Science teacher Sue Fustin says she was assured her marriage wouldn’t be an issue. That turned out to be a lie.

For what we can only assume is the 34902423rd time this has happened, a teacher married to a same-sex partner was fired from a Catholic school.

This time, it was Sue Fustin, a science teacher in Decatur, Illinois. Fustin’s educational career is about as impeccable as it gets. She was a longtime science teacher before becoming a principal. It was only after she formally retired that she opted to give it another go at a local Catholic school that needed some help.

Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School was in desperate need of a science teacher. Fustin was available and eager to jump back into the classroom. It sounded like a win for all sides.
