Whether this school has a history of hypocrisy or not -- as some other poster seemed to indicate -- it's their right as I understand the law as a religious institution to hold their administration and staff to a moral standard that is aligned with the preachings of the church.
How is it not the right of the Catholic church to want to fill their schools with educators that follow the "laws" of their faith? Are you kidding me?

I'd be ok with that...in fact it is a bit hypocritical NOT to fire gay people in a Catholic school. However, you then need to fire everyone who commits soon. Bye-bye catholic school.reclegend22;1432737 wrote:How is it not the right of the Catholic church to want to fill their schools with educators that follow the "laws" of their faith?

If this were a public institution, then I would view the situation entirely different. It would be reprehensible. This isn't that case, however. This is a religious insitution wanting to uphold their ideals.
They have the right to terminate based on her contract. People have the right to complain and the school is going to have to decide if it wants to take the heat or not.Midstate01;1432739 wrote:Regardless its true. If its in the contract then they have every right to terminate that contract. Whether its idiotic or not.

Well, there is truth to what he says. We all know that in Catholic-land, homosexual behavior is only cool when it's an adult male using his status as a way to pound some altar-boy ass.Tiernan;1432735 wrote:as its entirely within you're rights to be a complete asshat...congratulations you have achieved success!

Yes, but I am trying to figure out why you do not think the Catholic church, as a private organization, has the right to hire -- and fire -- based on the tenets of their faith.derek bomar;1432761 wrote:you don't know what selective enforcement means?
This is true in the general sense of Ohio being an 'at-will' state. This doctrine applies in the absence of a contract and it allows either party, the employer or the employee, to terminate the employment relationship, for no reason or cause, without recourse. It is a two-way street.4cards;1432750 wrote:...I was listening to a talk radio show that was doing a segment with people calling into the lawyer in studio to answer legal questions.

Sure. It's that simple. Doesn't means people can't show their displeasure. After 19 years you fire a woman based on her mothers obit? Fucking. Despicable.gut;1432782 wrote:It's really is just that simple.
I am not saying they don't have that right. I am saying I find it insanely hypocritical of them to do so in this instance, when they are applying a standard that if applied evenly, would lead to the dismissal of almost all of their teachers, not just at BWHS, but everywhere.reclegend22;1432767 wrote:Yes, but I am trying to figure out why you do not think the Catholic church, as a private organization, has the right to hire -- and fire -- based on the tenets of their faith.
