Not judging her, she made bad choices, and seems to be moving on. My problem is that she may influence the other kids that do know about her into making the choices she made, under the false assumption that because she made it out alive and healthy, they will too. She is incredibly lucky, and or smart to have negotiated that industry and made it out safely. Her sitting there, attractive and well spoken gives a legitimacy to an incredibly dangerous industry. Children on the fringes, who can be swayed down one path or another with a gentle push, are not helped by her appearance in that school. There are a lot of other people who could and actually do read to kids all the time. It was dangerous to let her read to those kids, not dangerous to the 1st graders, who obviously don't know who she is, but to the older sisters and brothers who do. What happens when these 1st graders go home and google her. Do you want to explain her industry to a 1st grader who happens on her sites?
Ex-Porn star reads to kids

Bill, I see you points. I understand them. Puritan and alike morality has little influence today on kids. Top businessmen, top politicians, top entertainers, government, and almost every public leadership area or public figure upheld has people at their top doing immoral and unethical acts. Being an ex-porn star is almost laughable. Would people be upset if a star rapper know for their drug use, gang involvement, for convicted of killing someone, who turned TV star came into their school to read. No. Or a politician like Cain, who is being accused of sexual harassment. No. Look at Michael Jackson, 99.999% of the grade schools in the country would fight over him if he would have wanted to read in a school. Parents where throwing their kids at him. It is fact, unless you live in an Amish community, as an example, to avoid the threat you speak of .
Well, look son or daughter, you shouldn't go into porn because of the chance at abuse, disease, alcohol or drug addiction. But Dad, look at Sasha Grey, she is rich and beautiful and even reads to kids. Besides, I as a teenage girl or boy believe I am indestructible and there is no way anything bad would happen to me, look at Sasha Grey, she is rich and beautiful, it didn't happen to her.

You say it is Mommy and Daddy's fault for not reseting their web browser.
I don't care about this issue at all. It's all about various agendas of various people, and it's their drama, not mine.
I wouldn't want a rap star with a criminal history, or a politician or government official with a criminal history in a classroom either. Herman Cain should be left out because the allegations are just that, allegations without material support. It is tough for good parents to raise good kids and almost impossible for bad parents to raise good kids. Adding Ms. Grey into the mix is an unnecessary complication that doesn't help parents do their job.
THis is somewhat overblown. I managed to raise two good kids who have managed to turn themselves into good adults. WHile some might say that I was a good parent, it didn't always feel that way-unlike most of the systems I've developed or worked with, kids don't come with any kind of manual. There are a few guidebooks, including the Bible, and all of them have been used to raise good kids, and to raise completely ****ed up ones.
Do you have any idea how many girls/women there are in the sex industry that were raised in a strict, religious, morally rigid environment, where one did not speak opf such things? It's a lot. :lol:

I think you make a good point. But that applies to all entertainers, i.e. Angelina Jolie, passionately kissing her brother, rumors of sex with her brother, drinking human blood, drug abuse, her tattoos, her nude soft porn scenes, etc. Take anyone in the public eye, it applies that they are not ideal role models. Hell Grey is just an ex-porn star, 99.9999999999% of 1st graders have no clue to who she is. I didn't know who she is, but I know who Jenna Jamison is her and Tito where an item, and young boys following the MMA knew who she was. But 99% 1st graders know who Jolie is, and Google has more search results on her and her actions. Pick your poison.

I find it interesting that so many parents knew her old work
Because none of that happen to mainstream actors? Does the name Lindsay Lohan ring a bell? I'd much rather have Ms. grey than Ms. Lohan read to kids.

But you did just judge her as you decided her choices were bad. The only dangers are the ones being imagined by minds locked tight in prejudice.
Sasha can read to me anytime. I'd even let her read to my son.

Mother Theresa has passed.
I respect your views. I think parents with the same views are going to have a hard time finding someone to fit their criteria. I do think the school should have done their homework and notified parents giving them an option. That applies to everyone they host.

I will have bad vibes that an ex adult film star reading for school-children. It doesn't sit right for me. I would rather have a policeman, firefighter, a famous sports star or even the Queen of England read to school-children. I wonder who would be the next guest to appear at an elementary school...Lex Steele? Yeah Lex Steele to teach a math class. Now that's a lot of class.

How about that Sandusky guy? I am sure he would have jumped at the chance.
Probably only for the sweet boys though....
See the problem?
How about Traci Lords?
Her porn career ended over 20 years ago. She's gone on to become a successful actress and musician. Is she still damaged goods?
What is the 'statute of limitations' here?

I feel that it is very clear by the article, that this was a few years ago, and that she has moved on. If it was a matter of breaking the law in some way that would put the children in danger, that this opportunity for her would not have happen.
I have raised two children of my own and from passed experiences, would use situations like this to teach life lessons of forgiveness, openness, and, the fact that no matter what our lot in life is, we can always better ourselves.
We all have choices in life, and at any time when their motivation is right, I feel everyone is entitled to a second chance.
