Teacher fired because of her personal website

Heather Weathers (I know--it's a great name) is a New Orleans feminist artist. After Katrina hit, she had to live in Lafayette, where she was hired by the Lafayette Parish School Board to teach at Comeaux High School. But after one week, Weathers was fired when the principal saw her website.

It is unknown whether the principal objected to Weathers' feminism, her explicit art, or both, though my best guess is that he objected to the explicit art, and it didn't help that it was feminist. Weathers has filed suit with the ACLU and is seeking compensation for lost wages, earning opportunity and benefits, as well as emotional distress.

That's what I call helping each other out during a disaster.

5 Comments:

Evidently, the distance between New Orleans and Lafayette is about 100 years. If she worked for a school district in San Francisco or some other civilized place, there might not have been so much as a whimper about her style. Whatever happened to the premise that adults have the right to pursue a life outside their occupation so long as it's legal? In any event, I think she should sue their pants off... to coin a phrase.
