After being fired for becoming pregnant out of wedlock, a former Catholic school English teacher has been denied reinstatement of employment but has been granted permission to proceed with her discrimination lawsuit against the school, the Christian Headlines website reports today (January 30, 2020).
On January 28, Northumberland County (Penn.) Judge Hugh A. Jones found that the one-year contract the former teacher, Naiad Reich, signed on June 14,2018, did not guarantee future employment.
However, Jones did note that Reich provided enough evidence suggesting she was terminated because of her pregnancy to proceed with a discrimination case.
"We are pleased that Judge Jones has ruled that we may proceed on our claims for declaratory judgment and unlawful discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act," said Reich's attorney Timothy A. Bowers in a statement. "We look forward to taking those claims to trial."
