Margie Winters' firing was unjust and contrary to Catholic values, and she should be reinstated immediately. Please inform the school's leadership that you will not interfere with their staffing or threaten their status as a Catholic school.
Why is this important?
When she started teaching at Mercy Waldron Academy eight years ago, Margie Winters told the principal of the Catholic school she was married to another woman. She was told that wasn't a problem.
But now, the beloved director of religious education has been fired -- just weeks before Pope Francis visits Philadelphia.
Parents are pointing fingers at Philadelphia archbishop Charles Chaput, who praised school leaders' "character and common sense" in deciding to fire Margie.
Margie Winters is exactly the type of person Pope Francis is welcoming into the Catholic Church -- let's stand with Margie and show how many people are upset by her firing.
