that's what i know too. i also suggest her to sue the school, but she said it will be difficult and she doesn't want to have more things to think about. She also told me that it was for the sake of the school that she accepted the "solution" the school worked up regarding her "scandalous" situation.

I told her about the story of Jesus, how he was a conceived out of wedlock as well and yet he was proclaimed as a god. She just laughed and said, she ain't Mary.

 

I really don't understand the way of thinking the faithful have. They say they're compassionate but the truth is they're as cruel as those who prejudice the one they worship.

 

total BS!

I would buy her congratulations present for the baby, a universal baby gift and make it a point to let everyone else know how happy I was for her. knowing me I would be a total ass and announce how wonderful this news was and how anyone who actually has a heart would be just as happy for her and then tell her to ignore all the skeptics because they are probably just jealous anyways.

Also the fact that they fired her over it is terrible. I can only imagine what she must be feeling. There has to be something she can do that is on the legal side of things. Rather religious beliefs had anything to do with it or not discrimination is still discrimination.

That's awful! Stupid, Stuck-up, Self-righteous Bitches!!

 

Personally I think they're just jealous that she has a sex life and they can't.

Yep.. 'nun' so cruel nor 'nun' so blind.

I'd find a nice bible quote that says  something about tolerance and love, stick it on her pic and display it somewhere noticable.

If you are or were catholic, go to the school's priest's confessional and confess your feelings of rage and dissolusionment with the nun involved.  

 

Any chance of publishing the name so we can write and protest? Or will they fire you as well?

That's total BS, and also totally illegal! I can understand that she doesn't want to bother with it, but I would take them to court and expose their bigoted discriminatory views for exactly what they are. I hope everything turns out okay for her and that she has a happy and healthy child.

Funny: you cannot get an abortion because it is murder but you cannot have a child out of wedlock because it is immoral. Are they on the child's side or their own!

She should sue; they had no right to fire her.

its a wonderful idea to sue the hell out of the school, but it will bring more problems. she might lose her teaching licence if it goes out of hand or she might have a hard time looking for a school to accept her as a teacher. Plus, i don't think the Philippines takes cases like this seriously or they might side with those nuns since our country is highly religious.

 

i accompanied my colleague today to talk to our directress and inform her that my colleague is planning to get married this April. It was a futile attempt to persuade our directress, she didn't talk to my friend and just said that she had made her decision and that is final.

 

I'm planning to spread a whitepaper regarding this injustice but I'm afraid that it'll get my ass in trouble or I might worsen my friend's predicament! Besides, in a community so deeply rooted to the church, who will listen?!

 

anyway, on Monday, we will have a secret despedida (farewell)/ baby shower party for my friend. it's the least we could do to her.
