(1) Let me go back and read (2) DH just choked looking at your siggy.
She didn't really.
It went: Why was she fired Because she spouts her business But why fired Well, she just wasn't renewed for coming year At Will state A bunch of legal issues with separation if church state and title vii issues But it is in the contract she signed Is it legal?
w/r/t the religious employee - if the school is a grade school, she probably teaches at least some of the religious ed even if she isn't a Catholic.
I have no idea if the above was addressed at all in this thread, but my experience has been - at the grade school level, the grade level teacher teaches the religion/church history class, even if they are not Catholic. I had 2 during my k-8 years like that.
and also, I kind of lol at the idea that if she told a grown up she'd tell the kids. OH NOES! I mean, come on - no she wouldn't. Who does? I can safely say that for all I've talked about IVF, it i has never once come up in conversation with anyone under the age of, oh, 30. Moreover, refer to the whole possible-admonishment-instead of-generating-needless-publicity hypothesis. If some don the tinfoil hat that "she was asking for it," I'll don the analogous hat that the Church wanted to make a stink even more.
What about someone in the U.S. on a temporary visa or green card? They agree to abide by the laws of the United States upon entering. But there's SO MUCH INTERPRETATION to the laws!
Say Joe Visa gets pulled over for drinking and driving. Well, it's not illegal in Joe's country. He had no idea it was illegal in this one, despite the fact that he agreed to abide by the laws when he signed his visa application. And really, under the influence is so open to interpretation. His BAC was such that it was just barely over one state's limit, but under several others'.
The U.S. deports or otherwise disciplines Joe. He cries foul and files suit. Should he win? Does the US have the right to impose their laws on him when he's not a US citizen?
Lucy is on fire in this thread and I'm only on pg 5
