Ex-Porn Star Reading to LA Students Causes Stir |
2011-11-15 |
[An Nahar] Some parents have filed complaints with the Parent-Teacher Association after a former adult film star said she read to children in a classroom at a Los Angeles County elementary school. Sasha Grey, a 23-year-old ex-porn actress who has appeared in mainstream shows like HBO's "Entourage," was a guest earlier this month at Compton's Emerson Elementary School for Read Across America Day. Did she have her clothes on? She wasn't humping anybody, was she? Was she presented to the kiddies as a porn star? Then what's the problem? Grey tweeted Nov. 2 that she had spent the day reading to students in the first and third grades. KTLA-TV quoted parents questioning whether it was appropriate to have Grey at the school. Parent Dudley Wheaton wondered why the school couldn't find a fireman or a police officer to read to students. Instead they went with a "movie star." I guess you pays yer money and takes yer chance... Grey has not appeared in porn films in over two years. She has been a regular on "Entourage" and appeared in the 2009 film "The Girlfriend Experience." Now that I think about it a little bit, I'm not sure why Tom, Dick, Harry and Sasha get these invitations for reading photo ops whist surrounded by little kids. Surely the idea is to teach the kiddies to do the reading? |

#15 Skanks don't educate. Judging by the flat achievement scores for the past few decades, neither do teachers. |

#14 A disassociation of the sex industry from youth education might be warranted. Skanks don't educate. |

#13 In a time when a 13 year old boy rapes a 5 year old girl on McDonald's playground and 9 year old girls give birth, it's possible some of the third graders might have recognized Sasha from some of her artistic work on television or via the internet. I guess some of the parents recognized her also. |

#12 Anonymoose, not really! I find Italian food of all regions in Italy to be bland. American style Italian (what I grew up with) is much tastier. |

#11 Except the food in Italy is better. |

#10 Living in Southern California is like having ringside seats to watch the collapse of the Roman Empire all over again. |

#6 One the question of which of the two to read to your kids, the poll is overwhelming in favor of Sasha over the Ego-in-Chief [check the pics too]. |

#5 What's the difference between Sasha Grey and Barack Obama? When Sasha screws the country, it doesn't cost us all trillions of dollars. |

#2 Sasha Grey is a beautiful, nasty, dirty, dirty, girl. I'm sure it would cost thousands to have a private session of her reading to me. And these lucky kids got it for free! If I were a parent in that school district, I would be proud. |

#1 KTLA-TV quoted parents questioning whether it was appropriate to have Grey at the school. Sometimes it's better to just STFU. Not a single kid would have figured it out. Now they'll all be doing their best to bypass Net Ninny and see what all the fuss is about. |
