This new news on an old story
Quebec school employee fired for porn starts her own adult film company

I'll wager she used to proceeds from the out of court settlement with the school board that fired her to upstart her business. Good on her. You go girl.

 

[cupper]

Now she can put out the video with the school secretary and the student body. ;D

 

[Jarnhamar]

Don't really blame the school for making the decision they did.

Really?? Read the article ... she was a school secretary who did not have "students" under her wing. The school board did not fire her because of her making adult movies. The school board offered her another job in a different school that she actually accepted. Obviously, it wasn't the porn or her actions that bothered the school board then --- just her "fame" amongst that one particular school. F'n hypocrites.

She then (after having accepted the new job at the different school) was advised that, at the new job, she would be subject to "restrictive working conditions", ie no internet access etc etc. She said, no. They said, "then you're fired". She sued; she won ... as she should have. And, I hope it cost them a fortune.

You want to consider the school board innocent and moral in this thing ... then read the actual article and explain to me why, if it has anything to do with "her making of porn not being in line with their values", why the fuck were they so willing to just employ her elsewhere in another board location?

She didn't sue; she filed a grievance.  An out-of-court settlement resulted from the grievance.  I would be surprised if the out-of-court settlement amounted to more than the benefits she would have been entitled to had she quit of her own accord rather than being fired.

I suspect that if there was any hope of a successful lawsuit, she would have had no shortage of lawyers knocking on her door and it would not have been a grievance that she filed.

She didn't sue; she filed a grievance. 

..and speaking as a long-time Union steward, I've grievances settled for stuff that wouldn't have a chance as a lawsuit.

 

[Occam]

Exactly.  I think the school board held most of the trump cards during whatever negotiations went on...and she likely knew it.  She doesn't seem to have any reservations in her new full-time career, though.  ;D

Not the point.  It's common sense even if it isn't logical.  Works in a school environment + making pornographic movies means the school is going to find a way to turf her, or like we do int he CF, promote the problem away.
They don't want the publicity. Whether it's a female secretary who has no contact with children or a male math teacher who makes porn with 18 year old legal females, common sense says they will find a way in the system to send her away.

I realize my choice of words probably indicate that I have something against her, I don't, but I also realize the drama that it causes.

The school board did not fire her because of her making adult movies. The school board offered her another job in a different school that she actually accepted. Obviously, it wasn't the porn or her actions that bothered the school board then --- just her "fame" amongst that one particular school. F'n hypocrites.

Semantics if you ask me. The porn (ie her actions) brought unwanted attention so they found a way to remove her ie promote her away.
I agree they are hypocrites.

She then (after having accepted the new job at the different school) was advised that, at the new job, she would be subject to "restrictive working conditions", ie no internet access etc etc. She said, no. They said, "then you're fired". She sued; she won ... as she should have. And, I hope it cost them a fortune.

  A failed attempted to railroad her.

You want to consider the school board innocent and moral in this thing ... then read the actual article and explain to me why, if it has anything to do with "her making of porn not being in line with their values", why the frig were they so willing to just employ her elsewhere in another board location?

Like you said, their hypocrites. I know a few teachers and school boards are VERY biased and hypocritical places.

If students are asking her for autographs and fellow teachers, parents of kids and even kids themselves are possibly watching hardcore pornos of her I'm going to guess the work environment is going to be difficult and I can see problems stemming from it.

The school board wanted her out because they didn't like her extracurricular activities.  Despite the fact that what she was doing was perfectly legal, they had problems with the perceived morality of it.  Distracting?  BS!  If she had landed a starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster, the school board would have been tripping over themselves to cash in on the publicity.  There would have been video clips on the news of kids lining up for autographs and the school board would have loved it.

Maybe that's precisely what the school board is afraid of..... ;D

My point being that it is hypocritical to be happy about the kids lining up for autographs for a star of one kind of movie over another kind of movie.

The hollywood example is a great one.  Personally I would seriously think of changing my childs school if one of the faculty became a hollywood star.  Interviews, Paparazzi,  people taking pictures, TMZ snooping around to see if he or she wipes front to back or vice versa, other childrens parents trying to get noticed looking for the next reality TV gig.

Too distracting IMO.

It's perfectly legal but going back to my example, how about a male custodian (doesn't *teach* the kids) who does group sex scenes with 18 year old girls.  Maybe some bondage or older teacher and cheer leader role play.  It's still legal. What he does on his own time within the confines of the law should be his business but it would would crazy to not expect parents to be in an uproar over it.

It's just how society is. Like  45 year old women lining up for Justin Bebier signed pictures (and going crazy over him) compared to 45 year old men lining up for Selena Gomez pictures. Same same but different  ;D
