Oxnard science teacher Stacie Halas, once known as "Tiffany Six," has been fired from her job at Haydock Intermediate School in Southern California. Stacie did porn before she became a teacher- so-fucking-what? I don't understand how an individual can be fired from their job as a result of their previous LEGAL job. Porn is legal. PORN IS LEGAL. Why don't people understand this?
I understand that not everyone agrees with the making/viewing of pornography. Some people believe that pornography is immoral and disgusting. Fine, those people are entitled to their opinions (regardless of the fact that I think they are wrong!) Personal views aside, it is a legal industry in this country and nobody should be fired for having engaged in a legal industry. I've read that she was fired due to her immoral past behavior. Actually, the school district's exact words were "we feel it's a crime as far as moral turpitude is concerned.” Idiots. What more can I say?
Who determines what's immoral and what's not? Morals should have nothing to do with this decision. The simple fact is that Stacie Halas used to do porn, and now she's a science teacher. Whether you like it or not, the woman did nothing wrong and did not deserve to be fired. Quite frankly, I'm outraged.
School officials agree that Halas did not commit any crimes, but the discovery of her past is causing a disruption in the classrooms. So, basically her students are acting like shitty brats. Does this mean that any teacher with a classroom of difficult students is in danger of being fired? Shouldn't the blame fall on the shitty students for being disruptive, rather than the teacher? If students are acting inappropriately, they should be disciplined (not in a ruler to the backside sort of way, but the normal way. What do they do these days? Time-outs? Detention?)
I feel upset and disgusted by this story. She has 30 days to appeal the school district's decision, and I hope that she finds the support and strength to fight back. I would love to contact Halas. If anyone reading this knows her, please pass this along to her and/or comment below.
