State Commission Upholds Firing Of Porn Teacher

JANUARY 16--The California teacher who was fired last year after her prior career as a porn actress was discovered by her middle school students has had her appeal unanimously rejected by a state panel that ruled that the online availability of her X-rated work “will continue to impede her from being an effective teacher and respected colleague.”

In a 48-page decision, the Commission on Professional Competence ruled that Stacie Halas, 32, was unfit to continue teaching at the Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School in Oxnard. Halas, a science teacher, began working at the school in 2009, several years after her porn career ended.

The commission ruled that Halas’s hearing testimony “lacked credibility because it was tainted with numerous inconsistent, misleading and evasive statements and outright falsehoods.” Additionally, the panel revealed that Halas had previously been bounced from two other teaching posts after administrators learned of her X-rated canon.

The January 11 decision by the three-judge panel came after hearings last fall during which school brass testified that Halas repeatedly lied to them about her porn past. Halas was fired last April when Haydock school officials discovered that she had previously starred in numerous hardcore productions.

The state ruling includes a list of the porn videos in which Halas appeared, as well as explicit descriptions of her sexual activity in titles like “Anal Consumption” and “Boobaholics Anonymous 2.”

As TSG reported last year, Halas--who used the stage name “Tiffany Six”--once spoke openly about her work as an educator in behind-the-scenes footage included with “No Cum Dodging Allowed #7,” a 45-minute hardcore film in which she appears with several actors, one of whom uses the name “Arnold Schwartzenpecker.”

In one clip, Halas is asked by an interviewer whether her film career was “risky.” “It is risky, very risky for me. ‘Cause I am a teacher,” answered Halas, who was then working at a California public school (where she was employed prior to her Oxnard post). When the male interviewer spoke of the possibility that students could discover her explicit films (“You’ll see it on the young boys’s faces,” he remarked), Halas laughed and said, “It’s a concern.”

When the interviewer mentioned a teacher who had sex with “young kids,” Halas laughed, “Well, at least I didn’t do the students.” She later added, “I have to say I’m not into the students, though. At least I don’t do that.” Halas was then asked, “Do you think if they find out you’ll get fired?” She answered, “Questionable, probably.”

In a statement, Jeff Chancer, the superintendent of the Oxnard public school system, hailed the commission ruling, noting that Halas’s decision to “engage in pornography was incompatible with her responsibilities as a role model for students and would present an insurmountable, recurring disruption to our schools should she be allowed to remain as a teacher.” (4 pages)
