April 20, 200917 yr How many of you would be ok with it if the cheerleading coach were a male, and had posed for Play Girl? I, personally, don't care what they do with their own time, as long as it's legal. If they want to pose, so be it. If it doesn't affect their ability as a coach, and as long as they are good with my children, then what they do on their own time is their business.

Where I personally disagree is if it is my child and they are looking up to this person and find out about whatever it is they are doing then that is a concern to me.
April 20, 200917 yr This is pathetic. She did nothing wrong. What she did was not illegal. The question then becomes whether or not what she did is immoral. I say no, but that's a matter of opinion I guess.
April 20, 200917 yr Where I personally disagree is if it is my child and they are looking up to this person and find out about whatever it is they are doing then that is a concern to me. I understand what you are saying. But, to me, if my child came up to me and asked me about it, I would just explain that the coach is an adult, and they made a choice, and it was theirs to make.
April 20, 200917 yr Come on Clyde. You can't be serious comparing the two. The last time I checked alcohol consumption is illegal for high school kids. The poster's point was that you can't expect one standard of behavior from the students but not adults/teachers. Incorrect.
April 20, 200917 yr Once again, we were talking about racy pictures. Please keep up. In your mind is "nude" potentially different than "racy?"

April 20, 200917 yr In the April edition of GQ lying on my night stand there are several pictures of women in bathing suits that I'm sure are considered racy. I've seen many pictures of teachers out enjoying the sun that are essentially the same. I don't think a teacher should be fired for something like that (though I also don't see why they should be fired for posing nude). The bold part of your statement is Puritanical thinking....something I wouldn't expect from a guy discussing women in sun dresses in another thread. That's where my mind and your mind are obviously way different. There is a huge difference in appreciating the beauty of ladies in sun dresses over watching horses than lusting after a woman in a Play Boy magazine. Not everyone has their minds in the gutter, but obviously you have a one track mind.
April 20, 200917 yr In your mind is "nude" potentially different than "racy?" No, not really. The goal is the same thing IMO. I wouldn't want my daughter posing for either.

I think you are missing clyde's point. Posing nude over age 18-legal Posing nude under age 18-illegal Smoking over age 18-legal Smoking under age 18-illegal Drinking over age 21- legal Drinking under age 21-illegal Gambling over age 21-legal Gambling under age 21- legal Do you see what we're getting at? Should a teacher be fired for smoking on there own free time? Drinking on there own free time? Gambling on there free time? The teacher committed no illegal act and I'd be willing to guess there will be a wrongful termination suit with a likely settlement:thumb:
April 20, 200917 yr No, not really. The goal is the same thing IMO. I wouldn't want my daughter posing for either. Although I wouldn't want my daughter to pose either, the fact is that once she becomes an adult, there is nothing I can do about it. It is her person, her right, to do so if she chooses. We do not have to agree with everything that others do, but we should accept the fact that they have the right to do such things. And for us to condemn them by taking away their livelyhood is wrong, IMHO.

April 20, 200917 yr No, not really. The goal is the same thing IMO. I wouldn't want my daughter posing for either. I'm confused. Would you consider posing for pictures in a swimsuit as racy? If so, I assume you'll never let your daughter go to a beach....

I may be wrong. IMO a coach should be held to high standards. If the coach's drinking episodes were posted all over the internet for students to see then I would feel the same way.
April 20, 200917 yr I'm confused. Would you consider posing for pictures in a swimsuit as racy? If so, I assume you'll never let your daughter go to a beach.... Not sure what you're getting at here. There are plenty of swimsuits for young ladies to wear that don't reveal everything that needs to be covered.
