Appeals court rules Catholic NC high school could fire teacher over same-sex marriage

A federal Appeals Court has ruled that Charlotte Catholic High School did not violate a teacher’s rights when it fired him for planning to marry his same-sex partner. The decision Wednesday from the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a trial judge’s ruling favoring English and drama teacher Lonnie Billard.
