TYT: Teacher Tweets: 'I'm Naked, Wet, & Stoned'

[Demo_Chris]

13. I am torn. While nothing she did was illegal or even (to me) a big deal...

In my opinion she is guilty of terrible judgment and unprofessional conduct. More, and this is the bigger issue to me, if I were her boss after seeing this I could almost certainly expect more issues of this type, and potentially far worse.

I work with kids for a living. And while I have a far more optimistic view of the intelligence and maturity of kids than most adults, things like this are so far over the line that they are almost cringe inducing. If she were a male teacher, posting these kinds of images where students can (and apparently are) accessing them, he would be fired and potentially prosecuted, and no one would bat an eye.

So yeah, I am torn here. And no, I don't really think she is all that attractive, so that's not influencing my judgment.

I would like to see our society move beyond repressive religion based anti-sexual and anti-women bigotry, but I don't think teachers public twitter accounts should be the front lines of that battle.
