What medical information? The teacher made no diagnosis. The kid ate glue. That's not medical; that's observational. If you are going to claim its medical, then you need to provide the doctor's records to back that up or else anything can be claimed to be medical and thus off limits for review.

If she had released his grades, then you you would have a point about violation of trust. However, he was in a room with 20 or 30 other people and there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in that situaiton. Every student in the class could see him eating glue and would know that he was a loner. The teacher revealed nothing that his classmates could not have (and probably did repeatedly) and she didn't reveal it until after he made himself a target by reaching the pinnacle of American politics. For better or worse, politics is a blood sport, and if they can't take the heat, they need to stay out of the kitchen.

As for your claim of relevance, when you are an advisor in the Whitehouse or the President or in Congress or on SCOTUS, then everything about you is relevant because it all effects or demonstrates how you think and that effects the decisions you will make.
