Teachers will always be expected to be role models for children. There will of course be conflict on what those standards should be - which is why we need to be politically competent.
There are ghouls out there. They’ll say teachers shouldn’t be LGBT. They’ll push for all sorts of things. But if your opening salvo is that teachers don’t have to be role models for children, and in fact can do whatever they want in their free time then you’ll be ceding the ground to the ghouls. There’s no two ways about it.
As such, if your priority is to defend my right to have an Only Fans, all I can say is ‘no thank you’. I’m not american but I suspect that the issue we have in the public school I teach - kids don’t have food at home and sometimes there’s no food in school either - is a marginally Bigger Deal than whatever liberation you seem to think I need.
