The Q is posed about a New York state school social worker being told she 
can't use the school building to nurse her 3-month-old on breaks ... while 
the car in the parking lot is OK.

The responses here on Lactnet have been great.

What this mom needs is a lawyer, or a union rep. if she is unionized, to go 
to bat for her with her school administrators.  This is about her conditions 
of employment -- it is not about BF.  If this is "subtle discrimination" 
against the mother (because she is BF) -- then it is still an employment law 
matter.  If there has been a change in school policy (no kids in the 
building for a rational reason we don't know about) then she still needs a 
"professional ally" to help convince her supervisors that the rule can be 
safely bent in this case.
