Delayed News Digest: Lady Dislikes Job, Quits, Gets Other Job, Blogs A Little

Oh, wait. I meant SEX PROSTITUTE POSES AS HUMAN TEACHER, PROBABLY SELLS THE SEX TO YOUR CHILD, REVEALS SEX EXPLOITS TO INTERNET; THERE WAS  SEX!

I get these things confused. Sorry.

  1. You know, it’s funny to me that this is being used as an example of the evil evil job protections teachers have, because this is actually why everyone should have job protections = so they can’t be fired because of stupid prejudices that have nothing to do with their ability to do the job.

  2. urgh, I’m not even willing to click on the link, can anyone sum up for me what’s going on? I’m assuming a former sex worker decided to become a teacher? And no doubt people are pissy assholes about it?

    Oh, and it gets even more meta: she was fired for arguing (in public! using her real name!) that the political choices made by the Attorneys General v. Craigslist were the wrong choices.

    So while everyone is all about the sexy sex she had for money (the Daily News says she “… wrote about using Craigslist to pick up johns…”, without mentioning _any_ of the political or social arguments she was making), it’s pretty clear that we have a teacher who is about to be fired for engaging in political speech.

    Ugh. Really?? Jesus Christ. Americans are so sexually repressed/madly in love with strict gender roles I’m surprised we make it through the day.

    Clay: Maybe I’m dense for having to ask this, but you mean they’re going to use political speech as the excuse? That’s clearly not the actual reason for which they want to fire her…

    As an aside, reading her HuffPo post, it’s kind of disappointing that she busted on Newmark. I wish she’d have shone a light on all the attorneys general who forced his hand. Craigslist is not a huge company, so the legal fees necessary to fight all the states threatening action could have become preposterous. He didn’t bend to mere criticism.
