People feel entitled to challenge everything these days.  Even if they've understood the rules and they're reaping the benefits, they decide they're above the system and the rules don't apply to them.  They get lawyers, go public, and cause grief.  These people make me sick.  So when I recently read about the Christian school teacher who got knocked up out-of-wedlock and sued the school for firing her, I was disenchanted yet again. 

Here's what happened:  A 29-year-old science teacher and volleyball coach was fired from a Texas Christian academy for getting pregnant out-of-wedlock.  She says she has a fiancé, and defends herself by saying, "I'm not just some teacher that went out to a bar and got pregnant and went back to school saying it's okay.  I was in a committed relationship the whole time and probably would have been married if things had gone differently and this would be a non-situation." 

She's absolutely right.  If she had done things the right way - went on a date, received a ring, got married, and then had babies - this wouldn't be happening.  By the way, a committed relationship is called marriage, not shacking-up.

She then claimed she had no idea she would lose her job over the pregnancy. 

What??

She teaches at a Christian school!  If you want to live a free and easy life don't teach at a religious school.  She wasn't fired because she wanted pregnancy leave.  She was fired because she broke the moral rules of a Christian school and became a bad role model for little kids.  And getting married at this point wouldn't work , because she's already knocked up out-of-wedlock and the kids all know.  

The school's headmaster said she was fired for violating her contract, which includes a clause requiring teachers to be Christian role models.  "It's not that she's pregnant," the headmaster said, "the issue here is being an unmarried mother.  Everything we stand for says that we want our teachers, who we consider to be in the ministry, to model what every Christian man and woman should be."
 
I can't believe this twit has the gall to sue.  If this had happened back in the day, she would have been ferociously embarrassed, kept her mouth shut, and gotten married 20 seconds after she took the little pee test showing she was pregnant,  because her behavior would have been considered unbecoming a lady and unbecoming a teacher in a Christian school in particular.  These days, if you don't tolerate something, no matter what it is, you're a bad person.  In my opinion, how dare she sue.
