Texas Teacher Fighting to Keep Her Job After Porn Past Exposed

Texas teacher (pictured above), Resa Woodward has been put on administrative leave after her porn past was exposed. The 38-year-old science teacher had starred in 16 adult films from 2001 to 2004 and while that doesn’t seem like the kind of lengthy career to potentially jeopardize her current job as a teacher, it was revealed that the school board found out through a tipster.

There are more details about this case, but that’s the gist. I’m not reporting on this story as much as shining a spotlight on the social stigma that continues to haunt porn performers.

So another teacher loses her job after her porn past was exhumed. No surprise there. Society, especially North American society loves to scoff at people’s youthful indiscretions and exact puritanical revenge in the event of any sort of public snafu. Meanwhile, in places like Japan (who produces twice the amount of porn than the United States, despite only having half the population), the porn performers there can catapult their adult status into mainstream acting jobs and television personalities.

Resa Woodward claimed she fell on financial hard times and during her stay with an older man, she was forced to get into porn. Resa worked under the porn star alias, Robyn Foster and if you watch a few of her videos, it paints anything but a woman “forced” to shoot porn.

The bottom line is that whenever something like this happens, whenever someone is removed from a job where they’re obviously excelling in and enjoy doing because of some old flouted profession that society deems shameful has nothing to do with whether or not that individual was capable of performing that job in the first place. Kind of like that one instance where Sasha Grey was barred from reading in front of kids probably because dads who wanked off to her voiced their displeasure. But what does one have to do with the other?

By all accounts, Woodward excelled at teaching, earning raise after raise. Did her porn past impede on her ability to teach? No. Did her porn past simply make other people uncomfortable and embarrassed? Absolutely. The school board didn’t want to deal with the fallout of having to explain what I just did two sentences ago, so they did what was easy and lazy and that is damage control. But just imagine if the school board didn’t do what was expected of them.

Imagine in a brave, new world if the board had kept her around as a positive lesson to kids that anyone can be anything no matter what anyone thinks. But that will never happen because we, as a pseudo-progressive society cannot divorce ourselves from the thought that morality and law are one and the same when one is immutable and the other is as ever-changing as sea currents. Get over yourself, so you can get on with yourself.

Good gravy, did you read all that? Congrats! Now reward yourself with some choice porn videos from Resa Woodward a.k.a Robyn Foster!
