In newspapers and websites across the country, media companies published an article written by Heather Hollingsworth of the Associated Press entitled “Teachers have been outed for moonlighting in adult content. Do they have legal recourse?”
The article cites personal freedoms, needed income and discrimination as reasons that teachers should be able to continue to pursue their newfound wealth and opportunities that porn sites offer.
The issue has come up, so to speak, due to two English teachers from a small rural Missouri high school in St. Louis who posted sexually explicit content on the subscription-based website OnlyFans. It’s a website that Hollingsworth admits is for those “willing to dabble in pornography to earn extra money.”
OnlyFans, as explained on Wikipedia, is a website company based in London that is used primarily by sex workers who produce porn. It also hosts content from other creators such as musicians and physical fitness experts. Money is generated by the content providers through monthly subscriptions, tips and a “pay-per-view” system.
Hollingsworth explains how the teaching field is “low-paying” and that the content is posted anonymously. She also points out how people in prominent fields such as law and teaching have been losing their jobs after schools, parents, employers and co-workers find out about their after-hour “activities.”
And that’s just not fair. Teachers and lawyers need to pay off their student loans. Biden isn’t helping them enough.
One of the teachers posted on her Facebook page that she was “tainted” from the experience. Not tainted from exposing herself to millions of people but because she was “caught” exposing herself to millions of people. She was suspended by the school. The other teacher resigned.
Alarmingly, the teacher who resigned actually did a YouTube interview and said she’d be willing to do a film with former students. But why stop there? Why not a current student? Isn’t this a “first amendment” issue? Leftists always start loving the first amendment when they want to do immoral and vile things – just like the current anti-Israel crowd.
Mike Stabile, spokesman for the Free Speech Coalition, points to the pandemic as a reason why websites like OnlyFans have grown in popularity. Stabile says, “I think that there was a time prior to the pandemic where the idea that someone might become a porn star was akin to saying that someone might be abducted by aliens…I think that what the pandemic and the sort of explosion of fan content showed was that a lot of people were open to doing it.”
Attorney Derek Demeri, an employment law expert in New Jersey, says (OF COURSE) that we have to look at whether firing people moonlighting in the adult entertainment industry has a “disproportionate effect on women and LGBTQ+ people.”
Give me a break.
If their jobs are so low-paying, SET THEM FREE.
Let them be a porn star full-time instead of having real jobs or being forced to show up at a school and pretend to be a decent role model for students.
