As a rule issues involving morality is not a ground for dismissal unless this affects your performance in work.But if your school has a clear policy on this (meaning this is contained in their rules and regulations) and that violation of the said policy will mean dismissal then they can use this as a ground to terminate you.However, they should afford you the twin requirements of due process, notice and hearing.
Tell them about your situation.
