Dear PAO,
My sister is an elementary school teacher in a Catholic educational institution. She has been employed by the school on probationary status for 10 months. On her fifth month of employment, she found out that she was seven weeks pregnant. She immediately informed the school of her pregnancy and her plan to marry her long-term boyfriend. However, my sister is afraid that she may be dismissed from her work because of her pregnancy outside of marriage. Could the school dismiss her on the grounds of the pregnancy, allegedly for being disgraceful or immoral?
