Catholic school reinstates teacher suspended for defending Catholic teaching on Facebook

By: American Decency Staff

A teacher suspended from a Catholic school for using Facebook to defend traditional marriage has been reinstated.

Almost one month ago, Patricia Jannuzzi was suspended from Immaculata High School in Somerville, New Jersey, after she made what became controversial comments about same-sex relationships. Over the next several weeks, she was told that the suspension was effectively a release from her job, as she would not be rehired for the 2016 school year.

Jannuzzi was also told that she had lost her pay and benefits for the current school year.
