Here is an interesting case from Canada. A teacher is suing for $2.2million in damages because he was defamed and falsely accused of sexual harassment. Also, interesting are his discrimination claims based on students making anti-semitic remarks.

A veteran public school teacher has launched two defamation lawsuits against principals, teachers, parents and school board administrators, claiming over $2.2 million in damages.

One of Abrams’ legal actions claims he was told to adjust or otherwise falsify students’ marks at Bishop Pinkham, because parents had complained. When he did not do so, he says, he was subjected to harassment by superiors.

He said the school’s principal and vice-principal (later the principal) made statements to parents about his professional abilities and took action to undermine him at work.
