Re: Judges say Calif. middle school teacher can't shake porn past, must not return to
No, it's not. As we all should know, it often what you do and say to cover something up that sinks you. If she believed what she had done was on the up and up (in the context of later working as a middle school teacher), she wouldn't have had to cover it up.
Indeed, and that's precisely on point. That allows for community standards to fill in the blanks. That would be up to local school boards.
I think that's off a bit. The essential question is does this community want to hire as middle school teachers those who have had violent and/or humilating sex for money on camera. In this case the answer is no. I'd imagine there are folks in the community who aren't particularly religious who feel the same.
I have as well, but none of them have I ever thought for one moment, this is a person I want to be teaching my young children/grandchildren.
She didn't tell them in advance because it was not relevant to her ability to do her job and she knew, like we all do, that she would be likely to face discrimination.
Should gays have to volunteer the fact that they were gay so it can be used against them? Would it be wrong for them to leave a job off their resume because they worked for a gay bar or organization?
So far, no one has addressed the question of gays, who until very recently were routinely fired for ALL OF THE EXACT SAME REASONS AND EXCUSES-that some people dissaprove of what they do and it would be a distraction.
The type of sex she had on-camera is immaterial, we all know she would have gotten fired even if it was soft core "couples" porn. People are using the type of sex she had to paint her as more despicable for their argument, but they still would have fired her even if it wasn't considered extreme porn.
Also, no one has addressed other scenarios that show how blurry the line of morally acceptable can be. Which of these teachers should be fired? Which should be fired for not disclosing their status?
The gay guy who is a gogo dancer in a bar on weekends? (genitals not exposed)
A woman who many people think is a porn star, but she wasn't, she just looks like a particlar one?
A former porn star that changed his/her appearnce enough so that no one knows except you, the decision maker?
A woman who was in Girls Gone Wild flashing her tits during spring break ten years ago?
The guy who used to drink too much and get into bar fights who is now sober?
A married couple who go to swing parties?
Someone who puts their picture on Craigslist looking for sexual partners? What if they didn't show their face, but someone recognizes them anyways?
A Muslim man who publicly calls the US government evil for killing and torturing Muslims?
A Muslim woman who always wears a scarf over her hair? Or one who wears even more traditional conservative Muslim clothing?
Mixed gender roommates who don't have sex with each other, but people assume that they do?
More than two mixed gender roommates who do have sex with each other?
A woman who had a baby that was conceived before she got married?
A couple who live together and have kids and aren't married?
Would your answer be different if a story in the newspaper outed these people?
I guess I've met a better class of sex workers and former sex workers that you did.
