A beloved vice principal at Eastside Catholic School in Washington state was recently ousted after he got married to another man. Sadly, similar incidents have been happening at Catholic schools across America.

But this time was different, because hundreds of high-school students walked out of class and held a rally outside to demand that the Catholic archdiocese reinstate their vice principal.

The students' courageous protest has made headlines across the country. Students at other schools are holding their own protests in solidarity and alumni are threatening to withhold their donations.

Let's show that Christians across America are standing with these students, and it's time for the Catholic Church to make good on Pope Francis' words by changing its unjust and discriminatory employment policies.
