Topless Teacher

Breitbart.tv is carrying a clip about a teacher whose cell phone contained a picture of herself topless. Students who stole the phone have distributed the picture and it is generating some buzz in the community.

Here are a couple of things that come to mind after viewing the video. First, why aren't the kleptomaniacs being prosecuted? They committed the crime and have now generated the problem. Second, the parent is talking about the teacher's "morality" questioning the fact that this woman has such influence over her students. Well, apparently she needed to teach them the rule about not stealing, because the students' parents have failed in that regard.

Finally, why does this matter? This teacher is a woman, who has breasts and I am all but certain that most teeenagers have seen breats before, whether live and in person or via other media. Why is the fact that this teacher's breast baring is on a cell phone--her personal cell phone--such a problem? One would presume that this teacher has a life outside of school and whether in school or out of school, she possesses certain rights and privileges. Certainly having a topless photo of yourself is not a crime (although leaving it on your cell phone is not smart--it is not illegal).

Apparently Oklahoma City needs to get over itself.
