I’m curious. Those of you okay with teachers doing Only Fans, where do you draw the line? Group sex, Running Trains, ATM, DAP, Getting Air-Tight with the Atlanta Falcons? At what point to you admit you don’t want this person near your children?

Never said it was – just that “hiding identity” does not equal “shame.”

Even three at a time, that would be one long video.

While I don’t know what “air-tight” means, I’m okay with all of those things being done by a consenting adult, whether they’re my kid’s teacher, rabbi, or mail carrier.

When the conduct directly (unlike the White Slave fantasies that are above) effects their ability to teach.

Well, there’s two issues there. One is doing those things. With the exception of the Atlanta Falcons, I can guarantee with near-certainty that there’s a teacher doing those things at this moment. By the numbers, almost certainly one of your (general) teachers or your (general) childrens’ engaged in those behaviors. Seems like a moot point.

Posting it online? If they’re actively trying to protect themselves and their professional lives (like one of the teachers in question, who was apparently outed by someone who recognized her husband’s dick or something equally disturbing), I honestly don’t give a fuck. When it comes into the classroom, that’s where the issue occurs. Strangely enough, that didn’t happen in either of the original cases, either.

Well, if you take 28-3, what do you get?

So, there are things that you can image being posted where your child could come across them, or even hear about them in class-room gossip that would directly effect their ability to teach? Even if done by consenting adults?

You owe all the Falcons fans here a sincere apology. That’s just brutal.

That would be the conduct of people that are not the teacher.  
IOW, what happens outside of the classroom (I’ll grant there are certainly exceptions) stays outside of the classroom.

I don’t think the kids were expelled because their mother does OnlyFans. The mom was told she couldn’t have her car in the pick-up lane because of the sticker with her OnlyFans link in the rear window, and told that she would have to park across the street and pick-up her kids. Things escalated because she demanded they provide a staffer to act as crossing guard and they refused, and when she got the media involved they booted her family. There’s apparently an agreement parents sign saying they’ll adhere to the schools moral standards, which they feel she doesn’t meet.

I apologize. I’m also trying to come up with a non-Pit, but thread-appropriate joke for what Tom Brady did to the Falcons over the course of 72 minutes on national television. That’s posted online for EVERYONE to see, including kids. Won’t someone think of the children?

Teachers already have to cover up too many parenting failures in the classroom. Why do you insist on adding their private lives to that as well?

Umm, the example was “class-room gossip” I’m really not sure anyone here wants to advocate that a malicious rumor campaign should be grounds for termination.

We’d better knock it off before the mod comes in and boots this thread to The Game Room.

I honestly don’t think I could do any more to undercut your case than you’re doing, so I’m happy to let you proceed.

Is what she did dangerous?  
And I fail to see why posting sex with one’s husband on OF being more despicable or dangerous than working for an anti-vaxx place or polluting or supporting polluters. If people like that got treated half as badly as OFers who don’t hurt anyone we’d have a better society.

You’re just saying that because you’re all hopped up on the ~~goofballs~~ porn you . . . wait, do you smoke or inject porn?
