Gunn Control: Parents Demand that Porn Star Be Fired As Lunch Lady

The good people of Vineland, New Jersey are demanding that an elementary school cafeteria worker and playground monitor be fired from her $5,772 a year part-time job because of her prior work in the adult entertainment industry. Louisa C. Tuck, 32, was known as Crystal Gunns and the parents want her fired despite the fact that her prior job was legal and she has done nothing wrong as a part-time worker. Indeed, the only problem is likely to be the number of father’s crowding the lunchroom in a sudden interest in having a meal with their children.

The parents in this case are not just wrong legally but they are asking for expensive litigation that will drain resources from the school system itself — all to enforce their own private puritanical demands.
Tuck has not worked in the industry for five years (though she still has a website and now works with children at the local YMCA. That, however, is not good enough for the parents at the D’Ippolito Elementary School. It appears that moral outrage does not include concepts of redemption or fairness in Vineland. I am particularly interested in which father recognized Gunns and raised the alarm.

Considering my memories of toothless, gravel-voiced, chain-smoking lunch ladies at my school, this can only be an improvement. I am fairly certain that the greatest danger to these children in being handed food by Tuck is arterial blockage rather than moral corruption.

The parental backlash against Tuck is part of a growing trend of teachers and employees being punished for their private lives, though this is the first that I know of involving past conduct.
