Yup.
The secretary at the school that fingered the teacher as an 'infidel' obviously had some sort of axe to grind and saw her opportunity.
This kind of crap can happen anywhere where there's individuals who use social taboos as leverage when they're determined to give their 'foes' a hard time. People who accuse their spouses of child abuse in divorce situations, for example, generally can create a great deal of trouble, even if the accused ex is completely innocent, because EVERYONE is against child abuse. So it puts the accused in the difficult position of having to prove that they aren't guilty, and even if acquitted, sometimes the stigma of having BEEN accused lingers.
