No need. Same sex marriage wasn't legal.

This isn't the first homosexual teacher Brebeuf has ever had, it's just the first time a relationship was made public. But it didn't hinder their ability to teach us a) their subject and b) how to be "men and women for others."

Good to know that civil law is the arbiter of morality.

Dictatorship of relativism. Pfft.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your view

You asked why they didn't take a stand. It's because the archdiocese never asked them to not renew the contract of a gay teacher before. This only happened because the relationship/marriage became public on social media. The diocese was forced to do something and the school was forced to respond.
