Barbara Webb: "It is part of Marian's mission to educate women about human diversity."
Webb, 33, tells the Free Press she was fired last month because the "the public, visible nature of a pregnancy" conflicts with the Bloomfield Hills parochial school's morality clause barring a “lifestyle or actions directly contradictory to the Catholic faith."
“That you can’t hide a pregnancy from the public is why I was terminated,” she's quoted as saying. "She learned she was pregnant in June, told her employer in July and was fired in mid-August," Robert Allen and Katrease Stafford write, based on Webb's account.  
The school’s president, Sister Lenore Pochelski, confirmed Tuesday that Webb’s employment ended on about Aug. 19. But she declined to comment
Webb and her partner of more than five years, Kristen Lasecki, live in Madison Heights.
