Tell you what, I'd be pissed if that was my teacher that got fired.

Teacher reportedly fired after Playboy past revealed

Interestingly, seems the parents and kids support the teacher.

BTW, here's her pic if you don't care about the story. SFW. Picture

Depends, did she lie on the job application? If so, she deserved to be fired. If the application was written in a manner which she did not have to disclose the photo shoot, shame on the school system.

Nothing new here, people have been fired for being porn stars in the past.

Good point and the article didn't go into that, at least I didn't see that explained in the article. I wonder if the photoshoot even needed to be disclosed? Do teachers have an over arching employment clause that says they have to disclose "any and all" things that may be embarrassing to the school?

If she did lie then she's a moron since these days it's so easy to find stuff like this out.

Dumb. She should sue.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

I've never seen a job that asked if you posed racy pictures in your past. This is soo stooopid. It sounds more to me like she wouldn't give it up to the principle or someone in charge of firing. And some fat or insecure parents want to keep her out.

Unless she's f*cking the students (which would have been a dream come true for us guys) or stripping in class or dressing too provacative then they had absloutely NO reason to fire her.

The only way I'll agree with this is if she's a liberal. Horrible, yes, but true.

Doing a photo shoot as a 1099 does not constitute as "employment", it constitutes as "taxable income". My hunch is the school system didn't ask and she didn't tell. School system's fault.

Sounds plausable and if true, she's going to probably sue. Just wondering if, in this day and age, people should disclose this sort of thing since it's so damn easy for this stuff to make the news with one simple web search. Not saying she is legally obligated to reveal this info, but maybe it's a smart move for others in her situation to consider.

Just to point this out, there are a lot of states where you can be fired at will.

It is Texas, a right-to-work state. You can get fired for anything. Believe me, I have fired people for no real reason, other than I felt like it that day.

And, she's smoking hot. Wowza!

Doesn't Columbia university have a convicted murderer on its staff?

True, but that doesn't prevent the fired person from filing a wrongful termination suit, does it?

Yup.

You'd have to show some kind of tort to come back at them.

Makes you wonder why she can get fired for this, but that teacher up north who kicked the girl out of class for wearing a Romney shirt can keep her job, even after telling her to remove her shirt.

That would depend on wether or not you are asserting a violation of Federal employment law.

If you are in a state where you have employment at will legislation you have no recourse, Federal or State, if you are fired because your boss doesn't like your hair or just flat doesn't like you, or is worried your history in pornography reflects poorly on the institution.

I'd say its due to differences in State law and also tenure/contractual issues.

Yeah well, I think it's cockeye reDICKuli.

Once the Playboy stuff was found it it could create a undercurrent of gossip around the school and might be disruptive.

That said if she completed her degree, she behaves and dresses appropriately for the teaching profession, and has had good reviews, she shouldn't have been fired for something she did in the past.

The at-will laws probably wouldn't have protected the district if they used it fire a transgender or a lousy teacher.
