A GERMAN teacher is suing a student for teasing her about an alleged phobia of rabbits and drawing one on her blackboard.
The teacher, named only as Marion V, fled in tears when she saw the chalk drawing at a school in the northern German town of Vechta, De Spiegel reported.
Her 16-year-old tormentor had told classmates that Marion V. was terrified of rabbits and would "flip out" is she saw one, according to court documents.
The victim, who teaches German and geography, has refused to say whether she is afraid of the animals but is suing the youngster for defamation and for "infringing her rights."
She has been off work since the incident.
"The plaintiff, a teacher, teaches the accused pupil at a high school in Vechta and claims the pupil drew rabbits on the blackboard of the classroom and told fellow pupils the teacher was afraid of rabbits and 'flips out' when she sees a rabbit," a court document said.

"The teacher demands that the accused refrains in future from drawing rabbits on the blackboard and claiming that she, the teacher, is afraid of rabbits and flips out at the sight of them."
The defendant, named only as Kim, has already made one court appearance, accompanied by her mother.
She told the court: "I didn't draw the rabbit. I know the teacher from my previous school where she also gave lessons.
"All I did was tell another pupil that she used to run out of the classroom whenever she saw a drawing of a rabbit."
Kim's mother told reporters: "The teacher didn't talk to me before she filed the complaint.
"My daughter has had rabbit stress all year because of this."
A spokeswoman for the court said the judge will announce his verdict on July 20.
If found guilty, Kim will land a €5000 ($7400) fine if she ever draws another rabbit or repeats her claims.
I remember that - did they ever say how?
Looks like a pink nightmare! LOL!
Where are the pictures of the German schoolgirls?

Before she became a vengeance demon, she was the faithful and loving wife of an brute, helping financially support the household by raising and selling rabbits. She was quite the little capitalist who understood supply and demand, marketing, and the viability of a food stock that multiplied rapidly. Her brutish husband, however, cheated on her with a hefty bar-wench. In the rage of her confrontation with her unfaithful husband, the rabbit cage is destroyed and the bunnies exterminated. (I think it was actually the brute that killed them just to be mean to his devastated bride.) In her desolation, Anya is recruited by a demon overseer to become a vengeance demon, and her first act is to turn her brutish husband into a repulsive ogre. The whole experience with the rabbits and their brutal demise overwhelms her (I guess with guilt over having not been able to save them) and she develops a deep fear that the all rabbits will somehow blame her and seek vengeance on her.
