It's simple - she was a lowly teacher, and being pregnant is a problem women have that proves they had sex - And women are property in the good book, and a woman only has worth if they are virgins to be sold off as cattle (hence why the good book says a rapist must marry his victim and give her family 30 pieces of silver or whatever it was)

The priests are part of the "upper management" if you will, and there is no physical giveaway that they had raped anyone - nothing grows and becomes unhidable on the priest when they rape and molest children, and therefore they can go along and never address something happened unless forced to address it, and it's only been how many years since the world found out just how bad it's been, and I still think it's only the tip of the pedo iceberg

Now change she by he, and nobody will enforce this clause of the contract. She’s fired because she’s a woman who dares to have premarital sex.

Only if it equally applies to men who get someone else pregnant out of wedlock.

Also it's supposed to be federally illegal.

The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA) makes it illegal for employers with 15 or more employees to discriminate against women because of pregnancy, child-birth, abortion, or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. Pregnant workers must be provided with the same benefits and accommodations and treated the same as non-pregnant workers who have similar abilities or limitations to their work.

I respect the voicing an opinion that goes against the grain, but...

1. That school gets federal funds. We pay for these idiots to teach nonsense.

2. Contracts shouldn't be able to violate basic freedoms. Don't like it, work elsewhere, right?

Check the contract/waiver for your cell phone, mortgage, bank, school, employment, etc. Odds are there's an arbitration mandate. Guess who arbitration sides with 95+% of the time. The guys who pay them.

Contracts state ridiculously evil shit. There are too many contracts to read. Organizations push for too much. We should not be able to sign away fundamental rights.

Try getting a job, cell phone, apartment, etc., without signing away basic rights. It's only getting harder.

Edit: Stupid phone typos

Being put in a contract doesn't magically make illegal things legal.

So an employer can demand that employees don't have kids? Or make them sign a contract saying they won't marry someone from another race? Or fire someone if they get a blood transfusion? Employers shouldn't have a say on anything (legal) you do outside of work.
