A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    But if things worked like they should any sort of harassment of this teacher should be dealt with just like it would be without knowing she has an OF account. Having an account like OF doesn’t somehow put the responsibility of not being a victim of harassment on her.

    This seems like a teaching moment (pun intended).

      Having the OF account isn’t just any old characteristic here. It’s the crux of it all. The likelihood of a student buying content from the teacher is not particularly low, and that’s just not an acceptable situation from someone in that position.

      I’m not saying it’s her responsibility or anyone else’s to avoid being harassed, but it’s an inevitable issue among many that would be piling up atop the already unacceptable scenario given above, all adding pressure in favor of the school understandably deciding to just cut ties.
