Porn star who lost job as teacher appeals ruling, saying she can still 'promote Christian values'

NY Daily News:

A teacher who lost her job when she was found moonlighting as a porn star is appealing against the ruling saying she can still promote "Christian values".

The 38-year-old woman - who works under the stage name Julia Pink - worked for 17 years with the Diakonia Germany Evangelical Federal Association in the city of Munich in southern Germany teaching children and supervising adults with disabilities.

But on the side she starred in hardcore porn films and last year won a 'shooting star' award at the Venus porn fair.

She was sacked without notice after church leaders became aware of her erotic films and decided she was not suitable.

So I agree with the school's decision.

In many jobs it wouldn't or shouldn't matter what you do on your own time. But teaching has never been one of them.

On the other hand, I can understand not wanting to promote it as an example for children.

So in the end, I guess I can see both sides of this.
