These “role model” clauses exist because most teachers are women, and are a holdover from a time when the rules were even more ridiculous. Women used to have to quit teaching once they were married. Some could work once married, but had to quit once they were pregnant because the children couldn’t be taught by a pregnant woman. These rules are ridiculous and paternal and sexist. A teacher once got fired for having a FB picture of herself with a glass of wine in her hand.

  A teacher fiend of mine was panicking about her job because she ran into a parent buying weed (legally). Nothing came of it because the parent , who was obviously also buying weed, never mentioned it but my friend was sure if her principal heard about ti she find herself with a mysterious suspension.

  So in my teaching program we talk a lot about how important it is that teachers live in the same neighborhoods as their students and are part of the community, and I’m always really resistant to that precisely because of stories like this. I want my students to know the bare minimum about my personal life because I don’t want to get fired for something absurd. When I push back on the value of living next to your students I think my profs feel like it’s because of classism, but really I just want to like, get mimosas on a patio on a sunday without being totally terrified I’ll see a parent who will decide to ruin my life because they don’t approve. I’m from a small town and my teaching program is in a very large city, so maybe it’s different for my profs that grew up there, but I know first hand that even your own home is not really a private space when people feel like they have a right to it. And no one feels more like they have a right to know than parents (especially parents in a small town).

“As role models for the school system, students, however, employees are responsible for their public conduct ... even when they are not performing their job duties as employees of the school system.”
OK, so why is anyone coming to her defense. I don’t care if her Facebook account was private, the moment she posted a video of herself pole dancing all bets were off. That’s like sending nude pictures of yourself to a boyfriend or girlfriend, then getting mad when they share them with someone else. Really? Didn’t she think this would happen?

  A fully clothed video of her dancing is like sending nude pics to her boyfriend?
  Are you for real?

Why are they blurring her bottom like she is naked!? Also this culture is so confusing. Schools actively put teenage girls in positions of courtship with school dances. Schools have teams dedicated to dancing and shaking their bodies. But a grown adult woman, privately pole dancing is somehow a bad role model?? A woman’s who privacy was violated ethically is the one that is in the wrong? What sort of role model is this school trying to be! This is exhausting!
Sad thing is that now that she has gone on the news and the video has essentially become public there’s little chance for her getting her job back if she wanted it. She should definitely lawyer up and should have before speaking to the news. If there is one thing everyone can remember 1) Say nothing 2) Document; take notes, correspond by email and/or record videos 2) Get a lawyer.

  She wasn’t going to get her job back before. I read an article a while back about teachers who were suspended pending review (sometimes for years) and most of the suspension was for shit like this. Women who’s exes leaked nudes of them or similar situations. Yet I’ll bet you some of those same school have cops on site with multiple excessive force complaints.

  Didn’t you hear? Women and girls ONLY exist for the pleasure and comfort of men. If that somehow ever leads to any negative consequences for any woman or girl, well! That’s her fault for either being too interested in male pleasure (i.e. A slut) or not interested enough (i.e. She think she better than everybody). You can be both, too, by the way; impossible double standards are the individual woman’s or girl’s problems, nobody else’s.
  (sigh. I so hate this world sometimes.)

But what’s the real tea? And if that’s what the school really told her, how is pole dancing, again a legit bad-ass sport, an issue?
Because strippers happen to practice it sometimes and it is therefore bad and wrong and the children will be corrupted and Jesus wouldn’t like it and etc etc.

Oh good grief. I know somebody who teaches pole dancing classes back home in Tulsa and he’s got more than one church lady who’s signed up. If Oklahoma can deal, then so can North Carolina.

  It’s an increasingly popular form of exercise regimen. Unless she’s doing it naked for money I don’t see any morality issue here whatsoever.

  Who cares if she is doing it naked for money? Kids don’t need to be taught morality, they need to learn math. This is why the USA is increasingly non-competitive worldwide for skilled remote work. No boss cares what you do in your free time, they care if you can program the fucking website.

This is completely fucking insane. I forget people are like this. Meanwhile I know a teacher who reported an administrator for kissing a high school girl, his buddy in the central office ran the the investigation and the whistle blower ended up being on probation. This whole country is out completely backwards.

The linked article says she also teaches pole dancing. Interestingly, that same site has an article about a teacher being allowed to continue teaching even though he wrestles as a Nazi character, complete with the imagery and screaming in German. So that’s ok, but this Black woman pole dancing is not.

14 year olds twerking in mini skirts under the Friday night lights for the entertainment of men is perfectly fine though. School sanctioned even.

  The matching outfits make it acceptable. If this teacher was dancing in a school cheerleading outfit, it would be fine. Family-friendly, even.

who are her aint shit fb “friends” who told? This is why 1) my real FB page has only people I know/knew in real life (I admit it could have been one of these jokers for her Im merely stating this one as a helping to hide) 2) have no one from my job on there and 3) I do not list where I work. I see so many people listed their jobs on the info page and im like whyyyy ? Bare minimum.. I feel sorry for the person who reported her, in a you are truly miserable type way, I guess pathetic pity I feel.Here is my thing, what did they gain by making this woman potentially lose her job? I hope she somehow finds out who did it
