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.

Ok, how nice she was is relevant why?

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

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

That’s very touching, but the fact remains that homosexuality is an abomination to God. She has no place in a Catholic school I’m afraid.

Apparently I've stumbled into one of those FR threads full of Freepers who are without sin.

I know I have no business here. I'll be over at the naughty teacher thread with Laz leering at bewbs.

I agree. Catholic school should have let it slide and told her not to mention her partner again. I’m sure it was known she is gay/lesbian/what have you. But it’s the Catholic Church’s business not mine. They might get sued despite everything

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.

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

IIRC, the Catholic Church just went through a crapstorm, with disastrous costs, for allowing gay priests around children. Now you want this school to make an emotion-based exception to the rule for a gay woman, and involve the civil government into the mess, potentially having a secular court overrule the Church where it tries to limit the expression of gay behavior among its faculty?

Whose side are you on? She flouted the "don't tell" rule.

You like her personally; so send her a bouquet; find her another job; but leave your Church to do what it has to do. Unless, of course, like her, you don't believe the Church has a right to its own values, and the secular Marxist courts should be able to make an evil precedent out of this case.
