Sasha Grey visits elementary school to do story time with first graders

[ragincaucasian]

why should Sasha be stigmatized for what she has chosen to do?

She is a very self confident young woman who is proving herself in a variety of markets (merchandise, marketing, acting, and porn)

more power to her

 

[assari]

Sasha Grey is a woman who has an unusual job.

That is why she raises so much interest.

Word.

If you ever want to hear the actual definition of the word 'shit', check out the outpouring of aTelecine. That girl may be able to take a righteous cock in the ass, but her musical talent is the equivalent of the spermy farts she produces afterwards.

If reading for kids keeps her away from making that god-awful "music" she records with her crappy band, then i´m all for it.

I'm with Ashleigh on this one, I don't understand why this should even be an issue. People treat her and really anyone in porn or even nude modeling like they are the worst people on the planet and like they all are just disease ridden child molesters. Which is really sad because some of the nicest and most caring people I know are porn stars or former porn stars. There are so many celebs, athletes, musicians and politicians that have done far worse things than anyone in porn yet when they do things like this they get praised for it but when a porn star(former or not) tries to do something like this they get treated like garbage just cause they had sex.

 

[Jack Davenport]

She should be invited back for Show and Tell.

 

[Shifty]

I don't see what the big deal is. Its not like she arrived at the school with someones dick in her mouth....she's dressed conservatively and was simply giving storytime to the kids. Because she's fucked on film, it makes her a bad role model, but to who? The kids shouldn't know who the hell she is - if the childrens parents were any kind of parent, the family computer would be monitored. So as far as the kids know, she's just a pretty lady who's good at reading them stories.

There is nothing wrong with her character, her work or her choice of career. I don't believe that she is a bad role model, and as you say these kids wouldn't have a clue about her background.

However, that's not the point. These two worlds simply don't mix, and they should not be brought together.

I wonder what the reaction would be if the school had chose to welcome Ron Jeremy in to read? Somewhat more pronounced, I'm sure.

Abercrombie & Fitch wanted to distance itself from the Jersey Shore folks because of their reputation, yet an elementary school brings a pornstar in for story time?

This is bullshit.

Why people act like they don't have common sense about this is crazy. This is very inappropriate to put someone of her ilk in front of kids. Her chosen profession and lifestyle should absolutely exclude her from shit like this. We fire TEACHERS for what Sasha Grey does in the privacy of their own homes once ONE person finds out. It's called a conflict of interest, and shame on Sasha Grey for not having any decorum about herself. What she does is labeled as ADULT for a reason, and it's more than a job... it's a lifestyle. This is shameless promotion and flaunting of her title as a professional whore. Stop comparing this to other situations that don't fit, because that is a very poor cop out and part of what is wrong with society. Most of you won't allow Sasha Grey around your BF/GF/Husband/Wife when you're not around, but its alright for someone like Sasha Grey to show up to a school around your kid? There are no other more appropriate people you can get to read to kids? No better examples or role models?

It's backwards and inappropriate.

 

[bahodeme]

Funny that you mentioned Ron Jeremy, Shifty, since at one time his occupation was a Special Ed teacher.

 

[Jack Davenport]

It's not her fault. She was asked to do it. Now there may be ramifications for the teacher(s) or personnel that approved it.

 

[Icewater Jones]

She could still refuse their offer, and she really should have, IMO. Those teachers and personnel should all be 'Paternoed'.

So what are you saying? Pornstars shouldn't be around kids, ever? Why are we treating them like pedophiles? She's not there as a porn star, she's there as a volunteer. And how is allowing Sasha Grey to hang out with a significant other bad? It's probably the same as them hanging out with any other woman. I'm just not seeing the reason for the outrage, man.

 

[Jack Davenport]

The kids will probably never know. I am sure she used her real name. Whatever that is. I wonder what she told them her line of work was. An actress and left it at that?

sounds like you're hung up on some ridiculous Puritanican standard

are you full of self-hate after you watch porn, too?



i am not a fan of sasha's porn but i can honestly say I'd rather her Round my kids than:
Lady Gaga
any politician or CEO

 

[tartanterrier]

It's a shame it wasn't a sex education class,because that would have been
really interesting

Agreed - 100% Considering that you've got Catholic clergy running a global child-molestation mill for years and assholes setting up child mentoring programs just so they can nab young boys to molest, Sasha ought to be congratulated instead of people acting like there's anything negative about it.

First off, any time Sasha Grey shows up somewhere, she shows up as a pornstar... let's not front about that. Secondly, it's not about her as a person, it is about what she represents, and what she has chosen as her profession and lifestyle should NOT be intermixed with kids especially without parental presence and consent. People don't send their kids to school knowing there is a pornstar there, and if you do, you're off. As I said before, TEACHERS get fired all the time for their own sexual indiscretions with other consenting adults that somehow come to light, and let's not even get in to those teachers that do the same thing with actual students. You just don't invite those types of issues in to school, and based on her lifestyle and profession... it is an issue.

Fact is, public schools don't allow priests or pastors to come read to kids, but they can contact a pornstar? Even if they did bring a religious person to read to kids, there would be an outrage by parents, some of which would pull their kids from that school, but GOD FORBID, I raise the same level of concern over Sasha Grey! As I eluded to earlier, some of you that don't see issue with this, wouldn't even let your kids go with certain members of your own FAMILY because of the lifestyle they lead.

This is more than just protection of kids as the issue here, but also the protection of Sasha Grey. She is putting herself in harms way by doing this as well, as some are OVERLY protective as it pertains to their children. Some folks have no problem assaulting or even killing you for even being around their kids, let alone someone with her reputation. Also, whats to stop a parent from seeing this as an opportunity at some money and fame. Someone could easily say Sasha touched or handled their kid in an inappropriate fashion and tell their child to go along with that. All it takes is one... and we all know this. The school is putting itself in a bad position, as well as Sasha. Your choices in life lead you to places that one day can put in a bad spot, and what you represent determines whether it is appropriate for you to be involved with certain things. It happens in every walk of life. It is discrimination, but truth be told, discrimination is a very necessary thing in certain aspects, and this is one of them.

 

[LukeEl]

Wow I am surprised she didn't read something from her personal literature collection like The Screwtape Letters or On the Road, because she is so avant garde, while drinking a vegan wheatgrass smoothie, listening to the Juno soundtrack.

 

[Jack Davenport]

There have been a few comments on this thread about her that tend to make me believe that a lot of you just generally don't like her. I do not know that much about her and do not keep up with porn stars and especially if some have attitudes . Does she have a reputation as being a prima donna?

 

[PirateKing]

But she's not talking about porn nor anything of the like. I've never heard of priests not being allowed to come to public schools but if they were just reading a book and not bringing religion into the activity then I see no problem with it. I think you can leave that persona out and just come as a regular person. Maybe I'm just not as conservative as a parent would be, but if I heard a pornstar was going to read to my kid, I would be fine with it because I trust them to conduct themselves as any other guest speaker would. Honestly, I feel bad for porn stars who can't just be seen regular people and can't pursue other interests because they do porn. Maybe she was trying to make a point about that too.

It is complex though. When it comes down to it, would I want my kid to follow Sasha's example and become a porn star when they grow up? Not really. But I don't think we should treat them like the plague, because just being a porn star in itself shouldn't be a crime tht warrants that stigma. Therefore I think that the porn star identity and their normal identity can be seperate.

I don't feel sorry for pornstars at all, because that is the choice they made. That choice comes with as many positives as negatives. There are just certain things in life you become excluded from when you take this route. Anybody that has done this can tell you that the reputation you get from it follows you. If you make the choice to be a religious leader, no matter how positive and righteous you are, there are certain things you can't take part in... like this (separation of church and state laws). On the flip side, if you make choices that are criminal, you are subject to the same shit for a completely different reason. I don't give a shit what you read, depending on who you are and what you represent, I may or may not want you reading a damn thing to my child or even being around them... criminal, righteous, or otherwise. Hell, my own family is even subject to that shit, and that is real talk.
