    The Employment Appeal Tribunal upheld its previous ruling that Zelda De Groen had been the victim of discrimination and harassment by the kindergarten because she was a woman.

    Zelda de Groen sued the Gan Menachem Nursery in Hendon after losing her job in July 2016. She had worked there for four years.

    De Groen grew up in a haredi Orthodox home in Stamford Hill in London, but left “after many years of significant discontent.” She moved in with her boyfriend in April 2016.

    In May 2016, they were guests at a barbecue along with some school trustees and parents of pupils. During the event, it became known that the unmarried couple was living together. Some parents spoke to the school about their objections to de Groen’s living situation afterward.

    De Groen said that following the event school managers subjected her to a “humiliating” hourlong interview in which they said it was time for her to get married. She also described their tone as “threatening.”

    She and her boyfriend were married later that year.

    The article’s first paragraph says that the school WON the appeal. The second paragraph says that the school LOST the appeal!
    Huh?

    There were two parts. One was an appeal on a previous religious discrimination ruling, which the appeal judge struck down. The other was an appeal on a previous sex discrimination ruling, which was upheld.

    To #3- You think that Jewish Israelis couples, who live among Jews, and not goyim, don’t live together without being married? There are many seniors who also do that. As long as they are not bothering anybody, I would not call them perverted.

    To #9 - The kids could care less, who she is living with. What is worse, a teacher like her, or a teacher, who screams at, or otherwise mentally abuses her students?

    To: #8 - She married the Father of her child; therefore, why don&#8 217;t you just drop the matter?
