You're FIRED!

SIX FLAGS BANS HAIRSTYLES
Black employees at a Six Flags America amusement park in Maryland say they've been banned from wearing ethnic hairstyles.

The real issue is whether private employers have the right to institute a dress code. I say yes!
If you don't like the rules hit the rode!


An art teacher at Austin High School in Texas is fighting to keep her job after topless photos of her were found on the Internet. The photos of Tamara Hoover, which show her in the shower, lifting weights, getting dressed, in bed, and doing other routine activities, were posted on Flickr.com by her partner. Hoover says the photos are art, and isn't apologizing. But the school district says the photos are inappropriate and violate the, quote, "higher moral standard" expected of public school teachers. The district wants to revoke her teaching certification, which would keep her from teaching in Texas permanently. Hoover will appeal the ruling, and said she's ready to take the case to court.

Do you think Hoover should be fired, and, further, lose her teaching certification, for these topless photos on the Internet?

Do you believe public school teachers should be held to a higher moral standard? Are topless photos immoral?
