From what i understand if you are not tenured you can be fired for virtually any reason or no reason at all (sans racial/sex discrimination). I think it will be thrown out.
What teachers do @ home isn't anyone's business though. She sent the pic to a male teacher who was probably the one that leaked it. I personally would never send anyone a topless pic, but I mean it's not the worst thing in the world to send a topless selfie to someone on your own time outside of work …
How many teachers smoke weed when they come from work or on weekend?
How many teachers go out to clubs on the weekends and wear provocative clothing?
She was fired for a photo she took of herself? As long as she didn’t give it to the student what did she do wrong? I think she has a case.
The morals clause would apply because even though it wasn't your intent for this to be public it has become so. As they say don't put it on the internet if you don't want it falling into the wrong hands...

Not really at will in this situation. She is still union (more than one in fact), even if she doesn't have tenure yet. They have to jump through plenty of hoops to fire her. If not, they already would have. The whole thing is a dumb anyway. Who cares? Fake puritanical hypocrites happy to throw a "sister" under the bus. Oh well. The world needs ditch diggers, too.
