Well, that is a fact underlying my point. My point is that the fact that she broke the accepted social mores in that county is the only point. Everything else is rationalisation by people trying to kid themselves there is some reason to fire her other than to enforce yer basic everyday slut shaming.
That’s true. However, to continue the point: There are many professions that one can work at even if one has broken “accepted social mores”. But public school teacher is not one of them. Believe me, I live in a very liberal area, and even here parents have a low tolerance for any perceived issues in their kids’ teacher’s behavior.
Yes, people express bigotry more freely when they can bolster their bigotry with ,“Who’ll think of the chillllldruuuunnn?” Doesn’t make it right.
Tell me about it. My wife is a teacher. The school board is terrified of the parents, and this is in the San Francisco Bay Area.
That isn’t a continuation of my point.
Nor does your announcing your opinion make the situation wrong.
You’re right. I should have said: “That’s true. However, the case remains that: . . .”
What part of my contention that this is an instance of bigotry against a sex worker do you not understand?
Which wouldn’t have improved the position. The use of “however” would imply you were raising a counterpoint to what I said. You weren’t.
Ridiculous. The laws are certainly there, but that doesn’t mean they are infallible. They simply aren’t.
If this woman was good at her job/s, without them interfering with one another – and I can’t see how, as if kids don’t access all sorts of 'net porn now a days – then there’s simply the 'conflict caused by the absurd ‘moral’ law itself.
Think about it, she could have been a ‘slut’ outside of school anyway, film or no film. As for sure many, many male & female teachers are.
Who cares as long as she did the right thing in her classroom?
The “good at her job” thing has been raised a few times— which is of course a desirable quality in an employee under any circumstances.
Once your private life becomes a distraction and an embarrassment— whether it’s porn, or video of you showing your wang at Spring Break or stumbling around drunk on YouTube, etc.— that’s no longer enough. You’d better be better than good, you’d better be irre-freakin’-placable at what you do if you expect employers to deal with the fallout of continuing to employ you. This teacher wasn’t.
For those of you defending her, is all behavior out of the classroom to be considered off-limits? If someone unearthed videos of her jackbooting around at Klan rallies and singing tearful YouTube ballads to her BFF Hitler, or maybe demonstrating her favorite methods of self-cutting, would there still be no cause to worry whether she’s the best candidate to teach young kids?
