It's sad that a teacher could possibly have no private life. It's even more questionable how the account was "found". I see no one is mentioned as having found it and reported it.
I think it was foolish of the district to fire her; if no student knew about it. The article also neglects to mention parental outrage; so it would seem that not even a parent discovered this either.
If all of this was done explicitly outside of the school, off grounds, and not mentioned ever; it makes no sense other than a few adults finding it awkward.
Missouri is a very conservative place. They would see this as too scandalous, think her to be an immortal person, and not fit to be around children. I'm not saying it's right, just the perspective of the majority in that area of the country.
Missouri is deeply stupid. But not "conservative". And I say that as a lifelong resident. Talk about any liberal, progressive, or possibly socialist policy in isolation. Most Missourians would find them favorable. The biggest trick is to avoid their programmed triggers. If you can navigate around their programming. You will get rational and reasonable responses most times. But that's the trick. So many of them are so heavily programmed and tightly wound. That rationality is almost a foregone conclusion out of reach.
As someone who lives in missouri, its PAINFUL how accurate this is
