Sasha Grey, Porn Star, Reads To Elementary School, Parents Outraged

 

UPDATE: In a victory for education, Grey has released a statement asserting her dedication to continuing her academic endeavors.

“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,” she says (via TMZ). “I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am… I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives.”

PREVIOUSLY: How would you feel if an adult film star read to your seven year old child? Believe it or not, some parents in California are pretty angry that it happened in their kids’ classroom.

Porn legend Sasha Grey was a guest reader at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, California earlier this month, joining first and third grade students in their Read Across America day. Grey certainly enjoyed the experience, tweeting, “Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st & 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary!”

The problem, TMZ reports, is that parents aren’t happy — and that school officials, instead of addressing the issue, are claiming it never happened. Of course, it’d be silly for Grey to tweet about it if it hadn’t happened, and more importantly, TMZ has a photo of the event (as they always seem to do).

To be fair to Grey, she is a recently retired porn star, having recently called it quits. She is now a published author, actress in more mainstream flicks (with a part in the Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven film, “I Melt With You”), Peta activist and fan of Occupy Wall Street.

Personally I find this amusing. seems to me those who are up in arms need to get real. this woman firstly is a RETIRED Porn star, she is giving something to the community.

As for the school instead of denying it should have stood its ground. Considering their are Photos of her reading to the class.

One senario may be they dont watch porn so had no idea, so does that mean those up in arms over this do? Maybe thats how they recognised her.

The main point is she was dressed appropriately and read age appropriate material.  Get real people I’m sure her past was not up for discussion.
