Teacher fired for being pro-choice
I guess I missed this one when it first went down.
A teacher who was fired from a Catholic school for being pro-choice lost a court case today. Sad.
The teacher, Michele Curay-Cramer, who now teaches at a junior high in West Chester, was hired in 2001 to teach English and religious classes at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington.
Ursuline fired her Jan. 27, 2003, a week after she signed her name to a newspaper advertisement celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
Curay-Cramer sued in federal court in Delaware, citing a 1978 law that forbids employers from discriminating against employees who support abortion rights.

A Court of Appeals ruled against Curay-Cramer, saying that Congress didn’t intend for the 1978 law to apply to religious schools. Cause only they can discriminate apparently.
