US Methodist School Fires Lesbian Duo For Being In A Relationship

‘Love thy neighbour as thyself’ Jesus said. As with most other religious tenets, religious people decide when and when not to apply it in their lives.
A school in Florida sacked two lesbian teachers of theirs when they discovered their sexuality. Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Centre let go of teachers Jaclyn Pfeiffer and Kelly Bardier.
WFTV reports:
“Pfeiffer and her partner Kelly Bardier both worked at the school; Jaclyn was a full-time teacher and Kelly was a substitute.
According to Pfeiffer, rumours of her sexual orientation began to circulate after her girlfriend took a job in another part of the school as a substitute teacher. She said the two kept their relationship private, but one day the director of the school called her in to her office to confront her about the relationship.
Pfeiffer said a few days after the conversation with the school’s director, she was told to come by the school and pick up her things. At about the same time, a letter from the school’s director went out to parents explaining only that, “Due to personal reasons,” Pfeiffer would not be teaching at Aloma anymore”
Not content, the two filed a lawsuit, which has been settled via a settlement. They’ll receive $30,000 and a positive letter of recommendation so they have no problem landing their next jobs.
So even if this is happening in the West, I can imagine what would happen if such a situation arose in Ghana. The women involved would get no compensation, that’s for sure.
