Elizabeth Warren references contract after attack on pregnancy discrimination claim

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Elizabeth Warren’s biography receives greater scrutiny, the 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner added a line to her stump speech at a gathering of Democratic women.

“I became a special needs teacher and I loved that job. But at the end of the first school year, I had an experience that at least some women will recognize,” the Massachusetts senator said in Washington, D.C. “By June, I was visibly pregnant. And the principal told me that the job, that I’d already signed contract for the next year, would go somewhere else.”
