To shame and fire a woman for the criminal acts of another person is just another example of how women are second class citizens in this country and serves to validate this boy's behavior. Tryong to justify her firing and your idiotic belief that women should not have a private life is cause for concern with your position in a field of education. You, sir, are the one who should lose your job.

The teacher shouldn't be punished for a crime committed against her. She's the victim, not the perpetrator. Plus, that kid/kids should be punished or expelled.

I think the school board are utterly disgraceful and possibly mysoginistic. One has to wonder whom they would feel was responsible if someone was to hack into their personal email and spread that information worldwide. I postulate that, in this instance, they would protect their own jobs and blame the hacker, not themselves for having private information on their private devices.
Victim blaming at its finest.

Disgraceful attempt to justify a wrongly arrived at position. Takes a big person to admit when they were wrong...

Ok, so, who's phone can we steal for similar images when we want to see them fired?
This is attaching a victim. Give Mrs. Arthur back her job, so that when something like this happens to a student, they're don't go kill themselves for being expelled when you apply the same stupid policy.

Everyone should have their right to privacy. Had she shown it to the student that would be another story, but it's unacceptable that someone too possession of her property and exploited it.

My condolences to Mrs. Arthur, she does not deserve punishment for the actions of a student, it was out of her control and an invasion of her privacy and now it seems that this David Eubanks is attempting to twist statements in attempt to justify their blame on MRs. Arthur. At the same time, the student is young and has made a mistake, I hope he learns from that mistake and tries to make it up to Mrs. Arthur.

This is the most absurd sh** I've ever heard. A student STEALS her phone, GROSSLY VIOLATES her privacy & it's HER fault? How STUPID are these people?? Give her job back to her and PUNISH THAT STUDENT! In case they aren't aware... THEFT is a CRIME. Sending personal photos to your HUSBAND, is NOT.

The teacher's phone was stolen. Whether or not she was in the classroom when it happened is irrelevant. A student STOLE her phone, then violated her privacy by sharing an image, presumably by sending it to his own phone. She should have her job and the student should be be appropriately disciplined.

Mrs Arthur must surely have a legal and a civil case against the student who stole her phone, accessed her private information, and distributed the photo, and against the school, the headmaster, and the county for wrongful dismissal.
I hope she takes both legal and civil actions, and that she wins punitive damages.

How is the student not facing discipline? How is 14,885 people seeing an issue with this dismissal "insignificant"? So what if Mrs Arthur allowed students to use her phone, should students not be learning responsibility? The power of trust?
