Retired schoolteacher of around 25 years. Blah blah blah. Yes, we have no private lives. I was warned of that every year. She did nothing wrong. More importantly, ask why she had to supplement her income. I would not be able to survive on what I would be making today.

Supplement?
If this is the one from a while ago, she was making 40k teaching and 120k on OF...
The only reason she kept teaching was she actually likes teaching.
But yeah, the best thing for a country long term is if educators are some of the highest paid positions. The investment into the next generation is one of the biggest pay offs. There's a lot of geniuses out there that just get a dog shit education and never live up to their potential.
Too many adults/voters just don't see the benefit of investing in the future
The investment into the next generation is one of the biggest pay offs
It would be nice for the peasants but the country is not ran for wage slaves' benefit
It's especially criminal how teachers salaries have been allowed to outright stagnate over god knows how long.
About 50 years. That's how long.
I almost changed careers to teaching and dodged a bullet. Still a very worthwhile masters with the combination of philosophy, psychology, statistics and data interpretation ,management, and assesment. Its really an incredible field and its to bad it gotten such a short shrift.
It's sad that a teacher could possibly have no private life. It's even more questionable how the account was "found". I see no one is mentioned as having found it and reported it.
I think it was foolish of the district to fire her; if no student knew about it. The article also neglects to mention parental outrage; so it would seem that not even a parent discovered this either.
If all of this was done explicitly outside of the school, off grounds, and not mentioned ever; it makes no sense other than a few adults finding it awkward.
If the students didn’t know about it before…. They do now.
Exactly. That firing does the harm they were trying to prevent.
The Streisand Effect
Missouri is a very conservative place. They would see this as too scandalous, think her to be an immortal person, and not fit to be around children. I'm not saying it's right, just the perspective of the majority in that area of the country.
Funny how this logic is never applied to pedohile clergy
an immortal person, and not fit to be around children
Nobody wants vampires around their kids!
But seriously, though, the people you're describing sound like they'd be right at home in Iran—moreso than a lot of Iranians.
I live there. It sucks.
Missouri is deeply stupid. But not "conservative". And I say that as a lifelong resident. Talk about any liberal, progressive, or possibly socialist policy in isolation. Most Missourians would find them favorable. The biggest trick is to avoid their programmed triggers. If you can navigate around their programming. You will get rational and reasonable responses most times. But that's the trick. So many of them are so heavily programmed and tightly wound. That rationality is almost a foregone conclusion out of reach.
As someone who lives in missouri, its PAINFUL how accurate this is
It's probably a clause in her contract.
I seriously doubt that. You're putting way too much stock in that BOE to have sane practices like making their rules known ahead of time.
Yeah it's most likely she didn't know they would fire her if they found out she was also an adult entertainer.
Even if it's buried in her contract; it isn't something that's typically discussed; and I doubt that they even so much as warned her once they found out. Literally she has the grounds for a lawsuit, but probably could care less as she makes better bank on OF anyways.
Assuming it’s anything like the multiple ones I’ve signed, the morality clause is not buried in the contract. She would have had to sign that specific section saying she understood it.
She rolled the dice and took her chances, but she got busted.
Sex work is work and no one should be shamed for it.
Fully agree. If no one is getting hurt and all are consenting adults then no one has any right to criticize.
We should all be shamed by teachers’ salaries.
How many people in Missouri railing against her are also subscribed to her? I bet it's a lot.
Speaking of which, here's an oldie but goodie:
As it turned out, people in Utah County, a place that often boasts of being the most conservative area in the nation, were disproportionately large consumers of the very videos that prosecutors had labeled obscene and illegal. And far more Utah County residents were getting their adult movies from the sky or cable than they were from the stores owned by Larry Peterman.
