Why are the students and/or their parents surfing XHamster while holding the poor teacher that is providing content in such contempt? You have to admit, there is some hypocrisy there.

Still, I'm willing to consider that teaching/porn may not be compatible careers. In the case of my friend, she was in a creative job and those types of jobs have traditionally been places where people with more "out there" ideas and interests have been accepted, if not welcomed, even in more buttoned down times. It's not like she was a salesperson or in the C-suite. At her last job, my wife worked with a creative guy who was the air guitar champion of the world. I really don't see this as much different.

I noticed that Astellas was flying a rainbow flag at their headquarters on Willow Road and they had a large float in the parade yesterday. Many other corporations also had floats in the parade. I just find it all very disingenuous. It's really just advertising to a particular demographic and not sincere support for living the way a person wants to live.

In the case of Astellas, a friend of mine did good work there for over 20 years before she decided to do some porn in her spare time and was terminated. This had no effect on her work at the company. While it's not exactly the same as being gay, the principle is very similar. It's an employer making a moral judgment on a person's sexual habits. So save me the hypocrisy and your stupid fucking float.


Porn notwithstanding they're probably recruiting more than advertising. See, your gays are good employees because in most cases they don't have family drama & guilt dragging everyone down with them. They're more interested in flowers, fine china (or power tools, engine hoists, as it were). Stuff like that.

Rick, how would acting in a porno adversely affect a teachers ability to teach your kid? I can tell you how being a Nazi would affect it.
Once the students knew it would be shared and talked about.

How would being a Nazi in your spare time adversely affect a persons ability to do their job?

With the amount of porn available online, I would find it highly unlikely the students would find out about it without some douchebag parent bringing it up. But even if they did, I don't see it as being prohibitive from teaching.

Obviously, one of a teacher's many jobs/roles is teaching a student more about just what is inside the textbooks. I have a hard time believing someone with hateful, violent ideology can divorce it from other subjects.

I want to go to a house party of close friends at the Joe Orr house. It has to be like something out of an Andy Warhol dream

If it did make it hard to teach though would you support termination?

There are some professions when your public persona can cause you problems. That is one of them. Probably a good idea to find a different side job.

What if he taught math or gym? It's hard to nazi up those subjects.

It would be dam near impossible for a female teacher to keep control over a high school class if she had videos up on pornhub and her class found out about it.

I get more of a John Waters vibe.
