I never said there wasn't ANY judgement present, I said the isolated act of admitting why the teacher was fired was not a judgement in itself. If you think it was, you're wrong.

I second what DF said about forgiveness. It would involve expressing remorse and it seems she hasn't (and no one here is saying she should have). Her personal life was her own business and the school shouldn't have asked or told others once they found out IMO. However, they did ask if she'd fornicated and she admitted she had. Presuming there's a clause in this mythical contract that she signed about fornication being an offense worthy of dismissal, she either shouldn't have done it or refused to answer the question based on its impropriety. She instead confessed to breaking a rule, unashamedly and unapologetically. Depending on how the rest of the school found out, her best bet is to sue for a violation of privacy I would think.

Honestly, I think this whole thing is despicable. I grew up in schools like this and I still think it's awful. The school was way out of line in probing into her sex life then discussing it with others after (both of those have some big "ifs" as we don't know the whole story). I don't agree with firing someone whose "questionable morals" have not caused harm to others or themselves, but that's just me. If it's in the paperwork, she had no choice but to comply or receive the sanction she was warned of, as much as that sucks.
