Teacher Sues School District Over Fear of Kids

A teacher in Ohio is suing her school district for discrimination, saying it forced her to teach younger students despite her fear of children. Mariemont school district reassigned 61-year-old Maria C. Waltherr-Willard, a French teacher for 35 years, from high school to junior high school.

The suit claims that the school district knew about Waltherr-Willard's phobia of children, which she apparently has suffered from since the 1990s, and pressured her to resign.

The fear of young children is
