High School Math Teacher in Trouble for Tweeting Nude Photos, Calling Students 'Jailbait'
Semi-nude selfies and jokes about on-campus drug use are just some of the things found on one Colorado math teacher's Twitter page.
23-year-old Carly McKinney, a first-year teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, also raised eyebrows among district officials with tweets like, "Just got called Ms. McCutie. Points for being clever, however you are still jailbait."
McKinney was busted by a viewer tip to local NBC affiliate 9News, and subsequently deleted her account, CarlyCrunkBear.
But not before the news station managed to gather up several examples of McKinney's more "provocative" tweets.
McKinney, who was apparently fond of making references to drug use, suggested in one tweet that she was grading papers while stoned. In another, McKinney jokes, "Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot."
Reached for comment by 9News, McKinney claimed @crunk_bear was a parody account she created with a friend. She denied using drugs while on school grounds, and blamed all controversial comments and photos on her friend who she alleges posted "without her knowledge and consent."
However, a final tweet posted just before the account was removed suggests McKinney was fully aware of the content being posted online in her name. "Local news station just called me..." she wrote. "Tweeking out..."
The school district will meet with McKinney today to discuss the possibility that her actions violated school policy.
