Students have come out in support of a teacher who was suspended from her job after she posted half-naked photos of herself on Twitter and joked about teenager being 'jail bait'. Carly McKinney, a math teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado, was placed on paid administrative leave on Tuesday after admitting to a local TV station that she created the Twitter account with the help of a friend.

Since then a campaign using the hashtag #freecrunkbear has started on Twitter to have her reinstated.

Support: Students have backed Carly McKinney who was suspended from her job after she posted half-naked photos of herself on Twitter Students have also said that they don't think McKinney should be punished for what she pursues in her free time outside of school hours. 'It's a teacher that's only five or six years older than our oldest students,' an Overland High School student named Shaun told 9News. 'So we kind of relate to her on a personal level.'

The account, CarlyCrunkBear (@crunk_bear), which has since been taken down, included explicit photos of the blonde teacher along with multiple posts about smoking marijuana on school grounds. It came to light after 9News was tipped off about the account by a viewer on Monday. McKinney later admitted to the TV station that she was behind the tweets.

One post read: 'Naked. Wet. Stoned,' while another said: 'Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot.'

The first-year teacher and a friend claimed that the Twitter account was intended as a parody

Innocent! (always until proven guilty of course)

She’s my age and already screwed up her life. Takes a liberal to be that ambitious!

She's definitely hot!

But...

She's just too stupid to be teaching.

I believe that's the point of taking her off the job?

No court in North America will convict. Double secret probation in judges chambers...time served!

Sounds like she’s in the wrong profession.

Now, there's nothing there that isn't seen in an average magazine, folks. Just some bare shoulders. The mind does tend to wander, though.

But she's certainly a 'tard.

Fortunately for her, Shotgun Willie's is always looking for new talent.

Girl Gone Wild: McKinney joked on her 'parody' Twitter account that she was grading papers while high and kept a stash of marijuana in her car on school property

So these kids identify with a skank who posts half naked pictures of herself on the internet. Great. We really are teaching our kids morals.
