You hear about these stories from time to time, and why they make the news is beyond me. An unwed pregnant teacher has been fired from a Catholic school. Imagine that. A Catholic school teacher is being fired because she didn't live up to the ideals that the school required her to adhere by. This isn't about having sex before marriage, it's about contract law. Many Catholic school contracts have "morality clauses" that state you can lose your job if you don't follow the teachings of the Catholic church.
Here's a novel idea: If you don't like living by those rules, don't get a job at a Catholic school. This is only news because the mainstream media wrongly thinks it is some kind of discrimination. It's not, it's about common sense.
Do Catholic schools pick and choose what rules they want their teachers to follow? Absolutely. I know of Catholic school teachers who are Masons or have been divorced and remarried or who live with their boyfriends/girlfriends out of wedlock. Remember, it's only against the rules if you get caught doing it. But if you do, your fired.
