Female Teacher Topless

(Austin, Texas) The Austin School Board wants to fire 29-year-old art teacher at Austin High School, Tamara Hoover, for publishing her topless picture on the Internet.

From Tamara Hoover's web page on MySpace.com:

ARTIST AND ART Teacher (termination pending) at a high school in Austin, Texas . Looking for help with funding the gathering of evidence to defend myself against the Austin Independant School District. (both civil and criminal). They are firing me for pictures of me being on a website (celesta) and claiming the website is pornographic. The district isn't even asking to hear my side. At this time, I have been advised not to share too much information about my case. But as soon as I get the ok I will gladly share more of my story. PS: when you donate i will send you a one of a kind drawing/painting/little something something sweet ok? [sic all]

The Austin School Board voted last evening to commence the termination process for Mrs. Hoover. It's unknown what Mr. Hoover thinks about the situation.
