I agree and I’m not saying it makes sense to rationale people but objectively in this case, the optics hold water. This is a fundamentalist Catholic school with nuns. The teacher was unmarried and was also pregnant. The optics of an unwed pregnant teacher, teaching kids whose parents put them in a Fundy school where pre-marital sex is an explicit no-no does put the staff in a very awkward position.
The awkward position of their evil patriarchial cannibal death cult beliefs being exposed?
Papists shouldn’t be allowed to run schools. No religion should.
As I said, I agree completely. But the teacher was hired into that environment and knowingly signed a puritanesque ethics clause and broke it. That’s why the case was upheld ultimately.
So what? Just because you put something down in a piece of paper doesn’t mean it should be legal.
Fuck their awkward position
