Page 6 - Friday, December 28, 1984 - North Shore News Ea editorial News Viewpoint Rights logic he case of former St. Thomas Aquinas teacher Margaret Caldwell, fired for marrying a divorced Protestant, boils down to a conflict of ‘‘rights’’ — not uncom- mon in today’s rights-conscious society. After six years of legal battles the Supreme Court of Canada has finally ruled that the school was entitled to dismiss Mrs. Caldwell. This, despite the fact that she was described as an ‘‘excellent’’ teacher. and that the school staff allegedly included non-Catholic teachers who were themselves divorced or separated. On the surface, that might seem a blatant denial of Mrs. Caldwell’s human rights. Her problem, however, lay in her membership of the Catholic Church. The school held that Catholic teachers have a duty to be role models for the predominant- ly Catholic student body to a degree not demanded of non-Catholic teachers. This, of course, involves personal adherence to the laws of the Catholic Church which Mrs. Caldwell had technically broken by her marriage. Although, like other independent schools, St. Thomas Aquinas receives some public fun- ding, it is financed mainly by its students’ fee- paying parents. To that extend, it is clearly a private institution, free to set its own rules of conduct. One would have expected Mrs. Caldwell, as a Catholic, to have been fully aware of this when she elected to marry in defiance of the rules. The Supreme Court decided that the legitimate rights of the school took precedence over the ‘‘right’’” of Mrs. Caldwell to flout them. It’s hard to argue with that logic. -_ Le Wht v LLL vy, ts RARER RRA AANA EEE EE, VIEW FROM THE MIDDLE Socred concept of high-tech future lacking needed vision HESE DAYS, YOU CAN’T OPEN a newspaper or turn on the tv without getting a pep talk on the future of high-technology in diviston has been going after new markets in Europe, which have been dominated ment is pulling up barriers The university and technical school budgets are Just ‘clutter’! he factory of A.D. 2000 will be much smaller than today — with computeriz- ed machinery, minimal inventories and many less workers — says a new study by four U.S. experts.
