St Mary’s Academy in Portland OR adopts a new sexual orientation nondiscrimination policy
St Mary’s Academy, a Roman Catholic high school for young women in Portland OR had withdrawn a job offer earlier made to a woman who later reported to the school that she was a lesbian. Less that 24 hours after the job recension was reported to the students and their parents by the school’s president, the school’s board has done an about face and has adopted a equal opportunity employment policy that includes sexual orientation and marital status.
