In Austin, Texas, art teacher Tamara Hoover was escorted off campus because she participated in some art pictures in the all together. I had to look a long time before I could find one reminder of these infamous photographs to make my own judgement. Not that it is my business whether this teacher goes nude in whatever photograph. But being an art teacher, participating in some fine art photography as far as I'm concerned, and then getting fired? Come on! What type of ultra conservative censorship is this? This only weeks after I read about Dr. Diane York Blane getting some serious heat about a few topless pictures, more jest then art this time.

In short. A fellow teacher had been talking poorly about Tamara Hoover to her class.
A student said , well if you really don't like Ms Hoover you should check out the website she is on. The teacher made the student pull it up in front of a class full of students.
She told another teacher, they went tot the administration, the administration called an emergency meeting with the school board and police. Tamara Hoover was bad for moral fibre because she was on a pornographic website and deemed ineffective .
