    A bit of good news to come out of a bad story.

    Skutt teacher to take job at Millard North High School | Local News - KETV Home

    Matthew Eledge was fired from Skutt Catholic high school ended his contract reportedly because he was gay.

    A petition was set up in support of the teacher (garnering nearly 100,000 signatures), but now the teacher has managed to get a new job at a competitor to the Catholic high school down the road (serves them right!).

    What is lovely to hear is one of his students making the transfer with him to show support.

    Not all catholics are bigots such as some of my relatives and not all priests are perverts. Your hatred of religion is disgusting dude and seen in almost every post you make.Show some respect.

    I am happy this guy finds a job and I know who will enter the gates of heaven between him and that school principal at that Catholic School.

    Disgusting this can even happen. I thought LGBT+ were protected from being fired because of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

    He doesn't have a hatred for religion, and the catholic church has been known to turn it's eye on pedophilic religious figures, priests included.

    More on topic, I feel sorry for the guy. Glad the petition is doing so well :grin:

    Yeah I agree they have I despise the church as mush as anyone but I am reasonable enough to know not all priests are perverts and not all catholics are bigots. And I do think catholic schools need to be abolished cause they are hateful cult like organizations these days that is coming from a christian perspective.

    Agreed. It's true, there is a very small number of pedophilic priests that they turn a blind eye to. However, the comment implied that, as stated before, all Catholics are bullying bigots with no sense of moral code. There's no need to be irrational...

    That's horrible. Why is okay to fire a teacher or anyone because of their sexuality? Just shameful.

    At least shit like that cant happen over here. Any discrimination is unacceptable in my mind, and to use religion as a reason to do it just shows what scumbags some people are.
