To: Conscience of a Conservative

I see the offering of a job to the fiance as a very Christian thing to do. They are attempting to help this couple establish themselves in marriage by providing them the financial security of a job. The gesture is not intended to suggest a double standard. Many Christian schools do not allow pregnant married women to continue to teach after their child arrives. They promote the idea of the mother being home to care for her children at least until they reach a certain age.

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.

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?
