An unmarried teacher alleges that she was forced to resign from a Minnesota Catholic school after informing the principal she was pregnant.

The teacher, "Emily," who asks that her last name not be used, says she is coming forward in order to help other women who may be in a similar situation.

"I just don't want it to happen to anybody else," says the former 5th-grade teacher at St. Felix School in Wabasha. "I feel it was an unjust act and I don't feel that ... anybody deserves to be treated in the way I was."

School officials told the Associated Press that they could not comment on personnel matters.
