Ms. Hoover’s Art Lessons

Another month, another schoolteacher being investigated for alleged inapproprite behavior: Texas news outlets are reporting on the case of Austin high school art teacher Tamara Hoover, who has been suspended from her job after school officials discovered topless pictures of her taken by her girlfriend—an artist and semiprofessional photographer herself—that appeared on Flickr and on Hoover's MySpace page. Sure, we'd understand what all the brouhaha was about if Hoover showed the photos to her students as lesson examples or something—as we've mentioned before, staring at your teacher's boobs in class might indeed be an distraction to scholarship—but we have a hard time figuring out why a few artsy nude shots she did in her extracurricular life would be a problem. (Then again, this is Texas we're talking about; we're only surprised they're not going after her for having a girlfriend, too.)
