I seriously doubt you were fired for being pregnant. Even the most ruthless corporate shills wouldn't dare fire a pregnant woman, the cost of the legal shitstorm that would ensue far outweighs what they would pay you in maternity for a year. A school for young children would be more understanding.

Thats highly illegal.

That's actually really illegal

that's actually illegal. if you feel like becoming a few thousand dollars richer. sue the school district.

that's stupid. 2 of my teachers in 7th grade were pregnant and one even had to take a month or two off so they could raise the baby.

They're not allowed to fire you for being pregnant, I'm like 99.9999% certain. Buuuut they do NOT have to give you maternity leave. At cashiering job in MN, you have to be with the company for a year before you can have maternity leave. Which is really really really dumb considering you need maternity leave when you need maternity leave. Because of this policy, I think you can be fired for not being able to do your job because you're pregnant. Try standing for 8 hours while in your third trimester!

Not only is this wrong, that is highly illegal, and OP has a solid case against them. Hopefully, justice will prevail and the assholes will find themselves out on their own asses.

That is illegal.

Hire a lawyer sounds like a title VII violation.

That's illegal. If someone else took over the class then there WAS something for you to teach . So they have in fact just fired you because of your condition. Which is illegal
