A Los Angeles area elementary school is facing some major criticism from parents after the district invited porn star Sasha Grey to read to a group of first graders, according to a report from TMZ.

TMZ obtained photos of Grey reading to the children at Emerson Elementary School in Compton on November 2 as part of the Read Across America program.

Grey also tweeted about the experience, gushing that the students were the “sweetest.”

Another reason to homeschool... Now!

Clearly she should have been asked to read to the dads, and not the children.

[dfwgator]

At least they didn’t hire Jerry Sandusky to read to them.

Misappropriation of assets, wrong venue.Shouldn't be with the kids

In addition to the face-palm of learning that the LA School District invited a porn star to read to children then flatly denied pictures that prove otherwise, I face-palmed again when noticing that Fox News misspelled 'Principal' while doing a story about a school.

Country is about finished, everyone. Our submarine is past crushing depth and keeps descending.

Oh for crying out loud........
Did she keep her clothes on?
If so then I’m sure the kids enjoyed it thoroughly.

NOT GUILTY!

He’s next week with “Heather Has Two Molesters” and Gary Glitter is filling in for Mike McQueery this weekend.

Come on. She is not JUST a porn star - she recently starred in a major motion picture - where she played - ummmmm - a hooker./s

Reportedly she gave up on porn and is now looking for acting jobs wherein she does NOT play a hooker or herself (her non porn acting credits so far). I hope she has good luck with that!

[Sopater]

I have to wonder if they told the kids who she was.

[Nachum]

Ah geez. Some kids have all luck.

[Lockbox]

well they wanted the fathers to get better involved in the school..........

[Dead Corpse]

Why? Was she reading Dr. Seuss or Lysistrata?

[N. Theknow]

Sasha Grey can Read?!?

[dfwgator]

Oh the irony, the Penn State Band doing a Michael Jackson Tribute.

“Oops!”

[Tax-chick]

It’s sad that porn actresses can read, apparently, while elementary school teachers can’t.

[onedoug]

Yup. Crank up the old Sandusky. This school will get there sooner or later.

[Irenic]

Must not have been a homosexual/transsexual porn star. That would have been celebrated.

[DTogo]

Why was she invited? How was she introduced to the kids? Why did the school feel the need to deny it later?

Pending those answers, so what.
