Diplo Gets A Teacher Fired

Teacher placed on leave.
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Well, sort of. A retweet by Diplo has led to Carly McKinney — a 23-year-old math teacher at Overland High School in Colrado — being placed on paid leave after the incredibly stupid contents of her public Twitter account was discovered.


On that account, which has since been disabled, McKinney — whose bio read "BearCrunker than most. Stay sexy. Stay high. Stay drunk. Stay free. Stay trippy." — tweeted photos of herself drinking, stripping, smoking weed and posing semi-nude (despite being removed by McKinney, those pictures are still readily available to anyone capable of a Google search). 

Some of Carly's tweets were hilariously inappropriate, including gems like "Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot." and another in which she refers to a student as "jailbait". 

McKinney also claimed via Twitter to have been grading papers while high, which is apparently the straw that broke the education board's back. She's been placed on paid administrative leave while the school probes whether or not she used or possessed drugs on school property.

If you're curious, this is the picture — depicting Carly performing the "Express Yourself" dance move — that caught Diplo's attention:
