Wow, just wow. Well, at least this post makes it clear how people project their own bigoted value judgements onto others.
For the record, I am the father of a first grader.
It's pretty obvious why it's a concern. People who don't respect themselves, there is no guarantee they will respect your child. It's about the boundaries they are willing to cross and I wouldn't be comfortable with a male porn star teaching high school girls in any form, qualified or not. Luckily our society already takes care of this problem on its own so you're in the minority. You can say I'm "uptight" but when you have kids someday you'll understand. I'm not taking that risk with mine, not happening.

It's similar to a pitbull that's been "rehabilitated" after fighting. Would you feel comfortable with your little kids adopting one? If so, more power to you. There are plenty of regular dogs that need adoption, and one that I wouldn't be nervous about. I'm not taking the risk of something reverting back to its old behavior with my kids.

Even funnier, a teacher who obviously didn't respect themselves who is now making porn:

The Puritanism of this country is just ridiculous. Looking at those pictures, what I see is a cute young woman, dressed conservatively and appropriately, reading with enthusiasm to a classroom of small children. It's not as though she is telling them war stories about her life in porn, and I can't imagine these second graders know who she is. I see nothing wrong with this.
I would agree it could cause problems if she were teaching high school kids, since she has been a prominent porn star in recent years, but that's not what this is, by a longshot.
Honestly, who gives a crap?
Just because someone was a porn star doesn't mean they should never be able to interact with children.
Just because you don't respect what she did doesn't mean she doesn't respect herself.
"I'm not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it," Shepherd told Page2live.com. "I'm an educated woman, but I never thought it would come to this. No one gets brought up thinking they'll be a floozy."
Let's also consider that she was probably at the school using her real name, not her stage porn name - that may have been what confused the school rep.

You're the reason people think conservatives are stupid, and scoff when conservatives preach about "freedom" and "liberty."
Yes, we do have to ask why, because your attitude is moronic. Just because someone was a porn star doesn't mean they should never be able to interact with children.
She hates herself if you read the link.

First graders ask questions, lots of questions. Guaranteed at least one them asked what does Miss Grey do? My dad is a fireman, my mom is a nurse, Miss Grey what do you do?
Oh I am like a special secretary, I take dick-tation all day and night.
WTF, seriously do you have to ask why?

Well let her do something else till she's about 40, then she can return to the classroom. There is no way in hell a porn star should be allowed to read books to children of any age. And I am not knocking what she does, but some things we do in life do disqualify us for other things, even if for just a period of time.
I never said never. Read all my posts next time....lets try that
Me conservative.............................???????????????????

Yes, OK, you threw out that ridiculous thing about making her wait until 40. The fact remains that there is no rational basis for keeping her away from kids. "I'm not knocking what she does" - that's a good one. Of course you are, you see her as "tainted" and unfit to be near children. That's tantamount to saying "I'm not racist but I don't want them living in my neighborhood."
Here is the thing. Parents have the right to decide who they think is appropiate to be around their children. Now on a serious tip, seeing as though she just "left" the business last year, it is still fresh in people's minds of what she did to make money. No school should have the right to parade anyone they want in front of somebody's kids. In reality, being truthful, is she hurting anyone, no. But I bet the responses here would be different if Louis Farrakhan showed up to read in that class. And I bet not one child would know who he is anymore than they know who she is.
You object, yet you're avatar looks like a porn star, there are children on this forum you know. D: Oh noes!!!
That shit is contagious.I don't understand what the objection is.
So she used to be a pornstar, does that mean she's never allowed to work with children ?
What exactly is the risk we're worried about here ?
