I'm not sure why her being an ex porn star is legal reason to be fired from her current teaching job. Thoughts?

(PS--I've yet to look up her films, but I will.)

Being actively involved in adult films?  Sure.

12+ years ago, and she denounces the business?  No.

From a parents perspective: One the one hand stop being a prude, on the other morals and what not. Plus it'd be hard to be an authority figure to kids once they've all looked up your videos on line?

But i'm not a parent so... null vote?

Is it that important that she denounces the business?

Btw, interesting first couple of paragraphs.  :lol:

Well that's her problem.

But then it effects her efficiency as a teacher.

But I don't want to discourage people from getting into porn, cause more boobies is good boobies.

Well the school is relying on a "good character" clause in her contract to terminate her.  Certainly her current attitude towards porn is more important than her actions a decade ago.  As a parent I'd be much MORE upset about a teacher who goes "pornography is awesome!  You should totally try and get into the business", than one who had made some movies in the early oughts but now talks about the failings of porn.

Maybe she is really good and it doesn't faze her. Who knows?

There you go. Maybe a teachable moment.

Don't become a slave to some evil industry. Make your own at home and post it on pornhub.

I used to read the sun. it was more convenient to read on the subway (the star is too "foldy" and ungainly). But then they put in wifi so I read stuff on my phone.

No. It's a stupid knee-jerk decision.

There is exactly zero evidence provided in the article that her former career impacted her abilities as a teacher in any way. Rather, she was "outed" by some busybody to the school board, apparently in revenge for her "outing" of a drunk driver to the cops.

In short, she is being "punished" via internet troll shaming for displaying civic mindedness and supporting the work of the police. A wonderful message for the kids!

That's not the argument being made.  Rather that, now that she has been outed, it will impact her performance.

I used to work for the Winnipeg Sun.  My dad got me a job - total nepotism. :shifty:

And they put in WiFi on your subway?  I am officially jealous. :mad:  My commute is half-underground, and half-aboveground, so I have to pull out my phone only when I'm halfway home.
