>> administrators at Southland Christian School in St. Cloud parried her query about maternity leave with a query of their own: When did she conceive?
The correct answer is “Mind your own damn business.”
She actually may have a good case for revealing medical information without authorization. The firing may be a different story legally ... but the school’s behavior here is hardly exemplary.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
This is stretching the passage out of context. The fact of the matter is that we do not know whether or not she signed a moral agreement, and if so, what that moral agreement states.
The Pharisees and other men were about to stone that adulterous woman to death. This teacher hasn’t been stoned to death. Simply put, she was dismissed from her job.
If she violated the terms of the agreement, the school is within their rights and obligations to terminate her.
This is a private Christian school. I’m sure a teacher whose already pregnant before marriage isn’t something parents of attending students would take lightly. I sure as heck wouldn’t.
Time will reveal the facts, hopefully.
Well, most woemn don’t know “when” they conceive — it’s a sily question, unless you’re let out once a year to have sex on the eve of Beltane.
