Here’s something people forget about teachers: they have lives outside of the school where they’re tasked with watching over your brats educating the promising young minds of the future. They drink. They have sex. They — gasp — wear bathing suits. In other words, they do things other adults do.
The mere sight of an attractive, fit teacher in a sports bra raised eyebrows and inspired pearl-clutching from the masses. Jensen told Good 4 Utah that “'[some school] kids found it and the parents were appalled by the pictures. They called it immodest. They called it pornographic. They called the pictures inappropriate, and these are my fitness, and show pictures in my sport, in my uniform in my bodybuilding sport.” Side note: People apparently don't know what the word 'pornagraphic' means.

School dministrators told her she could either remove the photos, set them to private, or get fired. She did neither, and the school district eventually extended an apology to Jensen. "Put restrictions on your children. If you are not comfortable with seeing me in my fitness uniform on stage posing, then take that away from your kid. Don’t take it away from me,” she told Fox 13.
