A Florida mother says her children were expelled from a private Christian school after herOnlyFans car decalsparked controversy.

The expulsion comes weeks after Michelle Cline was told to cover up her prominent decal or risk being able todrop her kids offat Liberty Christian Preparatory School’s main entrance.

Cline tells PEOPLE that she received an email on Feb. 5 telling her that her two children were “expelled effective immediately.”

They also argued her actions violated several Florida statutes, including one that makes it a crime for a person to “knowingly exhibit for a monetary consideration to a minor. a motion picture.”

A Liberty Christian representative did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Monday.

School officials went on to allege Cline “obtained an even larger vinyl lettering scheme that covered the entire back of her vehicle’s tailgate, and mockingly posted a photo of the larger display on social media."

However, Cline says she did not put on a larger decal after the initial incident. She also shares that she has had three vehicles with OnlyFans decals for years but it only got flagged to the school’s attention when another mom complained.

“These cars have had the decal on there for two years now, and that decal that was on that truck, which just simply when we first got the truck, we had the truck for six months, engine blew, and we tossed it, and that was it,” she shares.

“It’s a misconception that I reached out to media for this, I never did,” she says.

Cline says she “certainly never anticipated” the attention she received and “was not looking for a payout.”

“I never expected any of this,” Cline says. “I was totally okay with living my life the way I was living it. There was no issues. There was no major drama.”

Up until the unidentified mom complained, Cline says there were “no issues.”

Jeremy Thomas, LCPS’s head of school, told PEOPLE last week that the school is taking “appropriate action to protect the innocence of children” amid the initial controversy.

In an interview withAmy Robachand T.J. Holmes for their podcast,Amy & T.J., Cline said last week that she had been prepared for the “backlash” surrounding her decal for quite some time.

“I’ll be honest, mine is definitely explicit,” Cline said. “I mean, when I first put it on [last year] and I drove in, I honestly was prepared for this kind of backlash back then. I was prepared for [people] right away to be like, ‘Whoa!’ What’s going on?’ And then I probably would’ve just removed it because it would’ve been an immediate issue.”

The school did offer Michelle an opportunity to re-enroll her kids if she removed her decals, ended and took down “any and all pornographic website(s) and social media under your control, and inform LCPS in writing of these actions and that you desire to sincerely seek repentance and restoration,” per their letter.

Cline tells PEOPLE she’s “not going to back down” though she understands why the school had to take action.“They have to do what they have to do because at the end of the day, they have hundreds of kids to look after,” she says.
