This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: That local news outlets trade in fearmongering and shameful “ambush journalism” is nothing new.
But FOX 25’s “investigative reporter” Mike Beaudet may have gone too far with his latest “undercover” piece exposing the alleged pornographic past of a charter school English Department chair.
Kevin Hogan was suspended with pay from the top-rated Mystic Valley Regional Charter School in Malden pending an investigation into his previous career as a gay porn star. This, despite the fact that the school admits his references “Were flawless” and, according to at least one parent, “the kids really love him.”
Though Hogan’s extracurricular activities are clearly legal, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which handles teachers’ licenses, said it would be looking into the matter. “We expect teachers to hold a very high moral standard,” said a department spokesperson. “They are role models for students.”
This latest story of porn-star shaming comes after an LA-area elementary school attempted to cover up a visit by Sasha Grey upon learning that she was once an adult film actress.

This is a disgusting piece of “journalism” hokum!
Just because he was a porn star, doesn’t mean he is going to have sex with the kids at school.. it’s interesting how people judge a person base on what they do for living without actually knowing the person.

LOUIS & DAVID
September 2010 - London
I’ve been having a lot of fun using m iPhone camera and the various “toy camera” apps I’ve discovered. The freedom to shoot anywhere anytime is truly liberating and a driver for creativity. A case in point, we were having lunch with my friends David and Louis and I snapped this in an instant. It captured the love, intimacy and warmth these two amazing men share. I posted it on Flickr and hits had well over 2,000 views.
