Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I dated an ex-escort for a while and the relationship was just fine. I think you're talking without any real experience.
A friend was an escort for a while and she's one of the most loving and caring people I know. I would trust her with everything, especially relationship advice.
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.
