Teacher fired for premarital sex

mr.t said

I teach at a Catholic School, and my contact has a Morals Clause. If I break the Morals Clause, felony arrest,drunk in public, fooling around on my wife, living with a significant other, I can be fired. I was told that all who work or go to school at a Catholic School gives up certain rights. So, I follow my Morals Clause. If I do not want to follow the Morals Clause, I do not sign the contract. I am a big boy. I know the consequences of my actions.

You are absolutely right. I've worked for a faith-based company, and so has my wife. She also just applied for a job with another Christian agency, and the application process dealt heavily with morality. It took her days to get through it.

When I worked for a Christian radio station, I had to sign a faith statement and detail my beliefs. Even though my friend owned the place, I knew I could be terminated for acting in ways that would embarrass the company and violate my own statement of faith.

In such cases, states' at-will statuses are not relevent.
