Florida Teacher fired for "Fornication"?


A Florida teacher alleges that she was fired from her job instructing fourth-graders at a Christian school because she got pregnant before marriage -- an act school authorities labeled "fornication." Now if it were only that easy to get rid of some of the bad teachers we have in the NYS School System. I mean this woman was at least teaching the students properly and didn't have any complaints whereas there are numerous schools throughout NYS where teachers are not only terrible and abusive but keep their jobs thanks to the NYS Teachers Union.

Jarretta Hamilton, 39, admitted to school authorities at Southland Christian School in St. Cloud, Fla., in 2009 that she had conceived before her marriage in April of that year. One week after requesting maternity leave, she was unemployed.

"This is not a church, it's a school," Gay said. "Even if it's based on church beliefs, it's still a school."
