‘Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone human being can possess on planet Earth.’ If you agree to the aforementioned, children are then the wealthiest in this regard.

Students of Kennedy Catholic High in Burien, Seattle staged a massive walkout, protesting the resignation of two teachers who were required to do so after getting engaged.

Both English teacher identified as Paul Danforth and Soccer Coach Michelle Beattie quit their jobs in Kennedy Catholic High after getting engaged to their same-sex partners.

Turned out, the school specifically requires teachers to sign a document the school can revoke if eventually, a teacher’s lifestyle is incompatible with the Catholic moral values. Some parents are, however, aware of this clause, and hoped the school would never act on it or perhaps saw it as injustice.
