Catholic Teacher? Pregnant? Unmarried? Fired.

A twenty-three-year old unmarried pregnant teacher in Minnesota lost her job at a Catholic school. I guess she should have had an abortion (that was sarcasm):

Emily Prigge, 23, of Lake City, told her principal about her pregnancy last month. Prigge says the principal and a priest asked her to resign last week, and she did. Her pregnancy is about 15 weeks along.

Prigge was in her first year on the job at St. Felix school. When she took the job, she signed a Catholic Christian Witness Statement, where she agreed to set a good example as a Christian in her personal and academic life. Prigge, who is Catholic, says she was told that she didn’t live up to the statement because she had premarital sex.

I’m pretty sure the principal and priest aren’t setting good examples either.

    Good thing her name wasn’t Mary.

    I wonder if they would even have noticed…. She might have had to ride a donkey for them to see the parallel!

    Damn - seems like she didn’t even get any bonus points for not using birth control.
