Wrongful Termination
Outcome
The court affirmed the trial court's reversal of the teacher's dismissal, finding that while Mr. Hawn was insubordinate in showing a video with profanity without parental consent, this single act did not warrant the drastic penalty of dismissal given his long record of good service.
