Tucson Teacher Haunted by Nude PBS Performance

Generally having a dance performance broadcast on PBS is an event worth celebrating, but in the case of high school dance instructor Julie Ryan Leed, the fact that a portion of the performance was done in the nude is causing her professional pain. She is suing her former employer.
According to her lawsuit, however, she was unable to get a teaching job either locally or out of state for more than two years because unidentified TUSD employees made statements to prospective employers that she was let go "for inappropriate conduct involving nudity and a videotape." Leed says she found out about the statements last summer from one of the would-be employers.
