Not sure where folks get the idea that even if this gal was a wonderful teacher, the porno gigs were not a distraction, <stack any number of unknown factors in her favor>, she is owed a job as a teacher. I just saw lots of folks who were good at their job and had clean backgrounds get laid off at work. So this gal's background caught up with her, big whoop. She isn't owed diddly beyond what she & her employer agreed to and if she deceived on her end, she isn't even owed that.
This foolish woman may end up in a tight spot, given her choice of schooling & credentials that may be rendered nigh useless given her background. She made her bed.
And past lives shouldn't be involved in the discussion of a teacher (assuming she's otherwise doing a good job) staying employed by the school
Bullhockey.
There are any number of "past lives" that employers may not want in their employees. Just because this particular unsavory "past life" is of a sexual nature doesn't exempt it from coloring her prospects.
If she teaches science well, and the kids are learning, I personally don't care if she served a term for murder for the john she had to kill back when she was turning tricks. People CAN change and move on.
The folks paying the taxes and who hire the school educritters may think otherwise and it ought to be their call to make. Some place else might find her past unobjectionable. Let those that pay the costs be the boss.
Most folks don't change barring something really significant/traumatic smacking them in the noggin. And for those that do, the taxpayers aren't required to subsidize them on their journey to better things.
I like the idea of "actions have consequences". However, especially in the age in the internet, the consequences can easily go beyond the level of the actions. People should be allowed to move on with their lives...
IOW, you like the
idea, but not the
practice.
You do have a point in that networked commo and persistent databases can be debilitating for folks who want to shake off their past. I have contemplating starting a thread about this, examining the good & bad of it.
