Most employees in the country are employed at will. The employer can fire them for almost any reason, or no reason. That reason may have nothing whatsoever to do with the employee's conduct. "There are rumors that you made amateur porn, and we believe that even this rumor may make parents uncomfortable, and also make it more difficult to maintain order in your classroom. Even if this rumor was fabricated about you in a malicious way, this may reflect that you have already attracted ire from at least some of the parents or pupils that we serve. Whether these rumors are true or not, we feel our academy is better off if we part ways." Public school teachers may have some protections on how they can be dismissed, but I think private school and charter school teachers typically have minimal protections. So long as the employer is open to firing a male employee for rumors of involvement in something reputation-decaying, they can at least make a plausible case that it's not matter of gender discrimination. Also, _all actual evidence is in the past_. You're trying to write yourself a permission slip to predict anything while ignoring all actual lived experience.
