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.

I thought this kind of thing was OK in California. Is this just a knee jerk reaction? Is the school board just trying to divert attention away from the every day comings and goings in the system? Until the exteremly liberal and permissive system in California cleans up their act and, for example gets the perverts and homos out of the classrooms, I’ll not judge this teacher. In Florida’s government, they just call this their beloved diversification.

“……………which was apparently produced before she became a teacher in Oxnard in 2009.”

No vetting of teachers in Oxnard? Not sure how they can fire her with out being sued if it happened before she was a teacher.

They will not accept sound doctrines to live by! They suffer at their own hands for allowing themselves to be deceived. Pray for the misguided and show them mercy as God has shown you and I for we are all sinners and deserving of death.

  C’mon, although I believe in Gd, you cannot actually believe that every move by man is God’s doing. Remember, God gave us “free will”.

  Joker50: Consider the following:
  God gives all of us free will,…and when we come to the fork in the road where one path will lead us to heaven and one to hell, we have a choice, and God is not responsible for what choice we make. But, if God is all knowing, he would know which path we take.

At first I thought, geeze, cant believe she is a teach, get her out of there; then I realized that a judgement call like that is wrong. A sin is a sin, regardless of the type. Extra-marital sex is no worse and not better than divorce without adultery, no different than homosexuality, no different than theft, coveting, murder, taking the Lord’s name in vein, etc. There is no difference. If we are to be a moral society then I dont think we can pick and choose which sins we will stand against and which ones we will look the other way. If you stand against this woman then you have to stand against anyone who commits any sin for any reason, which is not our designated role as Christians. We are not to judge. I believe an ethics board should simply ask her where she is now in life and that lifestyle is still alive or if it is something in her past. If its her past, let it go.

It’s too bad school boards don’t apply the same scrutiny to curriculum, especially when so much of it is guided by avowed Communists and former members of the terrorist group Weather Underground.

Again, it’s just sex. Why do Americans have such a hang-up about anything where sex is involved. I’m not sure what we are supposed to be protecting our children from. I know that my kids were exposed to sex at a relatively early age and are both married and have happy families. The bugaboo over porn is quite the mystery to me. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

Anybody concerned that the students that ratted her out were JR. High kids?

I think she has a case for reinstatement…. Public schools have been screwing the public for years!

  And I’d bet $1,000 that the children and their parents aren’t being called out for allowing access to pornography to minor children.

In CA, what’s the difference? Have you seen the way the students dress? This teacher was obviously just one of the gang. Only she got paid for her videos, and the students…not.

Nice natural rack. Little big in the **** for me. She does seem to have a preference for big sausage pizza, but she’s a rather messy eater.

I’m relieved to hear about a teacher sex-scandal that doesn’t involve any of the children.

This is actually probably the greatest lesson she could have given to her students: If you tape (or allow someone else to tape) yourself having sex (for money or otherwise) it WILL haunt you for the rest of your life, and more than likely ruin it.

I pray for that woman, that she may find peace.

Question: What were the parents doing, that their children were able to find hard-core pornographic videos on their (presumably) parents devices?

So the students spending time surfing porn sites on school computers studying….. what? There were no projects like that when I was in school. Shows how far our schools are giong in dumbing down the kids. No wonder teachers are getting caught in bed with their students more often.

I once dated a teacher and was shocked at the lack of morals exhibited by her co-teachers when we met-up with them in public. I remember thinking, “I’m glad I don’t have kids in their classes.”

Did I miss some info? Why are middle schoolers looking at porn anyway? Not saying it’s okay, but her students saw it and that means 6, 7 and 8th grade.

I wonder how many lawyers and teachers put themselves threw college posing or performing in such movies, or clubs. I’m betting a bunch. Its easy money, not saying its ethical, but easy. Lets see here, California, gvmnt there left, correct? Why are they all of the sudden concerned by what a woman does with her body, frickin hypocryts. I thought they were big advocates of sex ed too, wouldn’t she make the perfect sex ed teacher? LMAO!!

As long as she was doing what her job required I see no reason why she should be fired. Was she a good teacher? Did she motivate the students? As long as the two jobs were kept separate there is not problem. Who was the person looking at porn who turned her in? Did they lose their job. So if you smoke, weight too much, drink too much, hang out with the wrong types, or read playboy big brother has the right to fire you. What about her rights? The nanny state protecting our children is destroying your rights.

  Good question, didn’t the story say the students brought this to the attention of the board. How the hell did middle school students get a hold of this? No I’m not ignorant I know how, just saying.

The teachers union will never allow her to be fired. She’ll receive full pay and benefits to “stay home”.

I’d like to hear the clever comments the kids made in class while she was teaching, after they found out about her earlier career.

When are we going to stop attacking the symptoms of the pornographic disease that is perverting the minds of human beings from their youngest years and affecting their moral decline as adults? The kids were watching the pornography before they discovered Halas. If we don’t fix the ability to keep pornography away from our youth, each succeeding generation will drift further and further away from God, further from morality and the nation itself will crumble. No adulterer will enter the kingdom of heaven. His will will be done to us on earth as it is in heaven. We will never have national strength raising children with perverse minds.

If the porn movie were about two male sodimists performing their sexual acts they would have been promoted .

Did she lie on her employment application? If not they have no right to fire her.
