When was she judged? The school didn't pass judgement on her character (or slander her, label her with a scarlet letter, etc) they just expressed that she wasn't following the guidelines of her (extremely vague) contract and said she could not work there on those grounds. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying I don't see a judgement in that.

This.

Absolutely. This is the answer that would have been best, though they asked her so out of the blue, I don't blame her for giving an automatic reaction.

This made me lol.

Honestly, I think the whole thing is totally effed up but it all boils down to the contract. I hate to say it but, if it was on paper, then there's really nothing to be done, she knew what would happen. If it's not then sue away!!
