Which is why she should have LIED and said the baby was slightly early for medical reasons or something. LIE LIE LIE.

If she were 22, had a fling during Spring Break, and then told everyone about it, I'd understand a very strict Christian school having some issues to iron out with her, but even then, firing? And this situation is FAR from that. If the school had not subsequently told the entire campus population and their mommas no one would have the slightest idea her baby was conceived a mere three weeks before her wedding. I REALLY hope she wins this battle.

On one hand it's refreshing that they're treating the "sins" the same way. Inherently there's nothing more or less moral (from their point of view) about having sex 3 weeks before your wedding or having a one night stand.
I wonder how the news was spread, this is one of those things that everyone would have "figured out" one way or the other. Otherwise well liked teachers don't just disappear with no reason, and a small, insular school culture would have found out. Announcing it though? Inappropriate.
(I think the whole thing's inappropriate, I just think they probably had the right to do it.)
