More than a quarter of a million people read our story last week about Carlie Christine, also known as Carlie Beck, a cheerleading coach who ruined the lives of so many young innocents by posing for Playboy and then having the damn gall to get busted for it.
Carlie, as you may recall, was fired from her gig at Casa Roble High School after vindictive parents ratted her out-- they were upset that their daughters had skipped school and, therefore, had been kicked off the squad, so they decided to punish the one responsible for following the rules. But the story may not be over yet-- while a lawsuit isn't looking too strong, thanks to that pesky "no going out and doing Playboy behind our backs" clause in the contract she signed, Carlie may not be going gently into that good night... of teaching, that is...
Various local news sources in the Sacramento area, including the Bee and First Coast News, covered a protest lead by some of the students at Carlie's former place of employment. Strangely enough, the members of this angry mob are all female. And cheerleaders, perhaps:
Carrying signs and chanting, "We want Carlie back!" We want Carlie back," five freshmen protested after classes let out at Orangevale's Casa Roble High School.
The girls who made the cheerleading squad said they support former cheerleading coach Carlie Beck.
Cheerleader Maisie Tyree said Beck "was nothing but nice to every single girl. She was nice to the girl that couldn't try out and it was totally wrong what her parents did. It was the only card they could pull."
Catie Cullen agreed. "(Beck) wasn't the one who told us about the photos. She was a role model for us. She was an amazing coach," Cullen said.
The girls said they didn't see anything wrong with Beck's pictures. They also said they had their parents' permission to demonstrate after school.
But Heather Giniella, the parent who told administrators about Beck, said she was outraged when she learned about Beck's pictures. Her daughter was barred from cheerleading tryouts.
"This is something that I would have brought to the attention principal whether (my daughter) was on the team or not," Giniella said.
Beck told school officials about her modeling. She said the situation has been difficult of her.
"I really learned to love these girls as well as their parents. I definitely appreciate all the support I've been shown,' Beck said. [First Coast News]
Of course, parents interviewed for other stories agreed with the firing, even though, as it turns out, Carlie posed for Playboy before taking the teaching job. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't sound like the administrators are going to take her back. Perhaps the students can reenact the ending of Dead Poets Society, with an extra cheer involved, when their favorite mentor comes to pick up last paycheck...
