I’m not casting aspersions on anyone, merely observing that by advocating that never-wed mothers not be teachers, DeMint is merely agreeing with the leftist notion of “role models” being important.

The leftist notion would want the unwed teacher to use her pregnancy as a teaching moment - that a marriage cert isn’t necessary, that families consist of whatever you want them to be. The far-right would want her fired for being a negative influence and a poor role model. The balanced position would be for the teacher to continue teaching, but keep her private business private.
