A fourth grade teacher in Atlanta went viral, not for her teaching curriculum, but her body. Specifically, the clothes that she wears on said body.
Photos of Patrice “Tricey” Brown wearing a peach bodycon dress, as well as jeans and a T-shirt, have been blowing up online since the weekend.
Brown has been crowned #TeachBae, but some people feel like she’s inappropriately dressed.

I hope she’s not a teacher, that outfit isn’t appropriate for school pic.twitter.com/ky0Vw8ySnM

Others are standing up for #TeacherBae.
Y’all will take any educated, independent woman and turn her into a sexualized object. I’m so sick of this. #teacherbae

If a Black woman has a curvy body she’s immediately judged and sexualized for something she has no control over #teacherbae

Funny how nobody posted this pic of #teacherbae. The one that matters. You guys are only focusing on the negative. pic.twitter.com/i35y6hpbL7

In the end, Brown deleted many of the pics floating around the web, and posted the following on Monday (Sept. 12).
My only focus is to remain FOCUSED! #TheBiggerPicture
