I am a teacher and my athletic director has made numerous comments on my "capabilities" for the upcoming basketball season because I am pregnant. He has also made many comments on how "if he could have it his way, he would replace me." Is this legal? Not only is it legal - is it slander of my name that he is even talking about it with other employees and parents?

Thanks

If the other teacher is stating a fact, then you do not have a case...otherwise an opinion is just that, an opinion and there is nothing you can do about it.
