I really do feel like this is a double standard & I don't understand why who posted it even played a role in who got fired & who didn't.
Maybe I misunderstood the story when I read it earlier.
The female coach said that the reason for her termination (and not her fiancees) was specifically because she posted it, now she knows better and will be more cautious, but she doesn't think the photo included immoral content. I know a few teachers and a cop who are subject to morals clauses with specific stipulations regarding social media postings in their employment contracts/policies.
Anyway, "immoral" is highly subjective; I didn't see anything immoral about it either. She has a decent chance of winning her job back, IMO.
Meh, I think the whole thing was blown out of proportion by the school administrators and whatever busybody complained about the posting in the first place, whether there's a double standard involved or just an overly conservative interpretation and strict enforcement of employment policy.
Were I the principal or HR person, I'd have warned 'em both to be careful about public postings and moved on.
