Bikini 101

Florida teacher fired for wearing a bikini

YAWOWEEE!

Seems a bit harsh. {sigh} Do you have any idea how sorry I am the Internet wasn't around when I was in school? There are so many teachers I would have loved to see like this, but that's probably just me, right?

If Teach Tiff was indeed termed for getting a second job that required her to wear a bikini, I say "Huh?" Sure, the last few years have seen a sharp increase in stories of teachers having sex with students, and yes, we do need to protect kids, but these are pictures of a woman in a bikini who teaches high school. I submit that any students who think of her as a sex fantasy object were doing it long before these pictures showed up. I was a teen boy once myself, and I can guarantee you some do think like that.

This is Florida, too, and there are lots of women who wear bikinis. Shall the powers that be mandate eyepatches and shades for all the students who might happen to see such a woman? What about Baywatch reruns? Or just about any tv show for that matter? Internet anyone? The magazine section at the bookstore? This is truly sad and it's taking all the fun out of being young and hormonal. Tiffany moonlighting in a bikini doesn't make her a bad teacher, in fact the job and pics will probably make her a better teacher. For sure the class will be paying a lot more attention to her.

School officials say they're not renewing her contract because of excessive
absences; she missed about 30 days. Maybe she was getting a bikini wax. The big lesson here for all of us is evident: in this world of digital cameras, cell phones and the Internet, someone is always watching. And Tiffany? Since you'll probably seek legal help with this situation, there's an Attorney General in Ohio you might want to call, although I have the feeling he may call you first about a bikini charter trip. Give him a couple days.
