Porn Star Reads to Kids
From Yahoo
Former porn star Sasha Grey took her talents a less adult audience by visiting Emerson Elementary School and reading a book to students, which caused the school to receive several complaints and at first deny Grey’s visit, TMZ reported. “We have several celebrities who read to our students each year,” a spokesperson for the school told TMZ. “The actress you indicated was not present.” But photographs uncovered by the entertainment website and a tweet by the actress told a different story. “Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st and 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary,” Grey tweeted. A spokesperson for Read Across America told ABCNews.com that Grey was not affiliated with the program. Grey responded to the backlash from her visit Friday by telling the entertainment site: “I believe education is a universal right. I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent.” The ex-porn star, who made her last adult film two years ago, most recently appeared on the television series “Entourage” playing herself.
Personally I don't have a problem with it. People are allowed to change. You can't escape sanctimonious people, who just have to be heard though.

She is doing nothing wrong.... she is helping kids... People are fucking stupid!!!!
She helped (random) husband's d*ck get up.... so suddenly people don't think she has brains to be appropriate for kids' minds... people should fuck off, stop being jealous and let their kids be educated... it's because of stupid people that we have more ignorance in schools.
sorry about my cussing and references... lol
She was reading to kids in COMPTON. They probably watch porn daily with their crackhead fathers (if he's around) or watching groups of men run a train on mom in trade for heroin. Having a porn star read to them is the least of their problems.
@pinktiger335 - No problem. Often feel the same. What sticks in my mind is that the people complaining are doing so based on their own prejudices and ignorance. If anything ... pardon me for getting up on the soapbox ... forgiveness is one of the main lessons of the good book. What would Jesus do? The answer is pretty clear.
.... I'll step off now. ...
@MedicMark - A little extreme there buddy, but thats probably your schtick. I wouldn't generalize what the kids living conditions are. Just making an observation on the foolishness of otherwise well meaning parents and adults.

"I wouldn't generalize what the kids living conditions are"
uhh... they're in COMPTON. have you never listened to 2-Pac?
@MedicMark - 2-Pac rapping about a handful of people making trouble and their illict activities doesn't sell CD's. But associate it with a "war zone".
I think reading to children should be encouraged. People have to see more than just one side of her. There is more to this person than a former career. Does anyone want to be judged based on all their careers they lived through?
@Vitamin_D - Excellent thought. And carrying that idea outside the boundries of thread, should that not also apply other current events.
People should give her a fair chance.
Well, it's no problem until the kids ask "what are you famous for?" xD
But seriously, I agree, people are allowed to change and do what they want without the whole world criticizing them.
@Pysia89 - True ... but there is a way to answer that would satisfy childrens curiosity. Its the parents that have the problem
