Case
Teacher becomes a national spokesman

An elementary teacher becomes a national spokesman for a legalization of marijuana organization. Even though he has 25 years of exemplary evaluations, his employment is terminated after an investigative reporter writes an article on the teacher, exposing his association with this organization. The teacher files a suit claiming his rights were violated. How should the courts rule in this case? What legal considerations would be considered?

Solution #1
I think that the only action that could have led to termination would be if the teacher actually did the illegal drug and violated his/her contract. Simply supporting a cause is not a sound reason for termination.

What a teacher does outside of school is their business. It shouldn't matter as long it does not effect his teaching. Teachers are also permitted to have personal lives.
