Tamara Hoover was an art teacher whom had her photographs posted on Flickr by by her girlfriend Celesta Danger, a photographer for the Texas Rollergirls.She got an attorney and fought the charges on the grounds that the nude pictures were not prominently displayed and were an artistic expression protected by the First Amendment. Her attorney also argued that Hoover isn’t the Internet police and parents should be responsible for monitoring children’s Internet use.

Their final point was that when the pictures were taken, Hoover did not know they would be posted and therefore gave no thought to the consequences of having the photos taken. The appeal failed.
Upon discovery of these pictures she was fired and told that the pictures were not apporpriate to be viewed .Hoover is not the first to be terminated because of photos that ended up on the Internet. An Oregon mayor, Carmen Kontur Gronquist was fired for posing in her underwear on the town’s fire truck.
