NYC guidance counselor fired over old lingerie photos

A school guidance counselor is suing the New York City Department of Education after she was fired after some long-ago photos of her modeling lingerie surfaced on the Internet. Her lawsuit claims discrimination and wrongful termination.

The counselor had worked for the school system for 12 years, following a successful modeling career in her late teens.

Problems began when an inquisitive student found the counselor’s old modeling shots on the web and showed them to the school principal. The counselor claimed the photos had been altered and were unauthorized.

The school system appointed an investigatory committee, which concluded “[t]he inappropriate photos were accessible to impressionable adolescents … and [t]hat behavior has a potentially adverse influence on her ability to counsel students and be regarded as a role model.”

Note: It’s anybody’s guess how this case will turn out, but there’s no doubt the New York City Depart­ment of Education mishandled the situation.

First, if the counselor was successfully performing her job, it will be difficult for the school system to explain why her previous modeling work had much bearing on her professional skill.

Second, the counselor’s attorney is likely to ask whether the school system would have reacted the same way if a male faculty member had been involved.

Those kinds of issues generally tend to lead to settlements—payouts that likely could have been avoided with a less draconian response.

UPS Reports Troubling Drop In Residents Answering Doors In Lingerie

SANDY SPRINGS, GA—In what delivery personnel are calling an alarming nationwide trend, customers who answer the door wearing alluring lingerie and little else now account for less than 24 percent of the shipping business, a six-month investigation by UPS officials confirmed Monday. “The latest numbers are, frankly, unacceptable, and a far cry from where the industry stood a decade ago, when the observed rate of middle-aged women receiving packages in titillating undergarments soared as high as 60 percent,” UPS spokesperson Mark Dickens told reporters. “Perhaps more upsetting is the fact that, of those still wearing carelessly fastened negligees or lace garter belts, a mere 12 percent are remarking on how very, very hot it is outside, inviting the deliverymen in for lemonade, and then conspicuously mentioning that their husbands are away at work and won’t be back for a long time. This is a problem that must be rectified immediately.” Despite the grim outlook for the home delivery service, a recent employee survey conducted by Time Warner Cable found that its repair technicians continued to report a steady bra-and-panties rate of 92 percent.
