For skeptics of @ewarren’s claim she was from her teaching job in 1971 for being pregnant, the practice was actually widespread. How do I know? Because my mom was fired from HER teaching job in 1971…for being pregnant, with me. A brief thread-->

The @NEAToday decided to made hers a test case (Green v. Waterford Board of Education) arguing that firing a pregnant teacher — “forced maternity leave” was the euphemism — violated due process + equal protection under the 14th Amendment. It made national news:

222
1,524
The practice of firing pregnant teachers had broad, negative societal effects — one that stuck with my mom was that in 1971 many were wives of soldiers serving in Vietnam, abruptly deprived of their livelihood at the worst possible time.

1,451
Another rationale for firing pregnant teachers: to avoid "distractions" caused by "pointing, giggling, laughing + making snide remarks.” The judge called this “ludicrous,” adding “whatever may have been the reaction in Queen Victoria's time, pregnancy is no longer a dirty word.”

But she appealed and found a more receptive audience at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The alleged state interest in firing her included "concern for the [health and] safety of the teacher and her unborn child” — yet pregnant students could attend her high school.

The 2nd Circuit Court found the school’s pregnancy policy “discriminatory” and devoid of“legitimate state interests. It reversed the lower court’s ruling, finding that my mom had “a valid constitutional claim.” The Supreme Court later agreed in a related case.
