Some parents are speaking out after a popular first grade teacher was fired after she posted pictures of her same-sex wedding on social media.
Jocelyn Morffi taught first grade at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami for seven years. Last weekend, she married her girlfriend and posted pictures of the ceremony to Facebook. On Thursday, Morffi was fired.
In a letter to parents, Principal Carlota Morales called it a “difficult and necessary” decision. Nearly a dozen parents who had children in Morffi’s class came to the school to protest her firing. The parents called her a “great teacher” and said they were aware that she is openly gay and that it made no difference.
“I’m upset,” parent Christina Lopez told WPLG. “The way they handled this was just unbelievable.”
“What she does at home, that’s none of our concern,” said Ricardo Oviedo, another parent of a child in Morffi’s class. “The fact is, she maintained a high moral standard at school and was inscribing in our kids a sense of community and love.” …

Marriage my arse. I’d love to see inside these relationships. Monogamous they ain’t.
Fist they’d have a turkey Baxter baby or two.
The fact is, she maintained a high moral standard at school
how do you reconcile this statement, with the fact that homosexuality is immoral in her church????
Isn’t it curious how these hard working “journalists” can never find an opposing point of view?
At least one of them will go marry a dude and have kids in a few years.”””
Based on my late Facebook experience with the “I’m here and I’m Queer get used to it” crowd back just after high school,Yup! To the tune of about 90 percent.
“Lopez”
How many of the parents that complained were Hispanic?
I think you are right. There is a college expression LUG,
(Lesbian Until Graduation), implying that later lesbians or maybe bisexual females will start dating men, marry, and have children.
Actually she may have been.
If the Catholic school’s policy is to expect its employees to uphold Catholic teaching in their private lives, the school may have in fact fired her.
I have seen this happen in paid positions in my own parish.
But ppl divorced and remarried 8 times are ok. Crazy.
“Why would a Catholic school hire a lesbian teacher in the first place?”
And THAT is the prime question.
Not that lesbian teachers are not to be hired, but why in a school associated with teachings that this sort of thing is not condoned?
Let them go to a public school where the NEA motto is: “Standards? We don’t need no stinkin’ standards.”
yup - just further trying to undermine family and religion. It is a absolute obsession with these people
She'll probably get paid better as well, but doubtless have a whole new set of issues to deal with.
I wonder where they found 11½ parents.
Gay marriage is automatic excommunication.
The 12 parents likely weren’t Catholic either.
Why should we care about who the teacher wants to have a permanent relationship with? It is only because the teacher wants to flaunt that same sex relationship in front of children. Whatever happened to Victorianism where you could do as you please in private but not violate public norms, especially regarding children? Can Evangelical Christians go into, say, university classrooms and stand up and proselytize? No. Then why do gays have an exclusive right to proselytize, especially to students in a Catholic school? Unfortunately civil rights laws are one sided and give the modern individualists rights to flaunt that traditionalist Christians don’t have. Therein lies the problem.
I don’t believe that is ok either last time I checked.
Why not? they hire all sorts of leftist, feminist, Obama-loving idiots all the time. At my kids Catholic school, there were a lot of teachers' cars with DingleBarry and "I'm with her" bumper stickers. My daughter said that one of her teachers was crying the day after Trump won.
...was inscribing in our kids a sense of community and love...
Can someone translate that for me?
More like a sense of communism and physical lust.
