Carlie Beck paid a stipend to be able to become a cheerleaders coach.
Parents are shocked at the turn of events. Some support the coach, others support the school district's decision to fire her. One parent, Sue Feather, said she felt sorry for Beck but believed that her fired was a good object lesson for her daughter that decisions follow one the rest of their life.
Many students, according to AZCentral.com, seem to find the firing unfair. Many were aware that the cheerleaders' coach, Carlie Beck, was Carlie Christine and were indifferent to it.

The girls made sure copies of Carlie Beck's nude Playboy photos landed on the principal's desk.
