Science teacher and volleyball coach Cathy Samford has been fired by a private school in Rockwall, WFAA-TV is reporting.
“I looked it up and thought, ‘They can’t do this,’ ” Samford told the Dallas station of the action by Heritage Christian Academy, where she’d coached almost three years and recently began teaching science.
When she got pregnant, the school fired her because she wasn’t married, WFAA says. The school says it has the right to do that.
Since the academy is a private, religious campus, its headmaster, Dr. Ron Taylor, told the station it can impose standards of conduct.
“The Supreme Court … has ruled 9-to-0 that a Christian school does have that right, because this is a ministry,” WFAA quotes Taylor as saying.
Now this is what I don't get for those who want to make people have kids against their will. I must say that I am not pro-abortion rather I am pre-do-whatever-you-have-to-do-to-not-get- pregnant.
The pro-lifers want all babies to be born ..yet we have a pro-life insitution punishing this woman for doing what they want. it's ironic that she could have chosen to have an abortion and would have been able to keep her job yet she chose against it and lost her job.
Dumb thread. Stupid premise.
I think the point was that she should have had the kid and gotten married.
what part of the premise.. the part where a pro-life ins ution is punishing her for keeping the baby..or the part where if she would have had an abortion she could have kept her job.. I know it's impossible to defend so I would walk away as well..

They're punishing her for having a baby out of wedlock. Your dichotomy of have baby/kill baby ignores the key issue -- she wasn't married.what part of the premise.. the part where a pro-life ins ution is punishing her for keeping the baby..or the part where if she would have had an abortion she could have kept her job.. I know it's impossible to defend so I would walk away as well..
If the school found out she had an abortion they'd fire her for that too. The school has a code of conduct, she willingly agreed to it, she got fired for violating it. End of story.what part of the premise.. the part where a pro-life ins ution is punishing her for keeping the baby..or the part where if she would have had an abortion she could have kept her job..

You can be so reasonable until you start going Catholic.

I was explaining the likely rationale -- I don't give two s about this story one way or another.
A swing and a miss, GGA.
Amazingly enough I'll agree with GGA on this one.
It might be legal but it's dumb. She could have gotten an abortion and they would have never known it. She keeps the baby and gets fired. I get the irony he was pointing out.
Isn't there already a thread on this topic?
They have such a right. People who put their kids in Christian schools do so for the values. Bringing in a bas child is an assault on those values for a role model to portray.
Just that simple.
What if a student is found to be a bas ?
Should he be expelled?
or the academic rigor.
Is a student a role model like a teacher is?
I didn't know that was a standard of yours.
Bingo
I sent my kids to a private school for the education, not the values.
It's rewarding illegitimacy.
Why can't that standard extend to the families in the ministry?
Yes, it's both. The values are a large part of it for enough people that it cannot be ignored.
According to you, it can be quite easily ignored.
Teachers don't pay tuition.
I think we need to go back to prefixing bas 's last names with Fitz, just so they are known.
A scarlet B could work as well.
Personally I like naming them all Snow.
