Judge Rules California Middle School Teacher Can't Return to Work Because of Porn Past

A history in porn more dangerous to a teaching career than rank incompetence

A middle-school science teacher fired after students learned she had appeared in pornographic movies had hoped not just to get her job back, but to set a precedent for people looking to escape an embarrassing personal history.

A three-judge commission put a decisive stop to both, saying firmly and unanimously that Stacie Halas should not be in the classroom.

As though I needed another reason to pull my kids out of public schools.

So, realistically, what's the career path for someone who worked a few months in pornies like that? Get into teaching elsewhere or at some other level, such as college? Get back into porn or other sectors of the movie industry? If she's trained as a scientist, I've found that a tough job market. Or get a new identity and this time be better about constructing it?
