The Raw Story website reports today (April 12, 2012) that a Christian school in Texas has fired an unmarried science teacher because it claimed she was not a good "Christian role model."
Cathy Samford -- who is now 39 weeks pregnant -- said she was "totally shocked" when Heritage Christian Academy in Rockwall, Texas fired her from her job after they discovered she was pregnant late last year.
"I'm not just some teacher that went out to a bar and got pregnant and went back to school saying it's okay," Samford explained. "I was in a committed relationship."
Samford has filed charges with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for gender and pregnancy discrimination, and is prepared to sue the school.
