Spanish Teacher Cristy Nicole Deweese, who was at the center of a controversy involving her past as Playboy Playmate 'Co-ed of the Month', was fired by the Townview Magnet High School, Dallas.

Cristy Nicole had posed naked for Playboy magazine when she was 18 years old and in college. At 21, she was working as a Spanish Teacher at the Dallas school. Trouble started when some of her students found her Playboy past online, along with the racy pictures of Deweese.

A few parents demanded her termination because they felt she was a distraction to the students, especially boys, who were not much younger to her. However, her students and majority of the parents came out in her support, saying that she was a good teacher and the pictures belong to the time when she was not teaching.

She was fired somewhere last week but the reports came in early this week. There has been no official confirmation from the school authorities or the district board. Cristy Nicole had reportedly texted Inside Edition, 'They Fired Me,' on October 10, 2013.

A day or two later, Playboy model Liz Ashley created a Facebook page, garnering support for the reinstatement of Cristy Nicole. Meanwhile, Cristy took to Twitter to respond to her students who are tweeting that they miss her and want her back.

'We all miss you so much & want u back bcuz we arent learning & these assignments are hard! U were my fave teacher, no joke,' tweeted a student.

Her students are collecting signatures on a petition to roll back her termination. The 'Save Ms. Dewesee' campaign, as it has come to be called, also has the support of parents who think that her removal from the post of teacher was unfair.

Ms. Dewesee in her response to the support-tweets and questions tweeted, "'I'm just hoping they find a new teacher soon so it doesn't affect the students.'

She has also created a profile on Model Mayhem, signaling that she may resume her modeling career after this fiasco. Her bio on the website also included, ''I've been modeling since I was 12, quit for a while to pursue teaching and now I'm back,'
