If I had children, I would not want any person or couple who looked like that around my children. And for such clowns to be teaching kids at all?
These are the exact type of people whom you can judge based on the way they look. I have no doubt that these they/thems chalk up their prostitution to being "empowered" and "liberating" and "having agency over our bodies". It's all a self-serving crock. Yes, it may be technically true that "sex work is work", but that quoted phrase is used as a slogan meant to gloss over the seediness, oft-criminality, and moral decay of doing such a thing, not to mention how the phrase does ultimately show support for sex trafficking and societal oversexualization.
If anyone is a combination of being so desperate, uncreative, and unmarketable that they willfully decide to prostitute themselves to pay their bills, then I really can't feel sorry for their plight. Their excuse that they would otherwise "starve" even seems disingenuous, considering how these two most absolutely run with a crowd that ideologically centers itself on its own perceived perpetual victimhood. And the fact that they pair(ed) prostitution with being substitute teachers of children and/or teenagers is disgusting.
No, I'm not assuming that they were interested in involving the students with such activity; I am assuming, unless evidence is uncovered to the contrary, that the substitute teaching and the prostitution were treated as two separate aspects of their lives. But even factoring in such separation, it is still a poor precedent and example to set for society, because if there is ever any occasion where a person's work with a school (paid or volunteer, one example of the latter being a parental chaperone and/or active parent of a student athlete) ends up converging contextually with their unusual sex life, it almost always turns out to be a scandal due to the simple fact that the people at the center of such work with minors. These two aspects of societal contribution, simply put, do not mesh together, and the parent or teacher's involvement at schools will inevitably carry baggage, judgment from others, and/or a shady reputation with them if they continue to be an active presence with the school.
So, instead of prostitution, what are other valid options? Too many to count. They include, but are not limited to:
1. Apply for traditional second jobs, even if part-time, until one is found.
2. Become an entrepreneur with a legitimate and legal good, trade, or service.
3. Find a job/career that pays better than the substitute teacher gig, and move on to that one.
4. Sell stuff, such as instruments or furniture, that has noteworthy financial value and that is no longer needed nor wanted around the household.
Any of those four options beat the hell out of prostitution.
More importantly, who amidst Hamilton County Schools hired these people, and why? They both have an obnoxiously aggressive SJW aesthetic that they probably borrowed from TikTok, and scandals such as this are the exact reason why People Who Look Like That; people who actively embrace tacky physical ugliness, social media-hazed grandiosity of the self, and endless self-justification for their own mediocrity and crappy decisions, all simply for the sake of conceitedly thinking of themselves as nonconformists; should not be in any position of trust.
