Patrice Brown, aka #TeacherBae, has been reportedly reprimanded by the Atlanta Public School System for her curves attire choices.
Last week, the fourth grade teacher faced a wave of criticism and praise after photos of her work clothes went viral. Some argued her outfits were too tight and, therefore, too inappropriate to wear at an elementary school. Many others defended her choices and suggested her physique was the primary reason why the haters were up in arms.
According to The Root, the APS has come forth to clarify Brown’s role as a paraprofessional within the school system, as well as explain their position on the controversy. Officials told 11Alive that Brown has been "given guidance regarding the APS Employee Dress Code, the use of social media, and Georgia Code of Ethics for educators, and she has been cooperative in addressing her presence on social media."
In an interview published Monday by the Daily Dot, Brown shared her thoughts on the situation and how trivial the concern actually was.
"I just wish they would respect me and focus on the positive and what truly matters—which is educating the children of the future generations and providing and caring for them,” she told the publication.
Brown’s Instagram, which was previously set to private, has returned to public.
