Contracts are not enforceable if they include illegal provisions. Doesn't matter if both parties sign and agree. Business Law 101.

The article states that the woman's lawyer said the contract violated state and federal law. But the article doesn't verify or contest the statement.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If you stand by this you'll have to explain why child molesting priests aren't fired for breach of contract and are simply subjected to a shell game. Unless, of course, you are prepared to defend a position that claims molesting children doesn't violate the church's teachings and therefore no breach of contract.

So then you admit that her termination was discriminatory and not a result of fervent application of church doctrine and enforcement of contract?

But my favourite is getting 7k because your arse got slapped http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scotti...7k-1104208 That's more than what a hooker gets for getting banged outright. Still, the Catholics would have been better off slapping her in the arse for being naughty rather than firing her. RE: Jury finds for Cincinnati teacher fired from Catholic school while pregnant

It's against the law to fire a woman because she is pregnant. Any lawyer specializing in labor laws will tell you that. Doesn't matter if it's stipulated in the contract or not, because that violates state & federal laws, as has been pointed out.

She still said "Yes, I agree to this and will follow this no matter what" and later changed her mind. All he's saying is it's a grand day for people who break their word. The law is irrelevant. He's judging her character and the character of those who think it's cool to break their word. RE: Jury finds for Cincinnati teacher fired from Catholic school while pregnant
