If so defined as immoral by their employer, they could be fired for watching an episode of Bosom Buddies.

Wow. A lawsuit waiting to happen.

The rule as written is unclear, unenforceable, and probably unconstitutional.

The school should know better than to write such vague clauses, which are subject to personal interpretation, in their contracts. And employees should at least ask questions before signing contracts which could put their jobs at risk for undefined and capriciously enforced violations.

Not for a private Christian school.

I am not a lawyer, but I think you are wrong. Even public school teachers in most parts of the country would find their jobs in jeopardy if they publicized their attendance at perfectly legal strip joints although a tenured public school teacher in many states would be able to insist on certain procedures to be followed.

But teachers at a church-sponsored school? I have no idea what, if any contract the teachers have. I believe the Constitution is pretty silent on the subject of employment rights, although there are plenty of civil rights laws that do cover the subject. But the church could argue that their First Amendment rights would trump employment rights laws.

The 2020 “ 7-2 decision on the combined Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru and St. James School v. Biel cases carry significant consequences for a legal doctrine known as ministerial exception. Former teachers sued the two Catholic schools in Southern California after losing their jobs, launching a fresh test of a 2012 high court decision and new tension between workers rights and church authority.”

The Supreme Court just ruled on this three years ago, and reaffirmed a 2012 decision. Church schools can fire teachers who violate the religious positions and rules of the school.
