Indeed there is a broader conversation about what amounts to “inappropriate conduct” outside the workplace. Assuming the person isn’t doing anything illegal and maintains their work at arm’s length, does the employer get to police what they do outside of their working hours?
If a teacher hustling as a sex worker in her free time is grounds for dismissal, would a teacher hiring the services of a sex worker in his free time also be a fireable offense?

If sex work in any context is a dismissal, then I would say hiring a sex worker or engaging in their services should as well.
I agree, and I think both situations are clearly bullshit. My employer should have no say on my sexual life.
