High school teacher in trouble after tweeting topless photos to Diplo

A 23-year-old high school math teacher in Aurora, Colorado has made her administrators none to happy after she tweeted a topless photo of herself to popular DJ, Diplo (Philly, shoutout). The photo shows Carly McKinney—known from here on out as "CrunkBear"—upside down with her feet against a wall wearing nothing but panties. If you're old, it may be helpful to know that this is called "twerking." Don't ask. Well, okay, if you must:


Anyway, Diplo retweeted the photo, which alerted CrunkBear's students because zOMG THEIR TEACHER LISTENS TO DIPLO AND TWEETED TOPLESS PHOTOS. Overland High School's administrators caught wind of the fiasco and suspended CrunkBear.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention that, upon further examination, CrunkBear's Twitter account—@Crunk_Bear (get it now?)—included a tweet calling one student "jailbait" and a tweet indicating that she had marijuana in her car on school grounds. Whoops.

Diplo and others have been showing their support for CrunkBear on Twitter by using #FreeCrunkBear. Isn't the future awesome, you guys? [Spinner]

    Sounds like she deserves to be fired. Boasting about having dope in the school parking lot isn't exactly the role model most parents are looking for. Then again, she's in Colorado, maybe the weed was legal?

    This woman's behavior is irresponsible and despicable. But she's hot, (and that's all the ultimately matters), so I forgive her.

    The weird thing about all you "hot for teacher" guys is that so many of you were home-schooled.

    Hot for teacher! Really, the thingto worry about here isn't the social networks as much as the absolute stupidity of the people using them. These kids (she is a kid)are our future? I just don't get it, wat makes people think they can put this stuff out in public? It's no different then running down the street naked with a joint in on hand and a vibrator in the other. Probably good she got hit with this though, calling a student jailbait we were probably going to see her with a worse problem later.

    The fact of the matter is, private lives are being broadcast on the internet more and more. Within a generation, it'll be hard to find anyone who hasn't posted naughty pictures on the internet. We just need to get over it.

    This is a college graduate with a job teaching high school students. Who interviewed her? Did anyone think to ask this dingbat what behavior she may find inappropriate? She deserves to be fired because she didn't have the brains to obscure her identity and because she thought these photos wouldn't get her fired. This person was a TEACHER....WOW!!!

    Pot is legal in CO, she's smoking hot and maybe shouldn't be a teacher, but so what, and why the hell is this news in Philly? Just so judgmental fussbudgets can spew out their useless, 2-cent opinions? Is this how we satiate the peasant mob?

    The only difference between her and the teachers that graduated in the 70s and 80s is that they didn't have the chance to put their private lives on the internet, and they weren't dumb enough to do so if there had been one. To think otherwise would mean that you believe that no teacher ever had a picture of herself topless or that no teachers ever smoked pot 30 years ago.

    Hey, some of you people NEED to come out from under a rock. Kids learn these things quicker today, thanks to government mandated "health" teaching programs...passing out condoms to students, etc.!! Everybody learns it from SOMEBODY sooner or later, and usually from somebody else.
    Would you rather your kid learn it from one of their peers, who probably do NOT have all the facts straight? Where did YOU learn it from...not at the convent...oh, wait...maybe it WAS there. Seems to me she has a healthy way of sharing her learned behavior. So why shouldn't it be a teacher. She may be a lot more responsible than a LOT of you are misjudging. We ain't talking Amish here...and hey, they seem to reproduce a lot of themselves somehow also!
    Get real people...this isn't back jungle Africa that still doesn't wear clothes, you know...probably just because they don't HAVE any.
    There has never been any society, civilized or not that has been able to shield their children from sexual knowledge until they were age appropriate, and it certainly isn't going to happen in the decadent USA!

    Besides, unless your a nerdy girl, teaching math IS boring. Soooo...

BTW, just because your sexual doesn't make you special....there are BILLIONS of human beings on the planet, ALL of them came from people having sex...it's nothing special.

    Granted she should be fired from her job; however, at 23 did each of us not make some decisions that totally embarrass us now. I certainly did.

    Hopefully she learns from it and moves on. If she was 28 and doing this, then she would have issues. At this point, part of growing up. We seem to do it later these days.

    Society needs to learn a lot about itself. I do not agree or disagree with her choices but in this country she is entitled to them. She will not be the first or the last teacher or professional to do this. These are the Liberties that people are fighting for and swarming to our shores to have. You truly do not believe that this would be acceptable in the Middle East? I think that the true issue here is that she is an Authority figure and she is not behaving according to that protocol. You know the one that was dictated to us. She is not the only rebel in the world. Give her time and maybe she will have something constructive to impart on her students.

    I enjoyed reading some of the nonserious responses as most were actually pretty witty. However, the message by Martinez showed a lack of understanding of the freedom concept. People have freedom of speech but they can't write unflattering things about their boss because they will be fired. Likewise, a doctor cannot display pictures f his clients unless he/she has given permission. This young woman has the emotional intelligence of a moose in heat. Taking the jobof a teacher doesn't give a person the right to do or say anything and she showed by her lack of judgement that pole dancing is what she should pursue.
