In October, Teri James says her supervisor at San Diego Christian College called her to her office and got straight to the point: Was James pregnant? James, 29, of El Cajon, Calif., was indeed pregnant – and she was also unmarried, a violation of school rules, according to the lawsuit she filed in San Diego County superior court. She says she was fired because, as the termination letter included in the suit stated: “Teri engaged in activity outside the scope of the Handbook and Community Covenant that does not build up the college’s mission.”

California *and* Federal courts??
Sex outside of marriage is a vice. Whether they enjoy it or not is none of anyone else’s business. She worked for a private school with Christian moral standards. They have a moral code. She knew and got pregnant anyway. Actions have consequences. It would have better for her if she had remembered that fact.
If they were offering the job to the father/husband to help the family, this should have been agreed upon beforehand. The mother/wife should not have been left out of this decision, if she was.
I completely agree with removing unmarried pregnant females from a classroom. They set a bad example. Illegitimacy is probably one of the major reasons for the breakdown of society, and should not be glorified in any way.
Having said this, if the students are aware that the boyfriend was fine to teach even though he committed in the same sin as the girlfriend, that’s wrong. It’s punishing the female because she carries the child.
All around an unfortunate situation - no wonder we are told to “flee fornication”. Thankfully, abortion wasn’t considered an option.
“What? I guess in your world, sex is a vice and nobody ever enjoys it unless they are married.
The truth is, everyone enjoys it until they are married. Then, it somehow changes. “
Totally unBiblical worldview, there. I realize you don’t claim that it is.
Married couples report the highest sexual satisfaction. Just sayin’.
And the Bible doesn’t present sex as a vice. Read the Song of Solomon. It does, however, present extramarital sex of any kind as a vice.
And, who actually wrote that?
Malice, jealousy, lust? They could just simplify their "contract" by stating that the employees and student agree they will not sin. :-)
And that’s precisely the difference. The contract cannot invoke prior restraint. They can insist that the employee refrain from certain behaviours - but not require that she be a virgin.
“And, who actually wrote that? “
The Song of Solomon is in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Granted. But the author would be??????????
Duh, could it be, uh, maybe....King Solomon?
Doubt it. The bible is mostly hearsay that has been through dozens of translations and interpretations.
And the US Constitution only means what the US Supreme Court says it means.
Right?
I’d pull my child out of any school that fired the would-be mother, and then offered to hire the would-be father.
What hypocrites. Just what is this lesson going to teach the children?
Nope. The authors purposely crafted it to be perfectly understandable as long as the English language was spoken as the language of law and commerce, which it is not.
