Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

Sex work is real, valid work.
There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
"But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

I'm saying people with different beliefs have the same rights and can use them according to their beliefs.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

First tell me why you should be able to infringe on people's rights because of your beliefs instead of generally recognized protections. You know, the same point homophobes make to not serve gay people.

Don't worry. I'm not making a comparison 😉

You know, the same point homophobes make to not serve gay people.

Except the cases about homophobes refusing to serve gay people aren't about refusing to serve gay people generally - they're about refusing to engage in speech they oppose on commission. The case with the homophobic baker wasn't refusing to sell a gay couple a cake off the shelf - they were refusing to accept a commission to create a custom cake, and a lot of their argument was over whether or not a cake design is speech in the same way an artwork is and whether the 1st Amendment trumps anti-discrimination laws.
