Getting A Divorce? You Could Lose Your Job (Oklahoma Christian University)
<snip>

EDMOND, Okla. -- An Oklahoma university has proposed a policy that would allow officials to fire employees who get a divorce, Oklahoma City television station KOCO reported.

Oklahoma Christian University is already getting some attention for a letter it sent to faculty that stated:

"Because the Christian mission of the university is most effectively fulfilled through mentoring and example, all married faculty and staff should strive to model (healthy) marriages to students."

University President Mike O'Neal said this doesn't mean everyone who gets a divorce would lose his or her job. He said the university would look at each individual case.

1. No mention of how they're planning to deal with
adultery? Polyamorous Pods? Sex tapes on the internet ala Pam & Tommy Lee?

4. Don't worry, they're working up to that.
This country is becoming more and more like Margret Atwood's book "The Handmaid's Tale" every day.
