standard.

Indeed. Jesus told that woman to “Go and sin no more”.

So the football team can win State every year?

What makes this funny is it true. I coached select BBall and a lot of the players went to the Catholic School to play. When the economy crashed and the Catholic school lost attendance and 4A status, it had to play 3a which is not as competitive. After losing 4A, it was amazing how many families did not want a Catholic education...

The school is just telling this woman to Go, they should also make sure to add the Sin No More part

Why would your son pick up “gay vibes” from lesbians?

[GeronL]

because gays recruit, they make it their mission to indoctrinate and desensitize the youth. For gay males, being molested as a child is the #1 recruitment method

She wasn't fired for being Methodist. Are you saying the double standard is justified because one if Catholic and one is not?

[tnlibertarian]

Hmmm ... what's the dot?

It's a period.

I have full confidence that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus would fire any teacher that it found had been divorced.

Unlikely. A Catholic teacher who divorced and remarried without an annulment, perhaps.

[WashingtonSource]

Good grief. How could anyone doubt this is a bull dagger dyke-on-a-bike?

[Dexter Morgan]

It’s hard to describe any normal, healthy relationship anymore because all the words to describe these relationships have been hijacked by double entendre meanings.

Companion
Friend
Best Friend
Roommate
Partner
Buddy

Sixth and Eighth and perhaps the Seventh if she violated a morals clause in a contract that she willingly signed.

[stuartcr]

I’m sure

[stuartcr]

yes, of course

[dfwgator]

Lesbian by default.

[dfwgator]

Yep he’s in the great “Invisible Boatmobile In the Sky.”

[petitfour]

Go and sin no more. And put the stones down.
