suppose someone take a photo of me at a bachelor party, digital cameras and phones with cameras are everywhere, and post it on the net. my employer should be able to fire me for that?
I dunno. Guess it would depend on how dressed, or undressed a person was:

Stop, you're kilning me. Now she's in deep frit.

Guess it does not take much to get art teachers fired up about ceramics equipment.

Just another middle-age dyke teacher. One of many.

Just like you can quit your job for any reason or no reason, your boos can fire you for any reason or no reason.

a "morals clause" is open ended. some employer might think its "immoral" to be a republican, so I guess they can fire people for posting on FR too.

She needs to get an attorney. I can't believe they are firing her for that.

The "partner" is named "Celesta Danger". It appears to be another woman.

The chick's a lesbo and a pornographer. Why can't people just keep their private lives, private??

Nice teacher material.

Looks like a portfolio for a no-talent artist-wanna-be.
I'd guess the partner (scary, top row third sheet?) is about as bright as talented...
Although the jockey shorts shot is pretty deadening....the rest is just about what you could expect from a high school art class.
Any word on the age of the "partner"?

The whole thing, including the spat over ceramics, is ridiculous.

I had one teacher back about 9000 years ago named Mrs. Melton (yes, that was her actual name, and she looked like she was melting) who was an exact clone for Helen Thomas. And what she would do without fail if a kid didn`t bring in his homework or mouthed off, was grab the hair at the back of your neck...Not the long hair, but the short baby hair that grows right at the brain stem, and she would twist and pull it, almost rip it out and it hurt like all hell, like a sonofabitch!! Try it yourself, try ripping it out and you`ll see how much that hurts..And you can bet once that happened to you, you made daaamn damn damn sure you never missed that damn homework again! This was New york city schools back in the 1960`s. Now I hear the kids get to call the teachers "bitches" and every other name in the book, and if the teacher lays even one finger on a kid, the lawsuits pour in faster than water from a New Orleans dam.

You think that`s bad though, my mother grew up in Edinburgh Scotland. They use to make her put her hands together and whip the crap out of them with a leather belt, and that is just for the girls! The boys use to get tea and biscuits beforehand like you would give a cigarette to someone about to face the firing squad, and they would get their bare naked arses whipped like they do in Singapore.

That may all seem over the top today, but it shows how over the top today litigation has gone. When a kid can call a teacher a "bitch" and you can`t whup that punk upside the head, something is equally seriously wrong here.

Depends on what kind of agreement you and your employer have and what kind of job.

As has been noted, no one has a constitutional right to a job just as no one has a constitutional right to be a police officer or a major league ball player.

Their company (or school), their rules.

She better hope for pro-bono, because she is going to lose if she fights it.

A few of my friends are teachers, one of them (actually today) was talking to one of his students and the student tolk him how his dad told him back in the day that teachers could hit kids or give them a swift smack in the back of the head for doing things or mouthing off.

My friend told the kid, that years ago that was true.

From what my friend told me, the student look puzzeled and said "if a teacher smacked me in the head, I'd beat them with a bat in the parking lot till they couldn't breath.....kids years ago were pu$$#%s."

My friend shook his head, but he told me its true, in between the slap and the lawsuit, the teacher probably wouldn't have any teeth today.

I cant possibly see how the nudes could have been considered erotic!

God, lesbians are dreary. They always seem to look like the human version of a garage sale.
