Current Events > Is it fair for former porn actresses to be fired once their past is discovered?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've heard some who have become teachers but get fired once it is discovered that they used to be in porn.

It's not fair, but it is understandable

That mother fucker Jameel leaked it all to Big Boss!!! >:V

Yes, it's fair

If a former porn star wanted to work on say sesame street, that would be totally fair.

On the other hand if a former porn star decide to get a degree and become a physicist, her being fired from her job would be incredibly unfair.

It depends on the type of job and what is being promoted.

I have yet to see a legitimate reason why a business shouldn't be allowed to terminate someone's employment for any reason.

Fair enough. This day and age they should know about the consequences, or maybe sacrifices is the better word, before signing up. In other words, getting rich by fucking on camera comes with a price and one of those prices is not being very employable for real jobs. People in the workplace WILL find out and then it becomes a huge distraction.

I don't think it's fair but it's one of the risks you take by being involved in the sex industry

No, I think it's BS.

What types of careers can they make after?

Depends. For most occupations, no. For something like teaching, yes.

Why does it matter if she is teaching?

I mean worst that happens is the young boys wank to her old videos

unless those kids are looking at porn w/fucked up parents, the teachers past should be irrelevant.

You can be fired from your job because people complain about what you said on Facebook or even in private, even if it was recorded without your knowledge and then leaked. Whenever that comes up, a lot of people say fair, next.

Knowing that, It's a bit hard to be sympathetic to a porn actress who wants to be the most influential adult authority figure to groups of children, not including their parents.

Why?

Depends. For any normal job no but religious shit, I'm fine with it. Expecting religious organizations to employ "sinners" by their standards is unreasonable.

Also, if they can be googled and their stuff can be easily found, it can hurt their employer. I don't think teachers should be fired (states shouldn't make those moral pronouncements) but if their students can find them naked, there can become a real respect issue there.

So youd be ok with someone being fired because of the color of their skin or sexiality? Racist.
---

Sadly this is only an America thing at least in the west. They are ashamed of their own sexuality and therefore try to shame others.

Europe for instance has many politicians, famous celebrities, musicians, artists, athletes, etc.
That had done either softcore photoshoots, pornography at one point or something and no one even cares. Wait this lady did 3 porn films back in 1991 and is running for town mayor in 2009? Yeah sure get her she is great with the public and very professional.

Actually this isn't racist.
It's naive dogmatic for free market but not giving special protections isn't the same as being in favor of discrimination.
If you think it's racist, who is it racist against? Because under his view, even whites could be fired for being white. Likewise, any race.

I don't entirely understand the issue with former porn actors and actresses working near children. I can't imagine an explanation that isn't steeped in religious morals and terrible logic.

Kids might Google him/her and find their adult work.

This.

Particularly in the case of a teacher, can you imagine that teacher being able to hold a legitimate position of authority over their students after something like this leaked? Kids would be watching the videos in class, seeing what it's like when Ms Wilson says things like "stick that big c*** inside me right now".

If you have kids around ages 7-10 watching porn, then their parents failed somewhere.

I found a few Playboys when I was 8 or 9, because my dad is such an idiot he thought under my bed was a good place to hide them.

what if they do a porn in front of the kids?!
---

Nope. I also don't think it's true that somehow the children wouldn't be able to see her as an authority figure. If a teacher gets pregnant, do the kids suddenly start making comments about how she must have been getting railed? What if the teacher isn't married?

Which would be hard to legislate and "unfair" and stuff so it would have to be acceptable/legal accross the board.
---

No, but it should remain confidential.

If you are morally against porn, I can't possibly imagine how the fuck you could also be against former porn stars being employed in other fields.

this, exactly. you represent the people you work for and if your past or present actions would reflect negatively on them it is fair, next.

They already see them as beyond redemption most likely. And obviously you can claim the moral high ground while wanting people out of work for formerly having sex for money.

I dunno, sure it would give unruly kids ammunition, but in the end if kids are doing that in the classroom, then the teacher has already failed. If she's a good teacher, she can work around it.
---

I don't think it's fair, but regardless of that there is a stigma behind it and if you do porn then you have to understand the risk behind it. Personally I would just say not to do porn because it just might not be worth it in the long run.

Honestly, you would think religious jobs would be the first to open their arms to an ex porn actress. Isn't the main tenets of most major religions about forgiveness, repenting, and living anew with gods influence? Would make no sense to fire someone if they have done all that within the bounds of your religion. Just seems hypocritical
---

They shouldn't be. It's just sex on camera. People gotta get over petty shit like that.

You know, when I had to go to Sunday school, they taught that every one was guilty of sin. Why single people out for one sin, but not others? Especially if it's a sin they're not committing any longer.

Of course.

no, thats stupid bullshit lol

No, I wouldn't, but why should an employer be forced to hire someone if they're going to have a problem with their skin color? All it'll do is cause problems.

Most businesses, when confronted with a situation where the best person for a job happens to be a minority, will hire said minority. The rest will suffer for hiring a less-talented individual.

Besides - wouldn't you rather know that the management of a business is full of bigots, and choose not to do business with them? I guarantee you that, for all your self-righteousness about racism, you're directly financing racists because they can hide it better.
