We must not allow ourselves to be ‘owned’ 24/7 by our jobs or the corporation/entities behind them.

PS Travis – the “unconstitutional” argument might possibly apply in the U.S., although doubtful as I have seen numerous similar cases here. The teacher whom this article is in reference to resides in Britain.

And you probably have every right to be suspicious of everyone on the internet. As you see I am Anonymously Yours, I have seen a lot in the trenches and I am sure you have seen a lot in the academic world. Just change the scenario and people are basically the same. Of course with some exceptions and thats why we do what we do.

I have heard through the grave vine that people do not like getting communication from me. I just figured that I was doing my job. One attorney that had been in practice a while said that he was always a little nervous when he received communication from me. I don’t know why. Well maybe I do, I liked to settle matters quick, I do not like to waste my time, unless of course I was wasting it.

In as much, thanks for the free range forum. I will try and not disrespect it too much.

“Jonathan Turley speaks at The Future of Freedom Foundation’s June 2008 conference, “Restoring the Republic 2008: Foreign Policy & Civil Liberties.”

Glenn Greenwald is another presenter.

When sexual mores are founded on first century thinking these are the results you get. Don’t be surprised, but I do suggest you ask your vicar or priest his opinion. I suspect you already know the answer but ask yourself why his answer is in such lockstep with all the other bigots and prudes.

“He can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine…(Sunshine)”
_____________________

When I sing this song, I replace “run” mine in the second phrase with *ruin* mine.

As an LEO, I took an oath that I would never do anything in my personal life that would bring disgrace on my profession and that I would always “act under the color of my uniform” (the law/authority)whenever I was off-duty. That is a reasonable requirement for a career in law enforcement. However, there are other professions, such as teaching, that what employees do on their own time should remain untouchable by their business/school policies unless such actions are clearly illegal and specifically violate stated policies.

This case appears to be fashion/moral ‘police’ dictating and forcing their own morals on this teacher who—by most reasonable standards of decency and conduct—did nothing egregiously wrong.

Wouldn’t such photos make a great gift for one’s husband?

She looks great! Must be some jealous moms out there that found the photos offensive!

What people do in their free time is their personal business. Unless teachers start getting paid for 24 hours a day, I don’t see how any of these firings are legal. Every couple weeks or so, we continue to see these kinds of cases. The masses are frothing at the mouth to have something to be angry about. They destroy these women’s (and men’s probably) careers in the name of decency (“Think of the children!!”). I honestly don’t see why anyone is willing to put up with this, but teachers unions et al. don’t seem too eager to stand up for themselves.
