[QUOTE="Phylogeny, post: 54922131, member: 95657"] I don't agree with the school's action. But I also don't think the woman has much legal standing. It's a private school and it was spelled out clearly what they are expecting of their teachers. That said.....it seems the school's behavior is a bit incongruous with their religious teachings. Namely to forgive others for sinful transgressions, or to help those who have need of assistance. Certainly, a pregnant woman will be better off with more money in the bank. Turning away someone like that seems unChristian to be. More importantly, she made a mistake and the school decides to not forgive or use this as a teaching point to students. So instead of learning that people----even teachers----can commit sinful acts and they can find forgiveness as long as they repent, the students will learn that sinful behavior will be punished long after the person has committed them and no amount of 'right' behavior (i.e marrying the father, being a productive member of society, supporting the child) will allow for forgiveness. Geesh, not sure that's the message I want to give to my kid. [/QUOTE]
