This case has two parts in all actuality:
On the job issue, the School wins, it is a private employer and she signed a morals clause. She violated the clause and it was within their rights to fire her.
However, the School violated HIPAA laws when it revealed private medical information and the reason for her firing. For that they should be held liable for her defamation and be held criminally for violating the law.
Are you sure HIPPA was involved? When did the school get access to her medical records?
I agree.
I’ve been trying to find the lawsuit posted online, but so far, no go. I’m looking for the allegation WRT what the school revealed. According to one report, the school sent a letter to all school staff members that told the reason (violation of morals clause in her contract) but not her conception date.
If that’s true, the school wins on that issue also.
However, according to her attorney, it is a discrimination suit, not a HIPPA suit. So, if tht’s true, the HIPPA issue would not come up.
But until we see the suit, we can’t say that for sure.
