In reply to: half of the SJ's that taught at my high school were gay posted by jt

“An Archbishop told a Jesuit school to fire a gay teacher. They said no.”

It is not inaccurate - the teacher is gay and the headline does not say he was fired because he is gay, but I think it does give the impression he was fired because he is gay.

Agree or disagree with the reason, one has to read until paragraph ten before finding what I believe to be the Archbishop’s reason (Trustees statement that school “respectfully declined the Archdiocese's insistence and directive that we dismiss a highly capable and qualified teacher due to the teacher being a spouse within a civilly recognized same-sex marriage.")
