Students protest Catholic school that forced out lesbian dean after legal marriage [video]
”She undertook activities this past summer, regardless of what those activities are quite frankly, that were violation to an agreement she freely entered with the diocese.”

”When I found out she was terminated and I found out why she was terminated, I was outraged and disgusted with the decision that was made. They have people working for them who are divorced, they have people who are using contraceptives, they have students who go to the school who are pregnant, and they don’t make them leave, so why should they decide to act on those principles now?”
