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.” …

A teacher also teaches by character example. In this she failed.

Why would a Catholic school hire someone like this?
Why would a parent want a homosexual in charge of teaching their kids? They can never, ever keep their sexuality to themselves. Most of them openly try to recruit children.

Imagine that. A private religious school exercises its right to fire a teacher violating its practices and beliefs.

Parents don’t like it? Send your kids to another school. Ain’t freedom great?

she maintained a high moral standard at school

How? She can't be a pervert in her off-hours and a paragon during the day, any more than a nun can be a stripper when the sun goes down and pretend to be true to her vows.

Nearly a dozen parents . .

This should read, "A small group of parents . . "

Of course, with this Pope, who knows what “Catholic Teaching” is now.

More like “sodomite”. The term “homosexual” was invented by a left-wing journalist 1½ centuries ago, by name of Karl-Maria Kertbeny.

Same kind of people, yes.

The literal meaning of that latter word is “one who fears the same”.
