Teacher Stacie Halas, aka Porn Star Tiffany Six, Fired by School District
On Wednesday night, the Oxnard School District trustees voted in closed session to fire Stacie Halas from Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School.
Halas was suspended after a school employee discovered she was performing in X-rated videos. In the porn world, Halas was known as 'Tiffany Six' and starred in flicks such as 'Tiffany Six Shows Her Amazing Hot Legs At Casting.'
Superintendent Jeff Chancer told the Ventura County Star: "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."
Halas, who taught seventh and eighth-graders, has 30 days to appeal the firing. So far there has been no word from Halas on what her plans are.

it means keep religious
it means keep religious morals out of the school. her being a porn start has nothing to do with lack of morals. her personal life and her life as a teacher are two different things. the only thing that should disqualify her are rape or child molestation charges, being a porn star is a legal profession that has nothing to do with her interaction with children. I hope she sues the fuck out of the school board, the government, & anybody who had anything to do with letting people know she is a porn star and or for firing her.
There would have been no
There would have been no disruption if the school had not sent out notices to all of the parents informing them of what she stood accused of. None of the students had any knowledge about their instructor's alleged history, and it's unlikely they would have ever discovered it without the help of the school and that one furiously masturbating school employee who brought it up in the first place. Unless, of course, the parents admit that they allow their precious little snowflakes (ages 12-14) to spend all their online time at home surfing porn.
I'd almost bet that it was
I'd almost bet that it was the superintendent or some other school official, probably watching on the district computer with the office door locked, who spotted her.
If it was a kid or another teacher, they probably would have just blackmailed her for non-monetary consideration.
There are other possibilities, of course. A jilted boy friend?
I think that this is crazy
I think that this is crazy because she was trying to change her life. This is really sad to read.

I wonder if she's available for private tutoring.
This is ridiculous! I hate
This is ridiculous! I hate porn; I think it devalues the people performing in it and teaches the people watching it totally unrealistic things about sex. But to fire somebody just because they used to be a porn actor is not right. They need to be looking at her ability as a teacher; and if she's a decent teacher, then keep her on. I understand, I suppose, that the school might be pressured by the public to fire the teacher; but they could probably still have compromised by finding her a non-teaching position in the school. Jobs are hard to come by right now, and there was just no call to kick her out for this.
Of course she should be
Of course she should be fired, and no, it's not a question of her teaching qualifications. Having worked in public education for many years, I say the school board got this one right: with her background now public, the disruptions it will inevitably cause far outweigh other considerations. She has become a liability the district cannot afford, even were she Teacher of the Decade.
This sounds suspiciously like
This sounds suspiciously like an argument used to keep gay and lesbian teachers out of work.
Then you didn't read my post
Then you didn't read my post closely enough.
What I hear you saying is,
What I hear you saying is, "They should fire her because they will be under too much pressure if they don't." I agree that this is probably exactly what happened. But I don't think that it SHOULD have happened. I think it's regrettable that they were forced like that, and I wish they had not been. She didn't deserve to lose her job over something so totally unrelated to her ability to do it well.
You: What I hear you saying
You: What I hear you saying is, "They should fire her because they will be under too much pressure if they don't."
She needs to be terminated because her continued presence will be a disruption to the educational process. Leaving aside the administrative disruptions -- and yes, a school district does have a moral obligation to be responsive to the desires of parents and residents of that district -- or the fact that she may have violated the morals clause of her teaching contract (most teachers have them), Halas' authority and effectiveness as a teacher have been severely, probably fatally, compromised. Anyone who thinks a woman can stand in front of a classroom full of pubescent boys, half of whom have seen her privates up close and personal performing every imaginable hardcore sex act, and teach effectively has never spent significant time in front of a classroom full of pubescent boys.
(And anyone who wonders how teenage boys managed to get their hands on hardcore porn videos of their teacher hasn't tried googling "Tiffany Six".)
"She didn't deserve to lose her job over something so totally unrelated to her ability to do it well."
In a perfect world, moonlighting as a porn actress may not be related to her ability to teach well. That world does not exist.
maybe in world not mine
maybe in world not mine hahahahaha my wife loves porn
how likely is it for her
how likely is it for her students to have even known about her porn career to begin with. so what if they somehow found out out of the millions of porn titles there are. maybe this would qualify her to teach about avoiding std's and sex ed. she could even give first person examples of how sex is performed for the boys *joke* really though her private life as long as legal has nothing to do with her teaching profession we don't live in the dark ages with the puritans deciding every moment of every persons day for morals clauses, seperation of church & state already.
"how likely is it for her
"how likely is it for her students to have even known about her porn career to begin with"
Seriously? News like that travels FTL. Once one kid overhears his parents talking, the whole student body will know by the end of the next school day.
"seperation of church & state already"
Umm, sorry. What does church and state have to do with this? You seem to be trying to equate morality with religion, almost as if you were implying religion has a lock on morality; that only religious people can be moral; that without religion there is no morality; that it's a violation of the Constitution to publicly advocate a moral position; that you have to be a card-carrying Bible thumper to have morals. Or even all of the above.
Or perhaps you're just jealous that none of your teachers ever turned out to be a porn star.
Do you have a moral objection
Do you have a moral objection to pornography, or for a person who was previously a pornographic actor to be teaching high school? Is there a moral violation somewhere in there that isn't religious in nature?
While this might seem unfair,
While this might seem unfair, I have to admit, it will be a disruption in her classes. Think about what teen-age boys are like. She would endure personal harassment and embarrassment. If school discipline were better, perhaps not. Maybe she could work in a private school, although I doubt it.
Digiteacher is one's and
Digiteacher is one's and zeroes, and while you CAN use those to represent pornographic depictions, if you set up the server correctly, you won't be doing it from the school website, thus preserving the opportunity for serious students to remain immune to the 'hot for teacher' influence and get through their required schoolwork so they don't end up screwed at the employment office later.
The phrase that springs to
The phrase that springs to mind, is that her "position had become untenable". Perhaps it had. If so, is that not for her to decide?
I am still waiting to learn WHEN she LAST performed in one of these blue movies and WHEN she LAST gave permission for these blue movies to remain published. Those questions appear to me to be relevant to the question as to whether it is fair to fire her.
I generally agree with you.
I generally agree with you. But schools are far less disciplined today than when we were in school and I do feel her past would be a disruption to her teaching. She would also have to endure personal harassment from teachers, students, and parents alike.
She obviously made some poor choices in her past (few among us have not) that are coming back to haunt her today.
Like you, I believe people should be given a second chance, but maybe, in this case, the cost to others, especially students would be too high. That's really too bad, but it seems to be the reality.
In her position, I'd resign and seek another line of work. She can probably make far more money in industry than teaching, anyway. That's a shame, too.
Usually performers don't
Usually performers don't really have the ability to retract permission for films to be shown. It's part of the contract that models and actors all end up signing.
I think if you're going to
I think if you're going to make money with your moneymaker, you've changed professions, and there's conflict of interest with continuing to provide instruction in a government-funded public educational setting. Make a choice, spandex or schoolbooks, one or the other, but not both.
What's the conflict of
What's the conflict of interest, exactly?
FWIW, generally when you sign
FWIW, generally when you sign a contract to publish-writing or film-whoever is publishing owns the content. Sometimes that is not the case, but I'm pretty sure it is in porn. And regular movie-Leo DiCaprio can't stop the re-release of Titanic, for example.

I think firings because a
I think firings because a person "was" associated with the porn industry is absurd, particularly if she/he can do a competent job of teaching. If she quits the industry and focuses exclusively on teaching then I don't see what the fuss is all about.
