Not long ago, I read a thread here, I believe, about a woman who worked for a school district, and only as an administrative secretary at the board building, who was fired for violating the morality clause. The fact that she had no contact with the students (not that a lifestyler would worry about that anyway) was completely ignored, even though they cited the "immoral example" she set for students, that parents didn't want a "pervert" working in the education system, etc, etc. She didn't have a leg to stand on, and lost her job. So, yeah... it might just be safer to play your cards close to the vest, so to speak. |
Theres a worse example here in Australia at the moment. a husband and wife, both teachers at the same highschool, "starred" in an interview in cosmo (womens magazine), that delved into their sex lives. they aren't swingers, they just discussed different fantasies, different things they'd tried in the privacy of their own house (eg toys). pretty much a standard married couple.
the fact they were teachers wasn't disclosed in the interview, but when one of the parents of the kids at the school read the article, they complained, and lo and behold, the wife got fired!!!
now the questions i have...
if the parent reading was such a prude, what were they doing reading an article in the sexuality section?
why was only the female of the couple fired? is it ok for a man to have sex with his wife, but not for his wife to ha ve sex with her husband???
and does the education dept. really expect married couples, with kids of their own, to forever be celebate?
