Italian Teacher's OnlyFans Sparks National Debate

Elena Maraga, a 29-year-old teacher at a Catholic nursery school in Italy, has been suspended after a parent discovered she was also working as an OnlyFans model. The parent shared the information on social media, prompting the school to take action, arguing her side work conflicted with the institution's religious values. Maraga defended her decision, citing her unsustainable salary of 1,200 euros as the motivation to seek additional income, which she earns significantly more from on OnlyFans. The controversy has sparked a national debate on teachers' rights to private economic activities, with Italy's Ministry of Education considering a new ethical code to prevent similar situations. Trade unions have voiced support for her, arguing that her private activities do not affect her teaching abilities. Public opinion is divided, with some supporting her right to private life while others criticize the ethical implications of her dual profession.
