PITTSBURGH — A southwestern Pennsylvania school district has agreed to pay a teacher and the American Civil Liberties Union $10,000 and refund more than $4,000 in back pay the teacher lost when she was suspended for a Facebook photo of her with a male stripper.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ginger D’Amico is a Spanish teacher at Brownsville High School. She was given a 30-day suspension, later reduced to 19 days, after the photo from a bachelorette party at her house was posted by someone else who attended the party.
D’Amico and the ACLU never sued, but ACLU attorneys did contact the district shortly after the suspension in January, leading to the settlement announced Tuesday.
The ACLU questioned the suspension, saying D’Amico’s actions were private and legal.
