With all of the lawsuits and concern over the rare sexual predator in schools, people with dodgy pasts have no business teaching. It doesn't matter how "competent" they might appear to be in a classroom. They are too risky a hire, and, as subsequent events have shown in this case, these people can have a harmful effect on the school environment. How the hell COULD she teach anymore when it came out she had this pornographic career? It was simply impossible for her to perform her job anymore.
It has nothing to do with double standards or prudery. She has displayed rotten judgment; don't tell me she didn't have other occupational choices available before she went into teaching like virtually everybody else does. Nobody told her she had to exploit herself for money. Too bad, so sad she wasted thousands of dollars pursuing a career for which she had to know she was unfit to perform.
I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for somebody who refused to disclose her "past" with the school district. Lying on a teaching application can get your teaching license suspended. People have had their careers destroyed for a whole lot less and can't get back into teaching. Of course she wouldn't be hired anywhere involving teaching; anybody who has done anything remotely similar to what she has done wouldn't be hired. Not only wouldn't be hired, but there is a good chance she might never have gotten her license in the first place. Some states are very strict about that.
I hope her license is revoked.
