No real winners here.

A Stacie Halas, a middle school science teacher in Oxnard California. The students at the school discover her prior adult video career as "Tiffany Six."

She did not violate the penal law, she did not violate her contract with the school district, however, even if she keeps her job they are going to go out of their way to find a reason to fire her and not support her career at all.

Kids will be kids. How can she be an effective teacher now?

It reminds me of the mid 1990s NYPD Officer Carol Shaya does a Playboy shoot and although it does not violate any law or employment rule, the bottom line was she lost her job.

Stacie Halas was reported to have earned about $10,000 in the course of her adult video career.

Carol Shaya can not have earned that much for a one time shoot.

Both women lost their regular jobs, benefits and pensions.

Both jobs are high profile, with a degree or public contact where they have to get people to voluntarily comply with them and take them seriously, people being what they are, kids and the everyday people on the street are going to talk trash.

No opinion here, it just is what it is.

Sad.

I'm sure they'll end up saying she lied on her resume or something. People make choices or mistakes in life--it's how they impact me that makes me form an opinion.

While I'm sure the parents are probably up in arms about their kids' teacher being a former adult star, I think the bigger issue is this...

Why are their own MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS watching porn to begin with? What are the parents doing... or not doing... that their middle school children would even know who an obscure porn star really was to begin with???

You have to be real.

When I was in fourth grade in the 1970s there was always the one guy who got his hands on a porno mag and everybody had to see it.

It is one kid that took the time to find it or stumbled on it and everyone else is curious.

When I was in High School in the 1980s, I worked at a movie theatre, in the next building was a photogrpahy studio where they shot pornography.

One time we saw a bunch of negatives, model release, photos with ID in the loose thrown out in the dumpster.

It had real names, home addresses, etc.

We glanced at it and left it there. This was before the web.

We were too busy working, saving money for cars, travel and boats to care.

With the web these days it just takes one person with free time.

At 32, she probably still has a MILF career to fall back upon.

---

Or she could capitalize on her newfound celebrity, write a book, sell TV interviews and speeches, and run for City Council or Mayor..

---

I hope she had her intellectual property rights nailed down in advance for her body of work as a porn actress.

---

On the other hand, the administrators and HR people who hired her as a teacher in Oxnard should also be fired for not doing their research and due diligence. Incompetence and lack of responsibility on their part should not be rewarded.

Thanks to Google and everyone else indexing all the information in the universe on Internet now, personal privacy no longer exists in this country.

12 year old keyboarding kids can find that kind of information in mere minutes.

---

If she was really serious about keeping her job as a grammar school teacher, she should have put her porn experience on her resume and dealt with it honestly at the time, before seeking that line of work.

If she's not smart enough to see these obvious consequences, then she's probably not smart enough to teach other people's kids.

/random thoughts


Her life, her decisions. Free will. She's an emancipated adult.

We are all vulnerable to invasion of privacy and harassment now, for anything we do.

There are no clear winners, here. On the one hand, you've got a bunch of idiots insisting that their invisible sky-daddy figure says it's BAD, and on the other you've got someone who clearly doesn't care to understand that there are consequences to one's choices.

Yes, all those consequences for sexual mores that are nobody else's business. 

But maybe you're right.  Maybe she should've known better.  Just like all those gay couples who can't marry where they live. 

They should've known there'd be denied that right by bigots who would disallow it.  How infantile of them to assume it was their right to do what they wanted with their bodies.

No one stopped her from doing anything she wanted to do with her body. And I bet she's completely free to go back and do it again if she wants to. Based on her value in that marketplace of course.

But as a teacher, get this because I know it's a hard concept for a lot of you, AS A TEACHER IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT HER!

Oops, there's that maturity thing again that says more than just you exist in the whole wide universe and that "other people" actually exist and aren't just actors in your own little drama.

I don't think that the teacher should lose their job, but it will make it a bit more difficult for the children to take her seriously.

It's down to the kids, but they're too young to simply let it go. A bit young to be able to find that sort of thing too... Not too young to be curious, but damn.


There's a guy on Youtube who made pro-atheist videos, and it was discovered by his students who suddenly took a mass-hatred to him. Weird.

Don't need no sky-daddy (thanks for the bigotry) to understand what she believes about sex. One being that you can sell yourself for money and it's perfectly acceptable.

One need only be a parent to decide if you want your child involved in a forced association with people who believe such things.

I'm going to disagree.  Buy I could be wrong in my reasons.

I've lead to believe that one's resume should not necesarily include all job experience but rather, relevant job experience.  Because otherwise, you might have several pages of work experience when resumes should be 1 page (2 pages?).

Yeah, you're right. I concede on that point.

I was just mulling out loud.


Resumes are sales documents. It's the job of the people hiring her to vet her.

Google her fake name.

Look how much comes up. Her porn will come at you like an avalanche.

This is a lot more than "at least one video"  .. or youthful indiscretion, etc.

“It has been alleged that one of our teachers is depicted in at least one pornographic video and possibly others on the Internet,” superintendent Jeff Chancer said in the Tuesday letter to parents at the district’s three junior high schools.

What a ridiculous understatement that is.

If you want some serious SEO, latch onto some of her tags now.
