At the end of last year, Domonique Brown was named teacher of the month at a Detroit school, only to be fired a few months later for trying to build a rap career in her spare time.
When she wasn't spending her time in the classroom teaching American history, Brown rapped under the moniker Drippin Honey. She has worked as a history teacher for seven years and is on her way to completing her master's studies, reports Fox.
In October of last year, an anonymous report by a student's parents led to the school administration questioning Brown for five months about her music career. In the end, it was decided that Brown should be fired.
The teacher and rapper said that she was a victim of discrimination, and announced that she would hire a lawyer to take legal action regarding her dismissal.
Meanwhile, Brown released a music video for "Drippin 101," featuring some of her students in support.
"My life outside of school should not be grounds for dismissal if it does not affect my ability to fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher. My commitment, professionalism and passion for teaching has always been unwavering, regardless of any other private activities I have" , the teacher and rapper wrote along with the video on the YouTube service.
