Welcome!

Hello, Kakafilipo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Marian High School (Bloomfield Township, Michigan) does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please help me with determining how Wikipedia's NPOV policy is being met on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_High_School_(Bloomfield_Township,_Michigan)

The page lists Controversies and Human Rights Issues as the second topic in content. I have visited the Wikipedia pages of four other Catholic high schools that have fired teachers for issues relating to gay relationships and having children outside of wedlock, and on none of those pages are the controversies listed as highly in the page, nor do any of those pages refer to the controversies as human rights issues.

This article is biased against the school by placing the controversy above standard school specific contents such as Academics. Furthermore, the article is biased against the school because it makes the firing an LGBT issue instead of an issue regarding the Catholic Church's opposition to IVF. The school knew that the teacher was gay and was in a relationship for many years but did not fire her until she became pregnant using a method that the Catholic Church forbids. The school would have fired a straight teacher for using IVF, just as it would fire a teacher who had an abortion.

Helped Hi Kakafilipo, and welcome! Rather than bring it up here on your talk page where your questions will get limited attention, bring it up on Talk:Marian High School (Bloomfield Township, Michigan). You could copy the following, and paste it in edit view at the bottom:
