It can be fine. That doesn't make them the "most qualified to teach sex ed"
So what would you pick? I'd rather take her than some religious nut that preaches/screeches abstinence.
Someone with education in anatomy and experience studying the body in a field that isn't prone to abusive conditions.
If that's available, good. What if that person was a prostitute to finance the education? I wouldn't exclude them because they had one career step you might find immoral.
I would have them checked by a therapist to make sure there is no history of trauma or abuse that hasn't been resolved which could then be passed onto the kids as hilariously unhealthy expectations or more specifically "rules for how things are with guys".
I would also make sure they aren't currently a prostitute. Not exactly an example you want to set for a bunch of kids.
The former president of the United States is a convicted rapist who bragged about his dick size and paid a porn star thousands of dollars to have sex with him. That’s an example I wouldn’t want set for a bunch of kids, but it appears that’s just fine. An underpaid public servant working a side gig to make ends meet though…
Would you.... Want Donald Trump to be your teacher?
If not, why bring it up. You aren't actually supporting your point.
Nah, I don’t want Donald Trump to be a teacher. Not because he’s had sex with porn stars, but because he appears to be illiterate, lacks empathy, and would probably die on the spot if some seventh graders made fun of his shitty toupee.
Just admit you hate women already lol. Be honest with yourself.
So you do that with every potential hire? What about military vets, should they be evaluated to make sure they aren't encouraging kids to be killers?
Yes.
A former military vet in my school pulled a gun in a McDonald's drive through once and got arrested.
So, a medical professional who did sex work to pay for med school, right?
I agree, people with those credentials would be ideal.
e: oh wait, I ignored part of your comment.
Yes, it’s been difficult for women in the medical field. Thanks for bringing attention to that.
Eh.. do you hire the person with the degree or the one with ten years of industry experience?
The degree. We aren't teaching kids how to be prostitutes.
It was a trick question. This lady had the degree AND the work experience. You just missed out on the perfect candidate because you're biased.
The people who are actually there and know the situation more deeply than either of us seem to disagree.
They didn't say that she was unqualified. They said eww yuck an escort. They clearly have the same bias as you do, but that doesn't mean they made an intelligent hiring and firing decision.
The people who are there and know the situation can still be wrong. This is a thought terminating cliche.
