Oxnard Teacher Fired for Porn Past
This is getting ridiculous. Stacie halas was a science teacher, then the people in charge found out she had an 8 month career in porn in order to make some money during a financially difficult time. The porn industry is legal, it doesn't hurt anybody excelpt possibly the actors, she didn't rob a bank, she didn't kill anybody or rob anybody. She had sex on film. Evidently, those that were involved in getting her fired have lived a godly life. Maybe they should go back to religion in schools so they would remember that Christ said to the crowd who were going to stone Mary Magdalen that he without since shall cast the first stone. Evidently their were many in Oxnard that have lived a sinless life. She wasn't fired because she wasn't a good teacher. Also, teachers that go on strike do hurt others. They hurt the students who can't go to school during the strike. Maybe they should all be fired.

Jan 16 13 10:36 am Link I was thinking "this, again?", but then I saw that Stacie Halas, California Teacher Fired For Porn Star Past, Loses Appeal. This part made me Student claims that the teacher was moonlighting as a porn star were initially dismissed after school officials said they couldn't find any images of her on the Internet – but they were using the school's computers, which don't allow access to porn. Jan 16 13 10:39 am Link How come I never got to have a teacher with a porn past? Jan 16 13 10:41 am Link 8 months in the porn industry is a lot of sex on film Jan 16 13 10:45 am Link On some level I understand where the school's side is coming from. Schools want good reputations so students will choose their school over other options and it's also part of the parents' decision and I know a lot of parents would not be okay with a woman who did porn teaching their kids. I know my mom would never've liked that very but. But on the other hand, it is unfair as it's the past and they have to understand that some people will do whatever it takes to make money just to put them in the direction they really want to go. I personally don't have a problem with people who do porn and I could care less what my teachers' pasts were like. I don't agree with how they handled that but if I was the teacher, I wouldn't wanna work there anyway if they aren't gonna treat her like the other employees. Jan 16 13 10:47 am Link I blame Van Halen. They introduced Sexy Teacher Anxiety into our educational system. Jan 16 13 10:48 am Link Its pathetic.And if one round all the students up,how many girls are still virgins.And yes,sex is normally between TWO people. Jan 16 13 10:52 am Link How many Oxnard students did or are doing porn to help pay for their education? Jan 16 13 11:00 am Link Should not happen. Our puritanical society strikes again. Suppose I am morally against alcohol. If I found out my child's teacher used and sold alcohol (in a legal manner) could I insist they be fired? Jan 16 13 11:02 am Link OC life is not the life for me.... Jan 16 13 11:04 am Link Compass Rose Studios wrote: Oxnard isn't OC. It's VC. Jan 16 13 11:06 am Link I think it's because all of the parents are trying to convince their kids that they've never engaged in such a vile and disgusting act. Meanwhile, the Dads are probably looking for their missing DVDs so Junior doesn't find the one with his teacher in it. Jan 16 13 11:07 am Link Andialu wrote: The Adolescents lied to me... Jan 16 13 11:13 am Link The court said ""Although her pornography career has concluded, the ongoing availability of her pornographic materials on the Internet will continue to impede her from being an effective teacher and respected colleague," Cabos-Owen said in the 46-page decision issued Friday by the Commission on Professional Competence" Sounds reasonable and logical. The decisions we make have consequences, some quite long lasting, and they may not seem fair but they are real non the less. Jan 16 13 11:23 am Link lame. the school district, not the teacher. it's one thing to fire people for doing things that are illegal (i bet some of those administrators smoke pot) but for something that is legal? this one should go to the supreme court. Jan 16 13 11:27 am Link if you don't like porn don't f*cking search for it already! stupid lame hypocrites. even lamer than lance. lol it's not america the beautiful, it's america the lame. next life i want to be in a different country. i've heard haiti is nice. sean penn and i can hang out there and drink whiskey. Robert Helm wrote: Jan 16 13 11:29 am Link the interesting part is this: "Teachers then showed administrators downloads of Halas' sex videos from their smartphones." so veiwing porn is ok, just not being it it.

Right, wrong or indifferent you can't be a public school teacher and have pornographic images of yourself out there. You know how kids in school are. The school would be out of control. Look up Carol Shaya. she did not break any rules but they drover her out because of a ll the shit it was causing on the street. Other women cops wanted her out because of all the catcalls. She could have done other things to make money. Porn is not the only way to earn cash. There is also cutting back expsenses. This is not a moral judgement. It simply is what it is. She can get a job at the university level. She can get a research job. She could be a third world science teacher. However, she can never ever ever be a public school teacher again. Sorry 'bout that.

So yeah, watching it is fine... because unless the teacher is an idiot, his or her students will never know that they were doing it.

I don't believe anyone should get fired for anything that doesn't effect their job performance. Jan 16 13 12:52 pm Link How did they discover her porn past?

Jan 16 13 01:50 pm Link There may be other ways to make money but when you need money fast and in a decent amount, porn can be an option. Someone can make three grand a week just by masturbating online. Bam. There's your schooling paid for. And young people do have a tendency to make mistakes. They shouldn't be fired over it.

I mean, not her performance itself, I certainly don't think less of her as a person because of this. But I can imagine it must be hard to maintain your position as a figure of authority when you're in front of a class of kids who know about your pornpast and have most likely seen you naked, or will Jan 16 13 02:23 pm Link -Ira wrote: It still doesn't explain how the students discovered her porn career. Were they viewing porn and recognized their teacher? Jan 16 13 02:51 pm Link Anna Adrielle wrote: That is true, and I see the point. But at the same time I believe we should make sure that kids respect anyone who runs their classroom. If we let that fact allow teachers or whoever to be fired we are sending the message that it's okay to not have respect for someone who did nothing wrong to you...

She would have the little bastards' rapt attention all right! Jan 16 13 03:20 pm Link If you've ever been to Oxnard, you'll see that the least of their worries is what a teacher does as her side job. I've been following this in the local news when it first came out a while back and just laughed... There's nothing conservative about that armpit town.

Jan 17 13 01:43 am Link Apparently they showed some of her videos during the hearing.
