A Catholic bishop in Ohio is defending the decision to fire a gay teacher.
Bishop Frederick Campbell said that maintaining the Catholic values of the institutions under his guidance explained why Carla Hale had to go.
She was dismissed from Bishop Watterson High School last month when officials found out she was gay through her mother’s obituary.
