"Dear Undecided, Hire Rhonda. She is an adult who presumably knows how large her breasts are, and if she is as impeccably qualified as you say, then she knows how to handle middle schoolers. Also, not hiring someone because of the size of their breasts could be considered discrimination because someone's sex is a protected class. Fun fact, if you didn't want to hire Rhonda because she was short or had blue eyes, that would actually be legal (although still gross!)."

A hiring decision should be based on qualifications rather than physical attributes such as breast size. An adult applicant who is well qualified is presumed capable of managing age-appropriate student interactions. Refusing to hire someone because of breast size risks illegal discrimination since sex is a protected class. Physical features like height or eye color may be legally permissible bases for hiring choices but remain ethically questionable. Submitters are asked to keep questions concise, use pseudonyms for anonymity, and understand submissions may be edited and used across advice columns. A follow-up letter about workplace social dynamics begins but is incomplete.
