eran_morad , in Missouri high school teacher is put on leave after school officials discover her page on porn site

Jfc. I do my best to avoid porn and everything, but who fucking cares? Fucked up priorities.

Soundhole ,

On the one hand, I strongly agree with you. But when I think about it, she was teaching high school kids who would 100% get access to her videos. That just doesn’t seem like a healthy situation for anyone involved. She sounds in the article like she accepts that she needs to do one or the other.

$42,000/year for a full time teacher is the real story here. That’s outrageous.

blazera ,
@blazera@kbin.social avatar

Why the hell would they get access to her videos?

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever ,

There are sites that scrape and republish OF and the like. Less likely if they aren’t doing public streams, but if someone puts up a bounty, it will likely show up.

But mostly this is just the ongoing “porn is the greatest threat to society” bullshit that tate-esque incels love spewing these days.

Serinus ,

Eh, deal with it. I’d rather have a moonlighting teacher than an unqualified one. At least this teacher was smart enough to not settle for $42k/year.

psycho_driver ,

I agree. She can’t continue teaching high school or probably even middle school boys once this comes out. She’d probably be fine teaching elementary age kids. There’d be a lot more dads attending parent-teacher conferences so it might even be a positive thing.

Rakonat ,

Why not? We need to stop treating sex workers like they are subhuman. The fact that parents aren’t monitoring their childrens internet behavior isn’t a reason to limit another person’s career prospects if they chose to monetize their bodies past or present.

As long as the teacher in question isn’t advertising her pornographic career or material to her students then why can’t she continue to teach and earn money on the side as long as she’s not bringing it into the classroom?

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever ,

Who gives a shit if kids find out? If anything, it is a good lesson that teachers are human beings.

If you can’t take someone seriously because you know they fuck? That is a you problem.

Resolved3874 ,

On the surface I agree but these are teenagers. What do you think the chances are of one of them subbing to her account and requesting her to make custom videos for them 😂 I would say pretty damn high. Hell it’s still probably going to happen but at least the kids won’t be sitting in class while watching videos of their teacher getting fucked.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever ,

Considering they would be using their parents’ credit cards for this: Pretty low actually.

theUnlikely ,

Lots of high schoolers have jobs and bank accounts with debit cards starting at 16.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever , (edited )

From googling:

  1. It is unclear if OnlyFans actually accepts debit cards. Some verbiage says yes but people don’t realize they have a credit card instead of a debit. Others say no but there is no difference between a cc/dc. I assume there is a regional discrepancy there since I know europe loves debit cards. I also suspect it has more to do with the backend (? visa, mastercard, the other ones) than anything else since there is a constant war against sex workers in that regard.
  2. At least in the US, the vast majority (I want to say “all” but) bank accounts and debit/credit cards require a parent to co-sign if you aren’t 18. I have no idea how that manfiests as providing credit card info to a website but it does mean the parents have access to the statement and will see the porn charges.
theUnlikely ,

Interesting. It’s been quite a while since I was that age, so I don’t really remember needing a parental co-signer. One more thing, supposedly prepaid visa cards work so there’s always that.

miversen33 ,

Lol as a teenager who had an attractive teacher for a class, I don’t know if you understand what they’re saying.

Teenagers are kids. Kids are, by their very nature, stupid. If they know said teacher is actively publishing content to an OF, they are absolutely going to find said content. It’s just a whole mess for all parties involved.

Adults should absolutely be able to live their lives, but accept that kids are kids and kids do stupid shit.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever , (edited )

Again, so what?

In High School, Ms Sell the british lit teacher was the “hot teacher”. She talked about being a cheerleader in college and you can bet there were some of us who rubbed more than a few out imagining her in a cheerleader costume. And there was the really creepy and pathetic kid who cut up his yearbook and taped her face to a printout of a porn star he found online and pretended it was real… which was actually a good “holy shit some people are creepy fucks” realization in high school. It is a REAL learning moment to realize that, as awkward and pathetic as you are for jacking it with hand lotion in the bathroom while imagining your english teacher, you could be a LOT creepier.

So what? End of the day, she was the english teacher and (unlike one of the social studies teachers…) was not going to fuck students. End of story. Horny kids gonna be horny. But learning to interact with people is part of growing up.

Also, if the kid who taped her face to a printout was creepy, imagine the horror that is the deepfake present.


As for getting access to the content: If she were doing live chaturbate shows I would have more concerns. But this was a private OF account and it sounds like people never realized she was doing it until she did a collab with someone with a wider audience. And checking a few of the porn sites: The only uploads are specifically under her legal name with none under her OF name alone and are likely a result of this scandal. I would still have worn a mask if I were her and her husband but… whatever.


Also, getting back to Ms Sell: She had a kid junior year. I will always remember Ting frantically running up to a few of us at lunch and saying “Ms Sell is pregnant! That means she had sex!!!” and, before we could say “no shit?”, Phil said “Why?” and we still mock him for that when we get together over a decade later.

So… are teachers also required to not get pregnant for fear of overstimulating the children?

theUnlikely ,

MuhammadJesusGaySex , in Black history 'Underground Railroad' forms across US after DeSantis, others ban books

As a white person that grew up and still lives in the south, around bigotry of all flavors. Learning the truth about our past is sooooo important. The history of the human race is not usually a particularly pretty history.

But, just like we should want a better life for our kids than we had. We should also want our kids to grow up and become better adults than we were. The only way that will ever happen is if we are honest about the good, and the bad.

CosmicTurtle ,

As a child of Asian immigrants, I learned about the horrors of Japanese interment camps way into my adult life.

It took me into my mid 30s to realize just how muted US History classes were.

Most folks had no idea about the Tulsa race massacre until the first episode of Watchmen on HBO, and there was a surge of people googling to see if it had actually happened after it aired. I even read an article about how some people in Tulsa didn’t even know about it until then.

Same. I didn’t know what Juneteenth was until my company started observing it a few years ago.

And bare in mind that I am a kid of the 80s. I can’t imagine the curriculum that kids have today.

BombOmOm ,
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

?

Slavery in the US is widely taught in the US public school system. That fact alone completely devastates your idea the US does not ‘teach about any of the bad things white people do unless they do it to other white people’. It is also pretty common to teach about the Japanese internment camps in WWII, albeit less so.

MuhammadJesusGaySex ,

But the quality of that education depends on where you live. For instance I grew up in Birmingham, Al. We were taught slavery happened, and some places it was bad, and some places it was ok. We were taught about the civil war, and how the south was just fighting for states rights. But that was about it. Our history books were a decade old.

We didn’t learn about Japanese internment camps at all. If you want to really learn about the problem a non standardized book situation causes in America. Look up the states that use PragerU books. Then look up PragerU.

dragonflyteaparty ,

That’s basically exactly what I learned. The civil war was all about states rights, but they refused to say what those rights were. They also “taught” that after the civil rights movement, everything was perfect and there was no racism anymore.

Very_Bad_Janet , (edited )

My husband, who grew up in the south, was taught about The War of Northern Aggression (that is what his teacher called the Civil War).

I am having our kids read The Autobiography of Malcolm X and A People's History of the United States.

ETA: My kids' Elementary and Middle schools taught the book Stamped.

ETA2: Are students in Florida going to know what the Underground Railroad even was?

Hindufury ,

It is taught and Civil Rights is taught, but we didn’t really learn about ongoing injustices against the black community (redlining and imminent domain, racial biases in the war on drugs, sund9wn towns, etc.) so US history classes painted a picture of it all being largely over with.

AA5B ,

For us, they didn’t cover “modern” history at all. For example, neither Korean norVietnam wars were covered

Dr_Fetus_Jackson , (edited )

Unfortunately, propagating ignorance is useful as a tool to keep change from ever occurring.

I’m a white dude that lived in the South for 42 of my 51 years. I was fortunate that my parents were flower children that didn’t fit in with the hate scene of the time, and they taught me to respect everyone.

Their biggest hurdle was the limit of their knowledge. Like me, they weren’t taught the history of atrocities that we’re perpetrated against our citizens. The advantage that I had as a parent, over what my parents had, was the good fortune to live in an age of enlightenment through information.

I did my best to make sure that I passed on that part of my parents legacy to my, now adult, children while also making sure they understood what the actual history looked like in our country. I’m hopeful they’ll levy their advantages to continue to help break the cycle.

thepianistfroggollum ,

Don’t look into the building of the US railroads, then. It’s brutal.

As an aside, there were actually German internment camps in the US too. I don’t know where all of them were, but I know there was one in East Texas.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t learn a thing about those internment camps when I was in high school. Shameful.

enki ,

Grew up in Tennessee and I learned about them, but I was fortunate enough to go to one of the top public schools in the country that was pretty diverse. Fairly certain there’s very few public schools of that caliber left in the southern US.

My daughter’s school just had ‘Hawaiian Day’ as part of ‘spirit week’ where every day was wear something stupid. My daughter didn’t want to participate anyway, but I took it as an opportunity to teach her about how we committed genocide against the native Hawaiians. She asked why it wasn’t taught in school. I didn’t have a good answer besides “Republicans don’t want you to know about it.”

MuhammadJesusGaySex ,

That’s a good approach. So many things are left out and passed over. Unfortunately it’s up to us as parents to fill in the gaps. Here’s my own personal brush with infamy.

I live and grew up in Birmingham, Al. In school we had a page or 2 about the civil rights movement. We learned about Bull Connor, and the water cannons, and the dogs. We learned about Fred Shuttlesworth and Rosa Parks. That was about it.

I was in my 30’s when I learned that my uncle was the last man to arrest Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. before he was assassinated. My family didn’t talk about it. My school didn’t talk about it, and it made me realize just how much of our lesson on that subject had been glossed over.

Since my uncle lived longer than King. My uncle got to say in interviews much later that “he knew he was in the presence of greatness” and “I didn’t want to arrest him but I had to”. He may have fooled someone with that nonsense. But, I know that generation of my family used the n-word daily till they died.

A history that’s as truthful as possible is super important. It doesn’t matter who it embarrasses, or upsets, because it’s already happened. We can’t change it, but we can try not to do it again.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Unfortunately it’s up to us as parents to fill in the gaps.

That’s why my kids know the truth about religion, especially Christianity.

FuglyDuck , in Kansas police and a small newspaper are at the center of a 1st Amendment fight after a newsroom raid
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

honestly, looking at the list of things that were taken- including personal devices and an amazon device used to stay in contact with aging parents- it’s amazing the judge didn’t send the warrant back for being overbroad.

I find it inconceivable that the journalists didn’t know to keep their devices segregated between personal contacts and work contacts- precisely to shield your personal device from these kinds of raids.

it’s also dubious as to what they expect to find on the amazon device… even if it was recording them… that data’s generally not stored on the device itself.

rdeets OP , (edited )

To be fair to the journalist(s), it could be a budgetary issue. It’s a small town, and their 98-year-old mother was living with them.

Was.

The stress of the search killed her.

Meyer also blames the home raid for stressing his 98-year-old mother enough to cause her death on Saturday. Joan Meyer was the newspaper’s co-owner.

Oh… Fun Fact. I’m from KCMO where the Chief served for 24 years. Look up our gun violence rate (maybe you can’t, I tried, and it looks like news agencies just stopped counting due to the frequency - the last one was just on Saturday) and our homicide rate.

And Missouri just voted to mandate that KCMO gives KCPD 25% of our municipal budget… While not even having full control of the force. Nothing like Civil War relics fucking us over in the 21st century.

KCPD has only solved 32 murders this year (as of June 28). As we’re on pace for to make a new record for annual homicides

And, of course, Missouri has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. And the State bans the city from passing firearm regulation.

So… yeah, 24 years of service to a PD that is known to be corrupt. And misogynistic. And Racist. Very Racist.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

To be fair to the journalist(s), it could be a budgetary issue. It’s a small town, and their 98-year-old mother was living with them.

Sure, I suppose I could see that. But… it is difficult to imagine the cops would know they use personal devices for work like that. They almost literally took everything that could hold data, receive communications and maybe nark. if those devices were covered under the warrant (which must specifically state what’s to be seized- new things they want to seize requires a new warrant) then the warrant was probably over-broad and itself subject to scrutiny.

Keep in mind, that they need to enumerate specific items- and specifically where they are to be found. “Any devices found at xyz premises” is much too broad. And they have to show a reason why they believe that it contains evidence of wrong doing.

side note… it’s difficult to imagine that the story on the restaurant owner couldn’t have been obtained without using confidential data. Arrest records and convictions are public. and all it would take is camping out on a public street to prove she was still driving.

athos77 ,

it’s amazing the judge didn’t send the warrant back for being overbroad.

When you apply for a search warrant, you're supposed to swear out a probable cause affidavit first, laying out the evidence you have that you need you search this place. The probable cause affidavit goes to the judge, who either approves, denies, or requests more information for the search warrant. Interesting thing is that no one seems to be able to find a copy of affidavit for this search warrant.

Honestly, the whole thing comes off as incredibly punitive: the restaurant owner is pissed because the DUI might sink her chances of getting a very lucrative liquor license. The guy who owns the hotel the restaurant is in, and who can raise the rent once the liquor license goes through, just happens to be the DA's brother. And the paper was investigating the police chief due to several allegations of alleged sexual assault at his old job - and the contact information for the people who made those allegations just happens to be on one of the computers the police chief confiscated in his raid. But I'm sure there's nothing to see here. Kermit sips tea

BombOmOm ,
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

The books are free to purchase, own, and sell by the general public. The books are not banned.

What they are talking about is selecting what reading material is to be taught and available at schools. Such has been a thing since schools have been a thing. Schools do not have infinite time to teach nor infinite space to house books, selection criteria necessarily exists.

HorseWithNoName ,

selection criteria necessarily exists.

Sure. But it shouldn’t be based on racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and forcing christianity on people. Hence the issue.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,

…oh boy.

dragonflyteaparty ,

They are absolutely being banned. Universal bans and not allowing things to be published or sold at all is not the sole definition of banning things. That’s not the only way to define banning. It can be small, local, regional, or unilateral. There are many different places or ways a ban can take effect. The books are being banned from schools and libraries in some cases.

If I ban something from my house, it’s still a ban. If it’s banned from the neighborhood, that’s a ban. If it’s banned from only my kid’s school, that’s a ban.

I don’t get why some people think a national ban against the publish and sale of books is the only definition of a ban.
