Christian school fires pregnant woman over premarital sex - Life Inc.: Also insulting, James said, was that after firing her, the school offered a job to her then-fianc� – they are now married – even though it was known that he, too, engaged in premarital sex. He did not accept the job, she said.
In filing the suit, James joins a group of women who in recent years have sued the religious schools that fired them for getting pregnant out of wedlock. In each case, the school pointed to moral codes, “community covenants” and handbooks that employees must sign, typically every year, promising to abide by school rules.
