    More importantly, pay teachers what they’re worth and they won’t have to resort to things like OnlyFans to make up the difference.

      I think that is complimentary to what I’m saying. Absolutely pay teachers more, but if she was paid really well as a teacher and still decided to do OnlyFans, that should be none of the school corporation’s business.

        IMO nobody’s social media of any kind should have any affect on ones employment. Employers everywhere should be banned from looking at people’s social media to make employment decisions.

          I can sympathize with that idea, but on the other hand, if someone is posting super racist things on Facebook and Facebook shows that they’re a low-level executive at Amazon, that reflects on Amazon and I think it would be reasonable to get rid of an employee on those grounds. But in that case, Amazon customers have Facebook accounts. Even in schools, I don’t know that I would be against firing a history teacher who posted Holocaust denials on Twitter because students can see it and it reflects on how that teacher might instruct students. In this case, none of her students should be on OnlyFans and if they are, it’s illegal. She is an English teacher, so nothing she does on OnlyFans should have an effect on her teaching either. So it’s a different situation in my opinion.

            I think there’s room to have some exceptions for extremist content, I mean if people are approaching Companies to tell them about one of their employees, obviously that isn’t good

            But the current situation is rather annoying, you’ve got companies retracting offers or straight up firing just hired people because of a picture they posted of a party they went to 10 years ago or some shit. Or even in extreme cases, companies demanding people’s SM credentials as a condition of hiring. That’s what’s got to change

              I agree. There needs to be some sort of way of removing truly dangerous or at least damaging people while still preserving the jobs of women like this one.
