A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

          Not the argument I’m making. Just that questionable moral choices in people’s private lives shouldn’t affect employment if the consumer is inherently unaffected by the behavior in their personal lives. I think the more talented you are and the better you are at your job, the more protection you should have. Like, for example, Elvis was so talented he gets a pass for fucking kids. Meryl Streep can choke kittens to death at this point.

          I don’t actually think Jonathan Majors did anything wrong, even and especially if he got physical with some jealous histrionic drunk slut trying to snoop in his phone. All he did was revoke a pussy pass. He should be considered a feminist icon for that, along with Johnny Depp and Sean Connery. He’s too hot and talented to cancel.

          but more than anything else, in the same way I want to give the middle finger to moralizing prudes who don’t like to admit that teachers are often total sluts, I want to give the middle finger to white knights who want to cancel celebrities for petty arguments.

          Or even… hmm… maybe… maybe both of them engaged in unprofessional behavior unbecoming… nah fuck that I don’t care, I just want more superhero movies and porn and don’t care about moral hazard.

        Yet in one of these situations no one was harmed and in another a lot of harm was done to other people.

      In this case I think it is.

      It’s not that she’s a sex worker that’s the issue it’s the fact that teens can barely keep their head clear is they have a cute teacher they could picture naked. That effect would be 1000% worse if you can simply give your teacher five bucks to slap her kitty while saying your a great student.

        This is like blaming the victim for being shot. It’s a 100% the guy with the gun

          It’s not at all the same.

          In this case she would be the victim and the shooter. She shot herself in the foot, there are hundreds of ways to spoliate identity effectively on onlyfans and she chose not to. She knew her fan ase and took advantage then claimed to be the victim.

          If it weren’t a teacher pandering customized pornography to underage school children would it be ok? I’m gunna guess no, it’s essentially pedophilia at distance.

      That’s not how public school teachers operate.

      For example, you’re not allowed to be visibly drunk in public if you are a public school teacher.

      There are good reasons for this. Teachers are supposed to be role models for students, so seeing one passed out in the gutter isn’t acceptable.

      If you don’t like it, then don’t become a public school teacher. There are plenty of other jobs you can do.
