Legal Question in Education Law in New York

Public school partisan? part 2
My earlier question was answered but I did not provide enough detail; i will now ask the same question again but place it in context. I am enrolled in a public high school in New York. I had a school physical recently to allow me to be eligible to play school sports. I was about to take the hearing/vision part of the test, so the nurse, an elderly lady, and i went into the room and closed the door to prevent background noise. She made small talk for a moment and then asked somewhat casually who i would vote for in the current presidential election were I eligible. I told her who my choice would be, and she then asked me what my religion was. I told her the half truth that I was a non practicing catholic (I am an atheist, but my father was raised catholic) and she said that maybe I should practice. She then asked how i felt on abortion, and i told her briefly and truthfully my views on Roev.Wade Then, she said that there were ''some things I should know'' about my pres. choice. For about 5-10 minutes, she lectured me on abortion, what my candidate wanted to do,and why mothers should carry to term. In short, in no way was the influence related to her teaching duties, which are nonexistent. Was her attempt at influence illegal?

Possibly inappropriate under the circumstances, but I can not say for certain that they were illegal.
