      Punish?

      This whole thing is a consequence of her initial action.

      There is a direct and detrimental impact to her ability to do her job, and you’re forgetting that aspect of it.

      Or do you think the school should wait until a student starts stalking her? Or having a constant barrage of sexual harassment? Would you be okay with her bringing 18 yo students on for content?

      She didn’t break any laws, per se. And we shouldn’t shame her for sex work. Even so, actions have consequences and she professes to have known this was “a risk” going into it.

      The schools can’t undo what she decided to do. The schools choices are to either ignore it and hope more shit doesn’t hit the fan, or terminate her employment. Keep in mind, if another scandal comes out, the whole “the school knew about it” thing is going to make liability an absolute bitch in lawsuits.

        Sounds like victim blaming to me. If a student stalks or sexually harassed her, you punish the student.

          you’re right, if it happens. The problem here is that it’s unnecessary drama that is inevitably going to eat up the school’s legal defense fund; and probably a lot of other funding. You can’t really blame the school for wanting to not deal with that.

          particularly when the school does discipline the student and the parents sue. Even if the school wins, the school looses.
