I wonder how many schools she applied for?

I would like to know how many applicants they got for the position, and if it is just a case of sour grapes!

It can go in the file with this one!

The student teacher has a point , it is discrimination .
As for teachers having to share the religious views of the school .... rubbish .
There is a woman I work with at the moment, she does maths and science , the school is church owned and church run , she is a muslim . Does her religion mean she cannot teach those subjects in a Christian school ? The only time religion even comes up at all in those classes is when they do the Angelus at noon .
She also wears the hijab , does choosing to wear that impact on her ability to teach ? If it deos then what of those of the nuns who still choose to have their heads covered , does their attire impact on their teaching?

As for that second story thats simple isn't it , if you tell people that when you demolish their facilities you are going to replace them then of course you are going to get protests when you don't replace them .

It's a private institution, they should be able to hire whoever they want.

It is a business and it has employees , so they have to follow the laws that regulate business and employment .
It was their choice to start a business , so it is their responsibility to fellow the laws .

And what are the laws, pray tell? Is a Christian School (or any school, for that matter) a business?

Technically, that is arguable, but that wasn't really my point. Don't you ever question laws? Assuming that a job candidate meets the requirements to work (and be taxed) in that country, why should the state dictate who can and cannot be hired? Is that more productive? Does it ease conflict along racial or religious or gender lines? Experience in the U.S. says no.

Let us suppose that you had a school based upon some particular belief structure (even if it is simply secular). Parents send their children to your school because they like the curriculum. Suddenly, some diametrically opposed applicant shows up. Perhaps they are qualified, or perhaps they are not.
What do you do? If you hire this person, how do you explain it to your students' parents?
