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...

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. "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.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

So my initial reaction was I wouldn't want that teacher. Then I actually thought about it try to find valid arguments for my position and I found none. So here's my opinion.

There are two main issues here:

  1. Teachers are payed way too little for the work that they do;
  2. Sex (talk, work, etc.) still has a stigma associated with it.

This whole situation is a symptom of that. I still think an employer has the right to choose the employees just as I get to choose my social circle. I wouldn't want to be associated with Nazis or KKK. Similar reasoning can be applied to employers.

Now is this situatios fair? Abslosutely no. Should this outcome be expected? Saldy, yes. Until there's a major economic and societal shift in values, these things are to be expected and will happen again.

Good on you for recognizing you were coming to conclusions based on your early conditioning/training. You should try to take it a little further. If you are going to make an enlightened decision about sex work, why go back to the puritan stone age by drawing comparisons to the Nazis or the KKK?

Like when you say you believe an employer has the right to choose their employees, I doubt you are saying you believe an employer has the right to not hire certain minorities. Or that they don't have to hire women if they don't want to deal with being short-handed during a pregnancy, you see where this is going I'm sure.

No shitty outcome should ever be expected.

Well yes, I didn't go in details or nuances. The line for me is whether or not the "group" in question is actively destructive.
