AP: “A former high school teacher is accusing school district administrators of discriminating against her because of a rare phobia she says she has: a fear of young children. Maria Waltherr-Willard, 61, had been teaching Spanish and French at Mariemont High School in Cincinnati since 1976. Waltherr-Willard, who does not have children of her own, said that when she was transferred to the district’s middle school in 2009, the seventh and eighth graders triggered her phobia, causing her blood pressure to soar and forcing her to retire in the middle of the 2010-2011 school year.”
Instead of taking retirement Maria sued the school which contended it’s job was to provide the best educators for it’s students.
