A former New York teacher is threatening to sue a school district for gender discrimination after she was fired, saying it was because a topless photo of herself had gone public.

Somehow, a student got hold of the image, and it circulated throughout the school, allegedly prompting the South County Central School District to fire her last week, saying she was no longer a role model, her attorney, John Ray claimed in a press conference Monday. Miranda does not know how the student obtained the photo, she said.

It is legal in the state of New York for women to go topless in public. Both Miranda and Ray claim men do not suffer similar consequences when their chests are exposed. Miranda plans to sue the school district for $3 million if she is not re-hired. A review Miranda provided to WABC from last year states she is a"highly effective teacher" and that she was up for tenure in June.

Unvaccinated children banned from public spaces amid measles outbreak in New York suburbRockland County, N.Y., will declare a state of emergency amid a relentless measles outbreak, banning unvaccinated children from entering all public places. Good. Though it's not their fault their parents are idiots. Remember when mobs demanded gay men lose their jobs because they all had AIDS? That was fucked up too. Makes no sense since anyone can catch measles with or without the vaccine. Also violates human rights.
