Suffering domestic abuse while teaching at a Catholic school? Well that's a firing.

Courtesy of NBC News:  

A San Diego teacher was fired by Holy Trinity School following a domestic violence incident involving her ex-husband. 

Second-grade teacher Carie Charlesworth is out of a job, but not for anything she did in the classroom. Her school district considers her a liability and too unsafe to have around following a domestic violence dispute that happened earlier this year. 

A letter sent to Charlesworth said that school officials are concerned about her ex-husband's "threatening and menacing behavior," and as a result they "cannot allow" her to continue teaching at the Holy Trinity School. 

"They’ve taken away my ability to care for my kids,” said Charlesworth. “It’s not like I can go out and find a teaching job anywhere.” 

The mother of four children didn’t think this would ever be her story to tell, but she is using her name and showing her face in hopes of bringing attention to a larger problem.

So Christian of them to compound this poor woman's problem from simply being abused, to being abused while unemployed.

After all WWJD?

You know I worked at a business that served children where a woman was being physically abused by her husband and was seeking a divorce. Rather than fire her, or shame her for her situation, we supported her.

One day her husband showed up yelling and making all kinds of scary threats.

The owners escorted the children to the back of the building and I went outside and had a "chat" with the gentleman. He never came back again.

I have seen similar scenarios numerous times in my life, and yet I don't remember ONE time where the employers fired the abuse victim. I guess that must be a Catholic thing.
