Should Former Porn Star Turned Teacher (Stacie Halas) Be Terminated Because of Her Past?

Should a teacher be fired just because she previously worked in the film industry as a porn star?  Stacie Halas is the Southern California science teacher who was placed on administrative leave because of her former career as a porn actress according to The Smoking Gun.  Stacie, 31, was apparently dismissed from her post as a seventh- and eighth-grade science teacher at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School in Oxnard, Calif. because of her appearance in a pornographic film shot prior to her employment as a teacher.  Her pornographic career occurred from 2005 to 2007 which was prior to her being hired at  Oxnard in 2009.

However, when she appeared in "No Cum Dodging Allowed #7" in 2006, she was apparently employed by another California public school district.  She apparently admitted in an interview associated with the video that her film career was "very risky for me, 'cause I am a teacher," according to The Smoking Gun. The Oxnard school board voted unanimously to remove Halas in April.  According to the Los Angeles Times, Superintendent Jeff Chancer said, "We're dealing with the disruption that we believe it would cause our district, and the schools in our district, if she were to return back to the classroom...  Maybe it's not a crime as far as the penal code is concerned, but we feel it's a crime as far as moral turpitude is concerned."

Halas' contract apparently does not contain a moral turpitude clause. While California law prevents those convicted of certain crimes from working in public schools, Stacie apparently has broken no law. However she may be terminated if their is evidence that her private life is affecting student education.  There in lies the debate. The conduct occurred prior to her employment.  Furthermore, the filming did not involve the school or any students. What rights do teachers have outside of regular school hours? Teachers typically complain that they need two incomes in order to be financially comfortable.  Should they be prohibited from working at a strip club or even Hooters during the summer vacation?
Should school officials punish teachers who moonlight as bartenders, waitresses, or even lawnmowers if there is a chance it may disrupt student education?

Halas is appealing her dismissal.  The case will likely be heard by an administrative law judge.  Legal Pub is predicting that Stacie wins her appeal based in large par upon her star appeal in these photos.  LINK.

I feel the only way this will effect the students if they search "No Cum Dodging Allowed #7". THANKS to the media attention. It now will be done. Sounds sort of silly doesn't it? Maybe they believe children will seek out porn as a second income. Regardless. I am not sure what to think of this. Personally I have no problem with porn. Children will do as they want in secret. But when they are adults. Some may seek porn out. Some may not.

Pretty seductive looking teacher. Got to be a distraction to young studs.

LOL…I think there is a specific age that she would be a distraction to her (male) students because of this and that would be High School.

Maybe the school board should use this to their advantage.
Let her teach Community Collage and watch the male students suddenly take an interest in science class and do well as they will try to impress her.
Let her teach grammar school and watch the male parents show up for the parent teacher conference and take an actual interest in their child’s education…and more than likely their child will show an improvement since the male parent will wish to impress her too.

The High School boys will be too sore to study and won’t tell their parents why…and this could be a distraction.

But I should probably do more research before I make a logical decision, where do we see this video on the web??

She could actually legitimize the porn industry by being an "art teacher."

This Stacie Halas character has no shame at all.

Also, California is decadent. But no surprise there, Cali is bastion of liberalism.

Can a porn star become a US president? If not, why not?

Here's some distractions:

*FAT teachers, kids are distracted because they laugh and make jokes behind teacher's back

*Teachers who've been caught doing anything that would cause kids to comment on or discuss. Smoking, drinking, wearing clothes that are not in style or don't fit

*Inability to teach. Now there's a pretty profound distraction and one that seems pretty common. Look at where Calif ranks on the lists of least effective schools (hint) behind Arkansas

*Constantly being reminded that those who run the school districts can't balance a budget and may be guilty of fraud, etc. (felonies)

and on & on

No, the only distraction Stacie might be guilty of is being SMOKING HOT! This then would create jealous behavior among the fatties at the school and result in the non gay male teachers to stare at her sweet a$$ and hot bod! Oh and the teachers male and female would too be distracted because they would be watching Stacie apply her previous trade every chance they got!

Yeah, forget that she was a good teacher, she's got to go!
