Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

Sex work is real, valid work.
There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
"But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

Clearly much worse than what my highschool math teacher did, which was have sex with students

So my initial reaction was I wouldn't want that teacher. Then I actually thought about it try to find valid arguments for my position and I found none. So here's my opinion.

There are two main issues here:

Teachers are payed way too little for the work that they do;
Sex (talk, work, etc.) still has a stigma associated with it.

This whole situation is a symptom of that. I still think an employer has the right to choose the employees just as I get to choose my social circle. I wouldn't want to be associated with Nazis or KKK. Similar reasoning can be applied to employers.

Now is this situatios fair? Abslosutely no. Should this outcome be expected? Saldy, yes. Until there's a major economic and societal shift in values, these things are to be expected and will happen again.

Unpopular Lemmy opinion: A HIGH SCHOOL teacher shouldn't be making easy to find, non-anonymous porn

Can you expand on why? Is it because her students still aren’t legally allowed to view her content? Because she isn’t bringing the content into the classroom?
