Calif. Teacher Fired for Appearing in Porn Movie

A Southern California middle school teacher was fired Wednesday for appearing in a pornographic movie, school district officials said.

Stacie Halas, 31, a science teacher at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School, had been on paid administrative leave while the Oxnard Unified School District investigated the allegations after they surfaced last month. Oxnard is approximately 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The investigation started when students approached school administrators and said they had seen a female teacher in a pornographic movie, the Los Angeles Times reported. Officials initially couldn’t confirm whether it was Halas — performing under the name Tiffany — because filters on the school’s computers blocked access to explicit websites. The probe was restarted after teachers came forward with cell phone images appearing to verify Halas’ participation.

According to the Associated Press, no students appeared in the video, which was apparently produced before she became a teacher in Oxnard in 2009.

School district trustees voted unanimously to dismiss Halas, the board president said.

Superintendent Jeff Chancer told KTLA-TV there was no realistic way Halas could return to the classroom.

“If she were to return to our school district, it would be a disruption to the education and the children’s learning in our schools,” Chancer said.

According to the AP, the district sent a letter to parents asking that their children not search for the Halas’ image on online sex sites.

“I saw parts of the video,” Chancer said last month. “It’s hardcore pornography.”

Halas has 30 days to appeal her firing.

So let me make sure I understand this…. She teaches at a middle school, which is 7th & 8th grade, ages 10-13. Quoting from the article…”The investigation started when students approached school administrators and said they had seen a female teacher in a pornographic movie”. Is anyone wondering where these 10 and 12 year old students are watching hardcore porn?? Is that of no concern?? I am pretty sure she is over 18 and can do as she pleases and one would ASSUME that teaching in a middle school the students would either not be watching porn or if they were they darn sure would not be telling someone they saw a teacher.

THIS WHOLE STORY IS BS!!!!!!!!!

Once again the media making a story rather than reporting the story.

You know cofmale is a liberal with a name like that. Bet you watch “Glee” and like Bette Midler. Wink Wink…tapping of the feet.

First off I wish I had a teacher that would have done that. I only had one hot teacher all the way though college. Tired of people getting fired for what they do outside work. Except selling drugs. Someone sees something on facebook or wherever they are done. PEOPLE….MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

She is likely in a teacher’s UNION. So firing her means absolutely nothing. In LA County it takes A LOT to get rid of a teacher. For example it costs so much money to get a teacher fired, just in legal expenses and the entire ridiculous process, it is not worth it. They will come to some sort of settlement where she gets paid a healthy severance to avoid the hassle.

her mistake was in not making lesbian movies.
that would make her a role model.

I bet she would have been the most popular teacher in the district.

“The investigation started when students approached school administrators and said they had seen a female teacher in a pornographic movie”

—Oh really? And what where they doing surfing for porn? This is like buying pot from a dealer, smoking it, and then going to the cops whining that so and so is selling pot.

Hey kids, if you don’t want to see your teachers doing porn, STOP LOOKING AT PORN!

Frankly people, I’m far more concerned with teachers that sleep with students, promote socialism, sing Obama love songs, than of some cute teacher making extra money having sex on camera with ADULTS.

Do we fire teachers for having abortions? Do we fire them for being gay? Outside the classroom teachers should be free to do what they like.

this is absurd. was she a competent teacher? if so, then i guess the standard for teaching is you can be incompetent and totally worthless as a teacher, but don’t appear in adult films prior to becoming a teacher. take your students out on occupy field trips and other progressive activities, but stay out of the hardcore porn industry, don’t pose in Playboy, don’t do any of these things that are perfectly legal prior to your carreer as a teacher. i don’t condone porn, but i do support freedom of expression. i hate hypocracy.

What trouble are the kids who were surfing the porn in? Have any parents of said kids been embarrassed? Th real story here is that kids shouldn’t be surfing the net without supervision, special filters..I dunno….whatever. Keep the kids away from the porn. So now somebody who has done nothing wrong is out of a job.

I’m guessing it was straight porn. If it were gay porn they would have offered her movie as a course subject.

It looks like she worked hard to overcome some bad decisions and become a respectable member of society. This is awful. I can see both sides, but I wish that people would have a heart about it. I personally give her a lot of credit. She could teach my kids, no problem.

In 10 years all these new female teachers are getting fired because I think every girl who attended college since 1996 has appeared in a Girls Gone Wild Video.

Does that count as porn? Or what?

There are TONS of proxy sites that advertise the fact they can get around school site filtering, enabling your children to browse anything on the internet with complete anonymity on any school or library computer system. Children in school have become more tech-savy than adults. My recommendation is that all school networks have no connection to public ISP’s and IP filtered to trusted academic servers. Why is this not happening?

Ok, I have a question…why isn’t there a story about parents that beat the He!! out of their MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS for going and looking at porn?????? It would be one thing if it were high schoolers, but hell, middle school kids? They haven’t even hit puberty yet. God help this country and help my kid if I catch them doing something like this! And before anyone says “maybe they were at a friends house”, I think most of us remember our parents giving the other parents free reign to beat our A$$ if we did something like this.

Is this the aftermath of the failed feminist dogma, “if it feels good, do it”?
Looks like it.
If we examine divorce statistics and ‘crimes of passion’ within the broken US dept of education of the past 20 years we can determine that women are much more sexually predatory than……men!
Gloria Steinham and Helen Gurley Brown could never have been more wrong.

  This is a failure of their parents, but ultimately the blame fails on the shoulders of Obama.

  RFYCOM …HOW?! How does this, in any way, shape or form fall on Obama?
  
  “This bird has fallen from the sky to its death in Alaska. BETTER BLAME OBAMA.” Not everything in this nation falls at the feet of the current administration in the White House, and to argue otherwise is not only ridiculous, but lunatic and insipid.
