Lauren sent her boyfriend a private topless photo. Then she was fired.

This Teacher Was Fired After a Student Found a Topless Photo of Her. Demand the School Board Give Lauren Her Job Back. Sign Now Dear friends, In 2016, New York math teacher Lauren Miranda began dating another teacher in the school district. During their courtship, she sent the teacher a topless selfie from her cellphone. She didn't post the photo anywhere. It was a private communication between two consenting adults, that had nothing to do with anyone else. But somehow, that private photo ended up costing Lauren her job. Please sign this petition demanding that the South Country School District Board of Education give Lauren Miranda her job back now. Although Lauren meant for the photo to be private between her and her partner at the time, a male student at the school ended up getting access to it. It's unclear how he obtained it. But instead of just being a humiliating experience, the unfortunate incident ended up costing Lauren her livelihood. She was first put on administrative leave, and then the school board fired her, saying that the photo made her a bad role model for her students. Schools shouldn't be in the habit of policing what teachers do in their own homes or in their romantic lives. What Lauren Miranda does in her personal life is her business. Yes, teachers are held to certain standards as role models to impressionable young minds — but sending a topless photo in a private message to a romantic partner does not cross that line. Lauren wasn't accused of acting inappropriately at school, treating her students poorly, or even of committing a crime. She just took a selfie that was only ever intended for an audience of one. The photo was never meant to be seen by her students, and Lauren had every reason to believe that it never would be. She should not be punished for this. Lauren Miranda should never have been fired. Sign the petition and urge the South Country School District Board of Education to give Lauren Miranda her job back now. Thank you,   Aarti K. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Sure, sending nude photos isn't everyone's style, but it's certainly not unheard of. It's not even uncommon. And it's definitely not illegal. Sign now to demand Lauren be rehired.
