CINCINNATI – Demonstrators have marched in Cincinnati to protest new language in contracts for teachers in the area’s Roman Catholic schools placing more restrictions on personal behavior.
About 60 people showed up Tuesday to march to the offices of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to hand-deliver petitions protesting the new contracts, which specify behaviors and actions that can get teachers fired. That includes such things as abortion, artificial insemination and “homosexual lifestyles.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the march drew teachers and a mix of parents, students, former teachers and others who support their cause.
All teachers in the 19-county archdiocesan school system are required to sign the contracts for the 2014-15 school year. The archdiocese has said it has no plans to change it.
