In a meeting with mostly men, a school administrator turned a computer monitor around to show the topless selfie that Miranda said she had sent to a teacher she was dating
When a middle-school teacher was called to her principal’s office in January over a semi-nude photo that a student had obtained, she was confident the picture was not of her.
In a meeting with mostly men, including colleagues from Bellport Middle School on Long Island, New York, a school administrator turned a computer monitor around to show a topless selfie of Miranda that she said she had sent only to a fellow teacher whom she had dated.Miranda, a math teacher, was put on paid administrative leave before ultimately being fired by the South Country Central School District last week, her lawyer said.
On Wednesday, Miranda and her lawyer, John Ray, said the school district would not have fired her had she been a male teacher and taken an identical topless photo. “The superintendent and the school board — they didn’t get the memo that men and women are equal,” Ray said. She had sent the picture to a male teacher in the school district with whom she had had a relationship, she said.In a meeting before Miranda was suspended, the claim said, Giani told the teacher that he would recommend that she be dismissed because she was no longer a proper “role model” for students.
John Ray, a lawyer for Lauren Miranda Ray’s office provided The New York Times with a copy of Miranda’s performance evaluation from the previous school year, in which she received the highest possible rating in nearly every category.
