Idaho Teacher Fired Over Facebook Photo

  • GoChiefs
    It was deemed "immoral". Her fiance, also a teacher and coach, was able to keep his job.

    Firing justified?

    Not sure why the fuck it is the school's business.

    Agreed. But if they are going to fire her, I am not sure why the dude gets to keep his job. I didn't read the article, but it seems like BS.

    Solid reasoning...fire two people over an innocent photo.

    Yeah, especially when he is the one doing the grabbing!

    Total bullshit on the school's part.

    I am not saying either should be fired. Just don't understand why she was fired but he was not.

    Because she posted it and he didn't is my guess. The fact that someone was fired over this is beyond retarded. What **** of a parent took the time to send this to the school? What type of person is offended by a woman and her fiance having fun on vacation?

    I'd hit it.

    Without reading the link I was assuming this had to be a religious school. I can't believe a public school did this... well I mean I guess I can believe it as the idiots running public schools are indeed idiots. But the word immoral made me think religious snobishness.
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    "anonymously delivered" that's fucking enraging. The piece of shit **** didn't even have the balls to attach their name to it.

    Whoever sent it deserves to be fired and hit by a bus on the same day. People in this country get so pissed about things like the NSA then do shit like this. We should attach people like this to the drones we use to bomb the middle east.

    Correct, but he did receive a written reprimand! What's bullshit is it was posted in July, then, after the AD said something to the coach about removing it just to avoid any problems, it was removed less than 24 hours later. Then nothing was done until late October???

    It appears to be a public school.

    Well the firing is absolutely stupid but I'm just glad they have white skin so I won't have to here about it on CNN for the next 3 months.

    sad but true

    Another example in a long line of people posting stupid/irresponsible shit on Facebook.

    Yeah, getting fired is bullshit but at the same time she's a dumbass for putting it up there. It's a little different when you're a teacher vs. a Walmart stockboy.

    She can't put a vacation picture of her and her fiance up on her personal facebook page? You're an idiot.

    Yet she's the one without a job.

    I agree that firing her over this picture due to an anonymous busybody is way too harsh, but teachers need to realize they live in the bizarro world of zero tolerance policies and all kids of other PC garbage. If I were in that line of work, I don't know that I'd be on Facebook, or at the very least, be extremely cautious with my friending and security options.

    It was up for 1 day 4 months ago. It's not like his dick is between her tits.

    LOL, perfect example of why these dumbasses keep losing their jobs - they DON'T THINK (like you, apparently).

    1. Make FB page private
    2. Make photos private, or only viewable to your friends (even if you're tagged in someone else's photo)
    3. Keep job

    Yes, she was stupid for exactly 1 day and it ultimately cost her her job.

    Because my personal life shouldn't have an bearing on my job. So if his hand was on her waist it's fine? What about that picture says "I might get fired for this"

    "Because she posted it and he didn't is my guess."

    That would also be my guess. On the one hand the firing seems over the top, on the other is it THAT difficult not to post stuff like this on FB? Even without the "boob grab" people have to consider what they are wearing (or not wearing) for public photos.

    And I agree that if I was a teacher I'm not sure I would even be on FB and certainly wouldn't be friends with students.

    No argument from me over the content. To anyone without a stick jammed WAY too far up their ass, it's a harmless picture of two young adults having some fun at the beach.

    I don't think she should have been fired... but she should have been aware that posting the photo could possibly get he fired. She should at the very least have her page private and not be friends with any parents/students.

    But yeah she's pretty good looking.
