The president of a suburban Seattle Catholic school has resigned in the turmoil following the school's decision to force out a vice principal who married his same-sex partner.

Eastside Catholic School trustees have accepted Sister Mary Tracy's resignation, effective immediately. In an email sent to parents, staff and others Tuesday evening, trustees said it was a "difficult but necessary decision" for Tracy.

Students and others have protested Zmuda's departure.

It's a school, not a corporation.

3. Private school. It's a business. Church or no. Cool, huh?

Affiliate with a church and you can screw your employees in myriad ways.
