They left out the most obvious question that needed to be asked.

 

How did you find these pictures? :sssh:

I used Google to get the rest of the story. I have to admit that she probably should have been fired.

Did she pose nude before she was hired for the job? Or was it while she was working for the school? I don't know if they said, I might have missed that.

 

Would it make a difference either?

 

I don't think it should make a difference. Obviously the school is worried about the morality issue. They want their students to make morally wise decisions. It wasn't like her views changed over night when she became a cheerleading coach, in fact I believe that she said she didn't regret doing it. I think the school did the right thing, but does anyone think that maybe the school knew after they had hired her and was just going to ignore it until it became public?

I definately believe the coach was turned in over the girl not being allowed to try out. I also think that the coach should be fired.

 

I agree. The fact is that the girls on the squad are expected to live up to a standard, which includes no nude pictures on the internet. Same should apply to the coach and in this case, was applied properly IMHO.

I see no reason why she needed to be fired. In my mind this is the same logic that was used to try and prevent homosexuals from teaching. If she was doing a good job this doesn't affect it in any way.

 

Also, why is posing nude so wrong?

 

I'm asking this honestly.

How does it not make a difference? A school has the ability to run a background check on someone before they hire them. If they hire someone with what should be a full knowledge of prior activities, that's on their head. Now, they at least have a leg to stand on if it took place afterwards.

 

Personally, I don't really think she should be fired, but I have no problem with it either as long as there were provisions for it in the code of conduct or a similar document she signed/accepted when she took the job.

This is tough because lets face it we all would enjoy looking at her nude photos....but at the same time most coaches and teachers have a moral terpitude clause in the contract they sign. While I certainly support her right to appear nude you cannot blame the school for firing her. They can not win in that situation. Also I do agree that the mom and dad only brought this up when the daughter was booted off the squad.

 

I guess the dad was glad the guy did not ask if he enjoyed looking at the pictures before they turned her in.

You've sparked my interest.

 

What's the rest of the story?

What is so immoral about what she did?

My buddy said he read something about this on Homer's 1530 blog yesterday and it provided a link to more of the story. I will not post the link, but I guess she can be hired out for "personal photo shoots" (whatever that means)...so it was more than just being a Playboy model.

 

I am not sure if that changes any of your minds about it. And I am also not sure if that is what Wireman was referring too.

Doing a background check on Carlie Becker would have made her look all fine and dandy...doing one on Carlie Christine might have turned up of few more things.

I'm fairly certain a name change would turn up in a background check, enabling them to check the other name.

I am sure you are right...I am really not familiar with all that.

I wouldn't want my 16 year old daughter being coached/mentored by someone who thinks it is ok to pose nude.

I'm torn on this one and I guess we all have a line of delineation.

 

The act of posing itself doesn't cause me great concern.

 

However, as a principal or a parent I would have a concern over this being a distraction and having it impair her ability to teach POTENTIALLY.

 

I lean towards this not being a fire-able offense.
