That's not how public school teachers operate.
For example, you're not allowed to be visibly drunk in public if you are a public school teacher.
There are good reasons for this. Teachers are supposed to be role models for students, so seeing one passed out in the gutter isn't acceptable.
If you don't like it, then don't become a public school teacher. There are plenty of other jobs you can do.
Like be a police officer, because we apparently don't give a fuck if they drive drunk.

Eh, Hutch got demoted to transit cop and then quickly got fired from that too, partly due to the drunk driving thing, and good riddance.
Also there was a Minneapolis cop who got busted for having an OnlyFans last month and she still might get fired for it. A cop having an OF isn't one of my many complaints about my local police department.
Not sure how this is relevant.
The job qualifications and contracts are different for police officers than teachers.
It's entirely relevant to your argument. Both are commonly expected to be role models. This expectation is enforced in only one case.
If officers agreed to terms that prevented them from having an OnlyFans, then you would have a point.
It's not a part of their contract, so why would they be punished for it?
It is a part of a public school teacher's contract, so they aren't allowed to do it.
If they don't like it, they can do something else.
If extra restrictions are being placed on their personal lives they should be paid more to compensate for it.
Public Schools: "The best we can offer is a 'Great Teacher' mug, tissues for your classroom, and a hearty thumbs up! Actually, the budget won't support the mug. Or that tissues. Oh, and in completely unrelated news, the superintendent was just given a 25% raise."
Lol, around easter our admins gathered together to go door to door and deliver plastic easter eggs, one per teacher, with about 5 loose jelly beans inside. Not even good jelly beans.
Like, they're paid twice what we are and they spent a whole day on this.
What do you mean? It's a part of their contract. They can take it or leave it.
And it looks like they're leaving it. Not great when there's a teacher shortage.
Citation?
Prove it.
Saw at least one of my teachers drunk in public basically every night (local bar and grill).
Just because teachers are controlled by schools in other ways doesn't mean that they should be controlled in this way also. Simply saying that teachers can't do X and therefore they ought not be able to do Y is a non-argument.
People don't want to acknowledge facts they don't like.
