Cristy Nicole Deweese has created quite a stir in Dallas, Texas, after it emerged that the 21-year-old teacher posed for Playboy almost three years ago. Deweese teaches Spanish at Rosie M. Collins Sorrells School of Education and Social Services, and appeared as the "Coed of the Month" in the famous men's magazine in February 2011. She had apparently just turned 18 when she posed nude for the magazine, and was not employed by the Dallas Independent School District at the time. The problem with most parents seems to be that Deweese's Playboy pictures are available online and among them are full frontal naked shots, pictures of her wearing winter Bunny gear and lingerie, a simulated lesbian sex scene, and a "Naked Outdoors" gallery.
In a behind-the-scenes video clip from the photo shoot, Deweese lists her hobbies as "Hunting, shooting ...I shot me a buck last year." She also said that she is majoring in Spanish and hopes to be a Spanish teacher. On her Playboy interview she talks about her body. "My butt looks great in jeans, panties or nothing. My legs are long. But my favorite thing about my body is my breasts. They're small, but real, nicely shaped, and I don't have to worry about back pain, bras, men staring or anything."
Parents say students have seen the racy pics, and many are not happy about it. One parent told Dallas Morning News that while her Playboy past shouldn't prevent her from becoming a teacher, it would affect the way her students saw her. "Are her male 16- and 17-year-old students looking at her without picturing her nude?" A parent added. "And for the female students, is this someone they can respect as an educator, someone that they can look up to?" They continued. However, some students are supporting their teacher. "Half of the school already found out about that one Spanish teacher," one wrote on Twitter. "She's a teacher now, not a Playboy model anymore! Leave her alone guys."
According to the Daily Caller, the school district is aware of the issue, but isn't talking. "This is a personnel matter, and it will not be discussed," district spokesman Jon Dahlander said. At the Texas Education Agency, a spokeswoman called these circumstances "a murky situation." "It wasn't an illegal activity," Education Agency spokeswoman Debbie Ratcliffe said, "but it raises the question about whether that action violated the Educators' Code of Ethics."
What do you think? Should Deweese be allowed to continue teaching or not?
