The idea that a job contract can dictate your sex life is completely fucking deranged.
Marijuana is legal in my state. All the empty businesses in town are now filled with pot stores.
My job does random drug testing. If they detect marijuana, that's instant firing, no recourse (at will employment).
The idea that a job can dictate anything I do outside of work is deranged.
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.
Yes.
And while I agree with the idea that churches shouldn't run schools, they do and have done for a long time, and as long as people keep sending their kids there, they will continue.
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
