School Teacher quits over sex blog

Becky Pelfrey, a school teacher and blogger, had to resign after school officials found she used her class computer to access a personal Weblog chronicling sexual exploits and containing disparaging remarks about her students. Her blog featured links to sexually-oriented Web sites and comments about her students.

Officials were alerted to the situation by an anonymous letter. Becky Pelfrey’s husband, Bill Pelfrey, claims his ex-wife wrote the letter but she denies the claim. The families are involved in a custody dispute.

Update: I have removed the references to Becky Pelfrey blog after I received an email from her saying:

The information on your blog is inaccurate and untrue. If you do not remove the incorrect information immediately, I will consider legal action. I was NOT fired from my job. The blog you are referencing was not the blog in question.
Beckey has even left a comment here (scroll down) saying she resigned after being harassed at work continually by Tanya Hanna and her husband.
My husband’s ex-wife decided to lie to the media and my school and tell them I was updating a “sex blog” at school. Yes, I had a blog, and you found it. BUT…there was never sexual content on that site. They harassed the school board daily, and slandered my name in this small Mansfield town. Questionable links? Sure. But they weren’t accessed from school.

A colleague of Becky Pelfrey for 3 years says she was a wonderful teacher and a good friend. Even teachers are human, think about what you have done lately and have not been caught.
