A private school teacher is suing the New Hampshire Department of Education after being fired for driving an adult student to get an abortion. The teacher argues she provided the student contact information for a health center and gave her a ride, as the student wasn't living with her parents and was a legal adult.
The lawsuit accuses the Department of Education of revoking the teacher's license unfairly without due process and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut of pushing a false narrative about her conduct. Edelblut's opinion piece questioned if it's right for educators to take students to get an abortion without parental notification when the student is an adult.
The lawsuit claims that the department was aware for months prior to an opinion piece by Edelblut that the student in question was an adult and thus not bound by the parental notification law.
The Education Department declined to comment on its investigation, leaving the case under public scrutiny.
