Yep, any day now the goon squads will be kicking in your doors at 3 am and drag your families out into the streets as they ransack your homes and cart your guns away. You'll then be enslaved to work in the salt mines for the rest of your lives. Goddamned liberals!

She's living proof you can bounce back from bad choices - and I don't even agree that being in porn is a bad choice. Getting paid to have sex - something everyone does anyhow? Beats digging ditches. No, this sends the message that if you make a - so-called - mistake in America the morality squads will fuck you over for life.
That's an excellent point. Also, we as a country need to get over our embarrassment of sex (despite the fact that we all clearly enjoy it)...

I think that is the point though. Being a teacher is all about image. As long as you have a solid grasp of the subject matter, can command respect in the classroom and no one knows that you sold Meth to make it through college... You can be a good teacher.
The instant that image is tarnished though, there goes the respect and most likely your job.
The judge said she wouldn't be a good role model and there I disagree. She's living proof you can bounce back from bad choices - and I don't even agree that being in porn is a bad choice. Getting paid to have sex - something everyone does anyhow? Beats digging ditches. No, this sends the message that if you make a - so-called - mistake in America the morality squads will fuck you over for life. So yeah, the message it sends kids is toe the line like a good drone or you're fucked - and not in the good way.

You have the innocence of children and the impurity of a whore. It's a theological conflict of dualism between good and evil and that she may corrupt their innocence. It would be interesting to see how many members on that panel are associated with religion and used that as fuel for their decision.
Granted, it seems like a lot of kids these days are pretty fucked up as it is and don't need help.

I can kind of see the argument both ways.
I'm a little divided on this one as well. Former Pornstars seem like an easy target, but if they are talking about teachers having to be good role models in order to keep their jobs...
That is a hard policy to enforce if your past doesn't leave a trail that can be downloaded from online. I don't think there was a single teacher (pre-college) that I considered a good role model to me. I respected a good number of them, but none stood out to me as "I want to be like them". Especially the drunks or the male teachers that were a little too friendly with the female high-school students.
I think that is just the nature of the profession though as people are super defensive about their children and you need to be able to command respect from the students. If you are going to be a teacher, make sure your slate is clean or your skeleton closet has some good reinforced hinges. |

Their argument was that she wasn't upfront about it but who the fuck would be? I think the best argument is that kids are really immature and it would be too much of a distraction because lord knows they will never let that shit die. I still think she should get a fair shot somewhere else though. I don't sweat the "do you know who is teaching your daughter?!" stuff because most teachers have skeletons in their closet anyway, just not publicly accessible ones. |

We're just socially retarded in this country. (Well, most countries.)
It's OK to be any religion you want, or none at all, except that we make laws based on morals from one religion.
It's 2013 and you can be fired from a job because you once made an adult film.
It's 2013 and you cannot make your own liquor.
It's 2013 and we want to take arms away from innocent civilians while the President and Attorney General are letting Mexican drug gangs cart weapons across the border that end up killing US agents.
Did you ever look back on somebody like the Romans and think "Man, that society was FUCKED up. Look at all the silly shit they did." Because if you take a step back and look at our society, we are ridiculous. |

You got off easy Verno, when we were kids my younger sister "wrote" on the walls with her own dirty diaper while my mom was on the phone once. 
On a side note, about that teacher who apparently can't be a teacher because she was in porn...am I the only one that finds that really messed up? She didn't break any laws, she didn't do it while being a teacher....I don't know, it just seems wrong to me. The Internet has made it so every thing we do in life is recorded in some way, and yet being human we are all going to do things that later on in life we probably wouldn't do again or we wish we hadn't done. If she had broken laws or been using her classroom for a set that would be different. I mean are they going to start making an effort to track down where every porn star is now so we can make sure they never hold a job where we expect them to be "role models"?
Also, I am waiting for the inevitable TMZ report where one or two of the judges that made the appeal decision are caught with prostitutes or own stock in an adult film company.
Yeah I found that pretty messed up too. People do plenty of stupid things in their youth and holding them accountable for the rest of their life seems really stupid and judgmental. People just go all sorts of crazy when THE KIDS are involved. If anything I'd say she has better morals than the average person who wallows in self pity instead of changing their life. |
