New Hampshire Teacher, Involved in Students Abortion, Has Teaching License Restored After Lawsuit

In New Hampshire, a teacher identified as Jane Doe recently had her teaching credentials reinstated after filing a lawsuit against state officials. The lawsuit stemmed from allegations that the Department of Education misrepresented her involvement in a student's abortion. Although she did not contest her dismissal from a private school last year, Jane Doe sued the education department over the earlier revocation of her teaching license. Her lawyer, James Armillay, confirmed that her license has been reinstated temporarily pending further administrative proceedings. Armillay expressed confidence that a fair hearing would demonstrate Jane Doe's adherence to professional conduct standards and warrant no disciplinary action.

Jane Doe's lawsuit argued that the education department violated her due process rights by rescinding her license without a fair procedure. She also accused Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut of spreading misinformation about her actions related to the student's abortion. Edelblut had raised concerns in a public opinion piece about educators potentially facilitating abortions without parental consent, although the student in question was legally able to make her own medical decisions.

The teacher asserted that upon learning of the student's suspected pregnancy, she provided appropriate guidance and transportation to a health center for the procedure. Despite these actions, her employment was terminated by the school shortly afterward. A court hearing is scheduled to address the matter, occurring just days before Jane Doe is set to begin a new teaching position.
