I suppose he must have told somebody otherwise how would they even know? Students walked out. Parents refused to pay tuition until he was rehired. It made all the local media. "Let them look at how many brothers and sisters their students have", one parent wrote. "If they fired all the students whose parents use birth control, they would have nobody in this school."

The school eliminated their "Morals" Clause after this incident.
