Remember the good ol' days, when teachers were to be unmarried women of the highest moral character? Parents could be married (in fact, it was preferred), drink, smoke, and carry on, but teachers had to be prim, prissy paragons.
We really don't need those days back. #ddtb

I'm going to be a little ranty for a second. You should probably skip this.
Quoting the Huffington Post:
"Gerardo Sanchez, father of a 13-year-old student at the school, told KCAL-TV that he can't believe this is happening at his child's school.
'School is supposed to be a safe place," he told the station. 'Now, you think twice because you never know what is going to happen.'"
Really, dude? Are you fucking serious? Guess what: your child's school IS STILL A SAFE PLACE. One of your kids' teachers may have done porn — WHEN SHE WAS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR CHILD — and you think the school is now suddenly not a safe place?
Guess what, dude: the world is not a safe place, especially if you're the kind of person who is terrified that you may be exposed to things you personally don't like when you step outside of your house. If you're so worried that your precious little snowflake is going to interact with a person who did something you don't approve of when that person was nowhere near your child, you should move to Mars, build a moat around your house, and homeschool. Also, remember to bang the rocks together, you idiot.
The world is filled with people who do things you don't approve of. Off the top of my head, I can think of something: parents who think a school is suddenly unsafe, because one of the teachers at that school may have done something they don't approve of when they were nowhere near the school.
Even though I don't agree with parents who are losing their shit because of something a teacher may have done away from school on her own time, I completely understand why it would make some of them uncomfortable or angry… but to suggest that it somehow makes the school unsafe? That's just fucking stupid. I mean, that's Sarah Palin stupid.
Okay. Rant over. I told you that you should probably skip this.

Teacher Rumored To Be Hardcore Porn Actress, Removed From Classroom
A middle school teacher has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into rumors that she's also a hardcore porn actress, KCAL-TV reports.
I’ve almost heard coverage of this–as in, didn’t hear the original nugget–but if, as the blurb above suggests, she is a teacher at the same time she’s a porn actress, her teaching salary must be truly minimal.
If it’s something she used to do, well, remember St. Augustine, and move along.
