THE LAW(YER) IS A
THE LAW(YER) IS A ASS This has got to be one of the dumber lawsuits- and it’s local. A while back, a teacher at a Catholic high school was fired for putting her name to a pro-choice advertisement. Personally, I think the school was in the right. Abortion is pretty much anathema to the Church. They should (and do) have the right to fire a teacher who publicly disagrees with their teaching. Well, her lawyer disagrees and has filed a lawsuit alleging “pregnancy discrimination.” Yes, you read that correctly.
The 21-page complaint also alleges that Curay-Cramer’s dismissal based on her abortion rights views violates the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which prohibits firing an employee for having an abortion. The complaint contends that though Curay-Cramer herself didn’t have an abortion, she is entitled to the act’s protections because of her views supporting abortion.
“It’s a slam-dunk,” Neuberger said of the charges. “There are no exemptions for religious institutions for sexual discrimination.”
A slam dunk for the school, I’d guess.
