00:00 This teacher came to work looking like this every day.
00:03 However, the parents were furious.
00:05 This New Jersey woman really loved teaching and cared about her students.
00:10 She was a young, fun, loving teacher that every student loved as a teacher.
00:15 But she would come to school dressed like this every single day.
00:20 The parents began to notice how she dressed
00:22 when they would pick their kids up from school.
00:25 They became highly concerned.
00:27 They would call the school every single day asking why they would hire such a person.
00:33 The school received numerous complaints about how the teacher was dressed.
00:38 One day, the principal of the school decided to call the teacher in.
00:42 He sat her down to have a long talk.
00:44 The teacher then came out of the principal's office crying, but
00:48 you won't believe what happened after.
00:50 She was crying.
00:52 The principal told her that the parents had been complaining about how
00:55 distracting her body is.
00:58 The parents said that the way she dressed was distracting to the kids.
01:02 Because of this, the teacher was let go by the school.
01:06 The art teacher was having none of it.
01:08 Trying to body shame me because I am curvaceous is still discrimination,
01:13 she wrote on social media.
01:15 However, the story was not over there.
01:17 She did not give up without a fight.
01:19 She actually sued the school for wrongful termination and
01:23 discrimination based on her body.
01:26 But who was in the right?
01:27 Was it the teacher who refused to bow to conformity,
01:31 fiercely defending her right to express herself?
01:34 Or was it the school and parents who argued that her attire was an
01:39 inappropriate distraction for the children?
