The New Jersey Supreme Court sided with a Catholic school that fired a teacher for having premarital sex after she told them that she had become pregnant.
The court sided with St. Theresa School on Monday after the private school terminated Victoria Crisitello in 2014 when the unmarried employee informed the principal about her pregnancy during a meeting about a possible promotion, according to legal documents.
Principal Sister Theresa Lee told Crisitello weeks after the meeting that she broke the school’s Code of Ethics because she had sex before marriage, according to legal papers obtained by CNN.
Her contract was cut and she was replaced by a teacher who was married with children, the docs state.
Cristello sued in 2014, arguing she was discriminated against based on her pregnancy and marital status.
