School Fires Teacher Over Photo Of Fiance Then Learns Costly Lesson

She lowered her gaze to the parent’s statement. She couldn’t believe what the report was about. The principal claimed she didn’t have an option but to suspend her for it because of a goofy picture of her and her fiancé.

Diana sensed something wasn’t quite right. Her gut twisted into a lump, but she had to push through. She had to stand up for her beliefs.

A Passion For Teaching

Diana Atkinson was an ordinary woman with a strong desire to educate the next generation. She was adamant about being one of the top teachers in her district. She was obsessed with shaping the minds of tomorrow’s youth.

On the other hand, Diana was still a regular person outside of her profession. So when it started with a parent having a problem with her private life, she knew she’d have to face the consequences.

Her Personal Life

Despite being passionate about teaching, her fiance was her second most important relationship. Her fiance was a stunning woman named Lisa.

Nobody had ever expressed concern about her sexual orientation

She considered herself fortunate because most people didn’t have it so good. But she never imagined that her life’s dichotomy would give her any problems. She would soon discover that she had been misled.

She Was A Great Teacher

There was a reason why Diana was called the best teacher. She maintained a high standard in her teachings and received a lot of praise for them. Every session was filled with kindness and compassion, which both parents and children appreciated.

However, not all of the notice she received would be positive. She had no clue that someone would pay close attention to her and try to make her life as difficult as possible. Her career was about to change dramatically.

Getting To Know Them

It was the beginning of the year, and Diana prepared some slides for her students. She wanted to make her students feel welcomed in her class. Her children would be more willing to share personal information if she gave them a glimpse of her personal life.

She made a slideshow so that the students could get to know her. She added some background information about her, like her favorite foods and how long she had been working at the school. She felt that her slides would amuse the kids, but one of their parents wouldn’t be impressed.
