Sasha Grey, the porn star who outraged Los Angeles-area elementary school parents after she was invited to read to students last week, said Friday she will not stop reading to kids despite having “a past that some people may not agree with.”
Grey was participating in the National Education Association-sponsored “Read Across America” program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, Calif., reading to first and third grade students. TMZ obtained photos of the actress — now retired from the adult film industry — interacting with children during the Nov. 2 event.
Parents reportedly complained about Grey’s involvement and her proximity to their children, but instead of acknowledging what happened, the school district denied she had been there at all. A representative from the district told TMZ, “We have several celebrities who read to our students each year. The actress you have indicated [Sasha] was not present.”
In this film publicity image released by Magnolia Pictures, Sasha Grey is shown in a scene from Steven Soderbergh's film, "The Girlfriend Experience." (AP Photo/Tribeca Film Festival)
The district’s response was at odds with the photographs posted online as well as a message Grey posted on Twitter last week: “Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st & 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary!”
After news of the incident spread Friday, Grey posted a statement online defending her participation in the program. She called promoting education and literacy “an effort that is close to my heart” and said she would continue to do so.
“I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent,” she said. “I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am. I will not live in fear of it.”

Advertising her reading to the children is the problem. Those kids would not know who she is and neither would anybody else…….unless it was advertised and put up there for all of us to see. If she were about doing the right thing with the kids she would not be twittering about it. Just my opinion. She can add big mouth to her list.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 10:25amThis is no surprise. California’s Governor Brown recently signed a law requiring that the homosexual lifestyle be taught in its public schools. Doors have been opened in CA‘s schools that a lot of parents don’t want opened. Maybe CA’s parents should withdraw their children from the public schools and home school. It might take a mass exodus from the school system to turn it all around.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 11:11amYou are so off base I don’t know where to begin. I have read to kids in elementary school and I am sorry I don’t have a hidden agenda. You can’t assume everyone is out to get your kids. Yes, you need to know who the players are and react pro-actively to squelch these people.
As far as a FORMER porn star reading to kids, I have no issues. She seemed to be dressed modestly and do you not believe in second chances? I mean if you looked back at my history, I made some really dumb mistakes; now I did not do adult film or anything like she did, but wasn’t it Jesus who said, “He who is without sin, cast the first stone”. As long as she stays on topic and the children learn, is that not the point?
The only problem I see is the parents who are complaining are eventually going to be overheard by their children and the children will end up repeating what is heard in the open. So watch your conversations parents. I can see it now, one of the children will walk up to hear and ask “mommy and daddy said you were a ______________, what is that?

She‘s not saying she’s made mistakes and atoned and moved on. She appears to be bragging, imho.
If she engaged any of the kids in a conversation, what would she say to them? She’s not someone who should be “mentoring” children. The school knows it or they wouldn’t have lied about her.
Ca’s public school system has taken a serious plunge south. A mass exodus is probably about the only thing the state will understand. Less kids per school means less funds per school!

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 12:18pmEvery person that teaches children is a role model, consequently the people most people would want teaching their children are individuals who parents would like their children to emulate. I doubt there’s very many people who want their children to be porn stars, just as there are VERY few people who would want ther children to be lesbians or homosexuals, which is why most everybody doesn’t want perverts in teaching roles.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 12:40pmSo quick to judge. We’re taught not to, that is God’s prerogative. We all make mistakes, myself, I have made plenty in my life. Even so what she did in her past was not illegal or inherently wrong, just not proper and morally sound in our eyes. Does that make us better than she is? Some people go their whole lives seeming normal, innocent, sweet, yet are at heart murderous, lecherous, sadistic, sex crazed, whatever horrifying personality or lifestyle defect that makes them insidious and poison in any community. There are plenty of people who have committed more horrible acts and have repented, but such scars stain their own lives.
In the end, she has done no harm, the school obviously kept things quiet because of her past and how parents would react, and as another posted…some parents knew full well what her past is. If anything she is acting as a normal respectable member of the community, and she does not deserve our scorn. If anything, she deserves open arms and a pat on the back for trying to live a more normal and productive life, and even without that, she’s still human and a young woman, and as such, still deserves warmth and kindness.
Lay off.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 1:37pmFirst of all, I don’t have a problem with this person reading to children, as long as the material is appropriate.
But, as far as those comments chiding those who pass judgment, Jesus would not have forgiven this woman, because she hasn’t repented, and doesn’t even believe that she has sinned.
To suggest that we are to treat unrepentant sinners the same way we treat each other, as believers, is absurd. In fact, the opposite is true. We are told to separate ourselves from those who delight in evil
Secondly, the person who (understandably) claimed that Rahab was an actual harlot, is mistaken.
That word for harlot is also used to describe a person of means. the word itself means “well fed”.
The references to her placing flax stalks in order on her roof, and the reference to the scarlet thread that she lowered from her window, suggests that she made linens for a living.
When she asked for her household to be spared, she mentioned her father, her mother, her brothers and sisters.. She didn’t mention any “working girls”

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 5:19pmJericho, the bible is fraught with contradictions of all kinds. Anti-sex, pro-sex, anti-mysticism, pro-mysticism. Even the concept of Sodomy has several meanings depending on which passage you read. Satan has various incarnations from a tester of man, working for God, to a tester of man working against God, to the incarnation of all evil, to the one who rebelled, from being a completely separate category from Lucifer and being as much an individual angel to being one and the same. Heck, we see God go in all sorts of directions, caring and concerned paternal father, vengeful and wrathful destroyer, protector, one who helps the jews usurp lands and rulers. He can go from being very human to being an ethereal master no one can hope to comprehend.
Then there are the contradictions to much of the Torah and the story of the Jews as practiced by Jesus. Heck, half of the laws Jews followed at the time of Jesus, or were supposed to, were written in Leviticus, and all of which were designed around survival and protection of a people who had gone from conquerors when the walls of Jericho were cast down, to enslaved four times and decimated nearly twice as a whole people (babylon and assyria, twice for each ruthless empire). So the question lies in what you prefer to see as the absolute truth. It could be there are real contradictions, or that based on times, atmosphere, even God understands perception and reality clash. Whatever the situation, I follow the golden rule.

It’s said that hypocrisy is the tribute that Vice pay to Virtue. When people stop believing in Virtue they no longer feel the need to hide their Vice and so they are “honest” about their life.

Posted on November 13, 2011 at 3:08amWho cares as long as her intent is to teach children to read, and perhaps help them to go on the critical thinking. It’s beyond obvious that the Public Educations “Educators” are about a thousand times more vile and perverted than Grey might be.
Those making comments about her running for some Political office? So what! If her platform is right and her idea’s are to strengthen the American Republic, why should be be vilified? I seriously doubt she has a perversion of predilection to molesting little kids, so what she once did on the screen should be a non starter.
When I lived in California we were sitting at a restaurant in Los Angeles when a lady who was dressed impeccably came to the table my lady and I were seated at. She asked us if we were planning on voting in the Gubernatorial race, and gave us some materials to read about the platform she was running. She was very well spoken, and obvious intelligent and fluid in her message. Her name was Mary Brown, who my lady and I discovered a few weeks latter had the stage name of Mary Carey, and was a porn star.
I guess the point is, there are things in all of our lives we’d probably like to forget, or even marginalize. Sex obviously sells, and while it stuns some people’s sensibilities, doesn’t mean the principles of all the actors is predatory. The lady that presented herself at our table was smart, and charming, even if we didn’t vote for her. Had nothing to do with her being a porn star.

I’ll give you that you have some good insights into the bible…like that Magdalena is not the whore Jesus saved, which was a concept brought about by the catholic church, and overtime became almost dogma whatever the initial origins of the belief.
However, you seem to have a seething hate for me, one which I have done nothing to earn. So what is your problem? For one, I’m not a hippie, I just believe in mercy, pity, compassion. Heck, even the ways Jews (I’m jewish btw) view the holy scriptures is vastly different today, even amongst many orthodox sects, than how it was viewed 500 years ago, even 1000 years ago. Perspectives change, and with them change the meanings of various messages.
Get off your frickin’ high horse. Hell, you’re already judging me without knowing a damn thing, and your assumptions are so off it’s almost a joke. Maybe you should contemplate your own issues before creating new ones?

You have no common sense at all. I do believe in giving people a second chance but there comes a time when a person’s past bad choices and actions disqualifies them from doing certain things. Out of all the good people in society to choose from, why do we have to allow people with questionable character like her to be the ones to read to our little children. If she was a good choice, then why did the officials from this school lied about her being at the school ? As a Christian I wish her the best in her private life but I do not want her to influence little children in elementary schools even if it’s only reading a book.A good way for her to do some good would be to speak to troubled youths in juvenile detention centers about the horror of pornography and how it destroy lives. It seems to me that this young lady does not think that there was anything wrong with her being a porn star.The more reason to keep her away from little children. Parents who think it’s alright to allow people like her around their little kids are playing with fire.Porn is legal but that does not mean that it is a good thing and good people do not participate in it.

Greys porn star activity doesn’t define who she is as a person, so if she can be used as a tool to help advance reading ie education, I say God Bless her. If she has an ulterior motive it won’t remain hidden, and she’ll be exposed and dismissed.
She sells sex on the screen. It’s not outlawed in America, even if we think it’s immoral, so she’s found a way for her to profit from the talent that she has. If her way of giving back is to help teach kids to read, I say, God bless her.

She is no dummy. She graduated high school early, which shows a little drive (mainly because she hated HS?). Although most kids should be able to graduate high school at 16 IMHO (they do in other western countries). She attended junior college & took acting classes & she is now in some regular films. IMO she used porn to break into acting & pay the bills. Overall I m not sure it is such a great move for her or society.
At that grade level I don’t think the kids know who is reading to them, so I don’t think the kids are being hurt. I also don’t see why stars is such a big deal; anyone could read to the kids. It is as much for good press for the celebs as it is for the kids.

That is missing the point. The school is validating her as a role model. These specific kids may not know what she did, but older kids will and when it is known that she was seen fit to be invited into school it will send a powerful message to lots of young girls and boys. It is one more blow in the coarsening of our culture.

Such a statement is meaningless. You cannot be a conservative, or a liberal, APART from your views and actions. your views and actions make you what you are. If you take a liberal attitude toward what kind of people you allow to teach your children, saying that you are a conservative doesn’t make that attitude conservative. Rather, that attitude makes you less of a conservative in respect to that.

It’s called her own words. Read the story and you can see that she has no problem with having worked in pornography. That is the very definition of non-repentance. I‘m sure she’s a nice girl as far as whores go, and being a porn star is morally indistinguishable from prostitution, but she is in no way a fit moral example for young children. It is not her past behavior that is so bad as much as her continued approval of that behavior. I would rather have a repentant murederer speaking to children than an unrepentant porn star. To not see that she is still an advocate for the porn industry is deliberately obtuse, and I DO get a little angry at idiots who refuse to acknowledge the basic facts here and try to spin that she has turned from her past and has reformed hersels when her own words show otherwise.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 11:33amIt is not BECK who is delusional.
Yes, I follow Glenn, but I have not bought anything from Goldline and I probably won’t. Right now, I don’t think it is right for me. I am unemployed and all my liquid cash on had is going to ME.
As far as the Goldline suit in Cali fornication, need I explain any further. These people said they were promised gold bullion, which they probably thought were those gold bars found in Ft. Knox. The only thing I have seen advertised on Goldline are coins and those small rectangle bars, which I would not consider bullion, but gold bars. This is people who apparently made bad investments with their coins/gold bars and looking for a payout from Goldline for their own stupidity.
Glenn is not responsible how people spend against their coins and gold bars. Get a clue.

But this is a Public school. Were frustrated Fabians , anarchistic malcontents, and a goodly number of genuinely incompetent meat bags, draw paychecks with benefits while they decide what shape our future should take.
Reading to kids? No big deal….At a table on career day? That is another issue.

But she’s claiming to be reformed/retired, whatever. As long as she’s promoting reading and not laying, I’m perfectly okay with her interacting with children. Are we not allowed to change and grow and mature? Can’t we be charitable enough to allow others to do the same???

“Whatever”? There’s a big difference between reformed and retired. We don’t care as much what kind of things she is doing RIGHT NOW as what kind of person she is. A “retired” porn star is not a reformed one. Her character is no better now than it was when she was working in porn.
If I was a thief who stole millions, and then decided to “retire” and “go striaght” simply because I had enough money, money which I STOLE, would you consider me a former thief? I would still be a thief even though I had stopped stealing because I had not renounced and repented of my past at all.

How many perverted teachers are around your our children every day, it seems in recent years they are they are comming out of the woodwork. Does she have a child or grandchild that goes to the school, and who in the school contacted her to come, that is the person you want to address.

But with a fight to keep a moral compass in place it’s going to be a long hard battle.
PS- No I a well as you are not with out sin. But here we go again thanks to William Jefferson Clinton the moral standard in our country is in a spiral decline & it’s being glorified. History repeats itself as seen in past civilizations? Fail
The very foundation of morality our county once operated from had a tenant of tolerance that has turned against the very principals that gave us a compass that worked.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 8:36amZoe… this woman does not glorify sex to these children.
She does not tell them how great DP is. She does not show them her movies. She does not read the books laying spread-eagled and/or topless.
To the children, she is just the nice pretty lady who reads fun and scary books. They don’t know she used to do porn.
I literally cannot see how that would endanger these children’s minds or destroy the fabric of America. The jerks here are the parents who will not allow this woman to leave her past behind, not the woman who gives up her free time reading books to children. We need fewer of the former and more of the latter if anything.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 8:58am@ Eriban “I literally cannot see” so we disagree -
By reading most of the responses most may disagree with me it seems. I am happy for her cleaning up her act. But again, she has chosen a vocation that will cause (some) people to be uncomfortable. So she really hasn’t moved all her pieces of the playing field. Just her nature I guess.

“perceived”? That tells us a lot about your attutude. And for those who believe, as many parents do, that working in pornography is bad, she is STILL doing something bad, which is advocating for such work and implicitly legitimizing it in the eyes of anyone who knows her past, which she has made no effort to hide.
Would you let a former Nazi read to your kids if he still believed that Hitler was right?

@ISLESFORDIAN,
Godwin’s Law: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches. Someone always pulls this card out of the deck, eventually. Try another analogy, please.
Report Post »Islesfordian
Posted on November 12, 2011 at 10:09pmGodwin’s law is merely a statistical observation, not a rule about appropriate historical examples in arguments. And it only has to do with accusations of the opponents of being like Nazis or Hitler. Your citation of the Law with reference to my use of Nazis as an example of a certaoin type shopws a common misreading of what Godwin was talking about.
Try to explain why the use of a Nazi is a bad example in an argument. The use of Nazis works becaue it is a known historical example, thus not imahinary, and one whose moral equation is not in question. Few argue that a Nazi is a bad thing, thus it provides a common base from which to highlight specific logical relations in the argument.
I think the citation of Godwin’s law is becoming a like phenomena to what he observed with regard to Hilter usage in arguments. Those who cite the “law” do so automatically without any analysis as to whether the reference to Hitler/nazis is appropriate or illustrative, as if the mere mention of them sets off an alllergic reaction. It is all so PC, which was not Godwin’s intention in making his obswervation.
