"Too sexualized"
Lip Fillers: Popular Teacher Forced to Leave
Although the principal and school inspector issued positive recommendations, the Tyrolean Department of Education did not renew the contract of a dedicated young teacher. This modern colleague was quite obviously a thorn in the side of the long-established faculty.

As a specialist teacher in cosmetology and pedicure, Melanie Stanojevic from Innsbruck embarked on a new (professional) path last fall at the Tyrolean Vocational School for Nutrition, Beauty, and Chemistry on the banks of the Lohbach in Innsbruck. But there of all places, her appearance—with her lip fillers—didn’t go over well with her female colleagues at all. “I was the victim of bullying,” the 40-year-old says, still in disbelief.
Complaint to the Guild Master
People whispered that her lip fillers were too sexualized. “Then a colleague complained about me to the guild master, among others. She said I wasn’t suited for the job,” explains the mother of two. Screenshots of her Instagram posts and TikTok videos she made with students were also sent to decision-makers.
Stanojevic posted a photo on Instagram showing her with a gun at the Arzler shooting range. The result: A screenshot of it ended up with the Department of Education, and a complaint alleging unauthorized possession of a firearm followed immediately. “The case was dismissed,” Stanojevic emphasizes. Of course, a classmate took the screenshot as a reason to feel threatened at school. She even demanded personal protection!
I have been the victim of bullying. Now I have reached out to the Minister of Education.

School Inspector and Principal Stand by the Teacher
Eventually, the Department of Education sent the school inspector to the 40-year-old’s class. He gave a positive assessment of Stanojevic’s work—just as the principal did.
Melanie was more than popular with the students. They showered her with praise in letters for her compassionate and professionally competent manner—and for breaking new ground in the classroom. Businesses and a former teacher who served as a role model echoed this sentiment.
Education Minister Informed
None of this made an impression on the Department of Education. Friday is the teacher’s last day on the job. She has since informed the education minister.
