Married Teacher Fired Over Premarital Sex

I understand peoples oppinions on premarital sex, and living together, IMO its up to the two people and the god they believe in to decide if its right for them.
I also believe if you work for an organization that prides itself on being moral and following the beliefs set forth in the bible, that you should attempt to live up to those expectations. She did something that could not be concealed, and someone pointed out the immorality of her actions, thus the organization had to fire her, because she dealt directly with impressionable kids. All sin is equal, would you want an alcoholic teaching children morals? Would you want an unrepentant thief teaching morals to kids? She is a proven adulterer(biblical definition*, not legal), thus she has sinned while teaching children morals.
*having sex outside of wedlock, having sex with someone that you are not married too being the definition I am using. as opposed to the legal definition of having sex with someone while married to someone else, or having sex with someone that is married to somone else.

It is certainly valid, because there was speculation around Jesus' birth, which Josephus is well aware of. Not everyone believed that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit; there were other versions, which I am not about to repeat here, but some even said who the 'real' father was, and it wasn't God, nor Joseph.

And even if that were not the case, we are told that inasmuch as we do something to anyone, we do it to the Lord.

Therefore, the analogy stands, on both historic and theological grounds.
