I don't think the fact that she now denounces porn should have any bearing on her employment status.  Of course she would denounce it when faced with job loss.  There needs to be proof that she was seeking forgiveness before the whole thing blew up in her face.

Why would that matter?

It's easy to confess, apologize, and ask forgiveness after you've been caught at something.  It can make it simple for people to assume that you're really only sorry that you got caught.  I'm not saying that such apologizes are necessarily insincere, just that they can have that appearance.

I don't think that she should have been fired, but the school was probably within its rights to do so.

I don't know, ask someone who believes the stupid shit I wrote.

QuoteShe revealed on Facebook last year that she called cops on an alleged drunk driver.

A stranger took issue with Woodward's vigilantism and chronicled her porno past on social media – which eventually led to an unidentified whistleblower notifying the district.

Now, even with the ocean of information out there on teh intrawebs, it would still take substantial time and effort to connect the dots between a teacher in Texas and her lesbian porn identity under a different name well over a decade ago.  I just don't see how you can spend all that time and effort to uncover a woman's porno past and get her fired.

I mean, without blackmailing her first.

grumbler's school found out he had done porn, but they gambled nobody would bother turning the hand crank to watch it.

It was in black and black, because the color white hadn't been invented yet.

But you can see the school's point of view too.  They will undoubtedly get calls and complaints from parents, especially in Texas, who don't want a porn star, reformed or not, to teach their children.
They would get calls and complaints from parents if she was a real lesbian too.  Should they fire her then?

Parent protests is not a valid excuse for discrimination.
