THE sexiest teacher in America has revealed the unfair reason for why he doesn’t get dress coded or fired for winning the prize.
Nicolas Ferroni is an award-winning teacher at New Jersey’s Union High School.
Not only has he won awards for his commitment to education reform and activism, but he was named PEOPLE’s Sexist Teacher in America in 2014.
Ferroni told New Jersey 101.5: “I’m not the best teacher in the state, in the country, even in my school, but I try to remind people that there are so many amazing educators.”
He added that a woman might have been treated differently if she won the sexist teacher award instead.
“Whenever I do press, I’m very quick to bring up the fact that if that was a female teacher, she would probably lose her job, which does not obviously fall ignorant on me knowing that, because of just how society is,” Ferroni said.
One female teacher, dubbed Miss Education, has been criticized for her classroom looks.
Miss Education is an art teacher at an elementary school in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
She posts pictures of herself on Instagram in tight-fitting clothes that show off her figure.
People say the way she dresses is inappropriate and her photos are “slutty.”
Ferroni gave his opinion on Miss Education.
“And seeing the story about the teacher, it’s absolutely insane to me,” he told the outlet.
“The fact that they’re attacking her for her existence, nothing else, and we’ve seen plenty of those situations.”
The teacher recalled a time when even he got slammed for being inappropriate.
He said: “I posted a picture in a bathing suit. And people are like, you think that’s appropriate?
“I’m at the beach. It’s not sexual. If you objectify someone that is on you. If you sexualize someone that is on you.
“Unless they’re going out of their way to call attention to it, like that’s on you.”
Ferroni added: “Teachers are not human beings? We’re not within society’s norms? I can’t go to the beach?
“I wish people held themselves to the same standard as they hold teachers.”
