That is not an issue of "education law." In addition, no one here possibly reach an opinion on what happened with 2 sentences of one side of a story. We can say we believe you, but that means nothing and won't help you a bit. If you are in a union (you failed to even state your position, but we assume you are an employee), contact them.
