Single and pregnant Victoria Crisitello was fired in 2014 by St. Theresa School in Kenilworth, which had the right to terminate her, the court said.
New Jersey's highest court ruled that a Catholic school was within its legal right to fire an unmarried pregnant teacher who had failed to"abstain from premarital sex," as a condition of her job.
The school asked Crisitello in 2014 if she’d like teach art full time. Crisitello, single at the time, said she would need a raise, explaining she was pregnant and teaching full time would be more taxing. The trial court twice threw out Crisitello's case before it was twice reinstated by the appellate division. The ACLU and New Jersey Office of Attorney General wrote briefs siding with Crisitello.ruled in the school's favor, saying Crisitello twice signed forms agreeing to abide by the school’s code of ethics, which calls for employees to “conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with the discipline, norms and teachings of the Catholic Church.
“In other words, St. Theresa’s required adherence to Catholic law, and Crisitello knowingly violated Catholic law.”
