if this was a white male teacher it would be a completely differently headline

I’m so fuckin sick of people acting like that others’ personal lives done in the privacy of their homes are harmful to children. KIDS DON’T CARE!!!! I hope other people stand up for this woman and help her get her job back. 

Agreed 100%. Teachers are one of the few jobs that has ridiculous standards to uphold, since we interact with kids.

Yet I can work with white men who literally make creepy comments about their students (especially girls and/or out-queer kids), who talk about really inappropriate topics with female colleagues, who make really sexist comments about their own spouses, and bring their relationship troubles to the fucking classroom. And I’ve never once seen these guys (in any school I’ve been in) get hit with so much as a fucking warning.

But teachers who aren’t men, aren’t white, and/or aren’t straight get slammed when we do anything outside of work, on our own time, and out of the view of children. And our society makes a lot of this shit taboo, which is ludicrous. Teachers who engage in sex work or writing erotica novels are not bringing that to class; the kids don’t fucking care. 

(And the kids who do care are the ones that go searching that shit up intentionally as a means to mess with your at-school life. You know, the students who engage in harassment campaigns.)

Fuck’s sake. If I hired for my school, I’d offer her a damn job. (But I’ve got so much not nice to say about that situation at the moment.)

TLDR: You want to police my Out of Work Life? You fucking pay me for my Out of Work Hours. Otherwise, kindly keep to my 9-5 life and fuck off.
