A 23-year-old Colorado teacher has found herself under fire after it was revealed that the woman had been posting half-naked photos of herself on Twitter and joking about using drugs at school. Carly McKinney, a math teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, was placed on paid administrative leave on Tuesday after admitting to a local TV station that she created the Twitter account CarlyCrunkBear (@crunk_bear) with the help of a friend.

The page, which has since been taken down, included explicit photos of the blonde teacher along with multiple posts about smoking marijuana on school grounds. The explosive allegations came to light after 9News was tipped off about the Twitter account by a viewer Monday. McKinney later admitted to the TV station that she was behind the tweets.

One post read: 'Naked. Wet. Stoned,' while another said: 'Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot.' Other messages suggested that the teacher was grading papers while under the influence of drugs and spending time on Twitter 'instead of being productive' during the school day. In one post allegedly referring to a student, McKinney wrote: 'Just got called Ms McCutie. Point for being clever, however you are still ? .'

In a bizarre twist, one of the most revealing photos allegedly depicting McKinney doing a handstand wearing only a paid of lacy panties was retweeted by DJ Diplo to promote his newest single, Express Yourself, iDigital Times reported. The first-year teacher and a friend told 9News that the Twitter account was intended as a parody.

The 23-year-old woman claimed that she was not aware of some of the provocative posts her unnamed friend was making, adding that she never was in possession of drugs on school property. Cherry Creek School District officials responded by saying that all employees are trained about social media use and are encouraged not to post anything online that they would not want to put on the classroom blackboard.

Officials, however, added that teachers have first amendment right to free speech, especially in so far as personal social media sites are concerned. In a phone interview with MailOnline Tuesday evening, Tustin Amole, director of communications for Cherry Creek School District, said that officials launched an investigation into McKinney's conduct after learning of the allegations from 9News. Amole emphasized that the paid administrative leave is not a disciplinary action, but rather a routine measure.

According to the district spokesperson, the main goal of the probe is to determine whether the 23-year-old educator used or was in possession of drugs on school property, which is illegal under state law.

Amole went on to say that to the best of her knowledge, McKinney has not been named in any other complaints during her tenure at the school.
