Tamara Hoover: Art Teacher

Categories: women, weird, news

Yet another totally weird news story involving teachers and students. Yeah I really only post the female teacher-male student stories but that is because they are far more bizarre and incomprehensible. This particular story is pretty tame by sex scandal standards.

Tamara Hoover, an Art teacher at Austin High School in Austin Texas was terminated by the Austin Schoolboard for some topless photos she had put of herself on the Internet. In her defense, you can see pretty easily that she is one of those artsy, photography people that probably care less about nudity if its tasteful and everything. I can't say I disagree but my question is how did it become known that she had topless photos circulating on the Internet? If she told her students then it was totally inappropriate. She has been defending herself via her MySpace page. Any way you look at it, there seem to be a startling number of freaks that are getting teaching certificates and imposing their weird perversions on high school kids.

I give her somewhere between a 6.5 and a 7.5 on a scale of 10. On her MySpace page she claims to be 26 years old. Elsewhere I read she was 29, but her photos (other than the one above) suggest 31 or older. So her rating ultimately depends on what we finally determine her age to be. Hint: In this case higher is going to be better.

Anyways I know you are reading this for one reason, the photos: NSFW Flickr Album that got her fired, NSFW Flickr Album #2, her MySpace Page, and a SFW - Flickr Album (265 photos).

If you look at the SFW Flickr Album you can definitely see the artistic photo defense she is going for. Update: here is one more borderline bondage photo of her.

P.S. - Don't ask me how people find this stuff. These links were all from the Fark message boards where I saw the story. It makes me incredibly happy that I am not a politician because it seems as though within a matter of hours anyone can find anything they want if they have the proper motivation, and boobs seems to do it everytime.
