There was a college professor that got fired when students noticed a pornhub bookmark to “college girl bangs her professor” on his computer. The college noted that the theme of the video was a big reason for the firing as it made students uncomfortable.
Is it? It’s one of the most common porn tropes out there. It would be incredibly surprising to me if this wasn’t a fantasy of many male professors. (Hopefully one never acted upon, due to the power differential.) I guess it’s a red flag that he bookmarks his porn where people can see it, but I don’t see it as problematic that he’s turned on by the thought of it.
“not exploiting students for sex” is one of the most important qualifications for a teacher/prof.
Teachers have a responsibility to their students. They are in a privileged situation, and they can screw up a student’s life if they decide to act on their fantasy.
If a prof isn’t responsible enough to stop himself from viewing porn that exploits students on the computer he uses to teach students, he’s throwing up warnings.
I don’t there is anything inherently exploitative about porn, regardless of the theme. The idea that you shouldn’t be able to explore fantasies because of your profession is absurd. If the issue is with the choice of laptop, sure, but that’s a pretty minor issue, not a huge red flag.
The problem isn’t the content, it’s that the prof was foolish enough to be in a situation where students could find out. No one cares (or even wants to know) what you get up to in your spare time, so keep it that way.
The problem isn’t (necessarily) the content, the problem is the power differential. A teacher/EA sexualizing students is not ok.
If she’d avoided school related content, I think this would be a harder conversation.
As I mentioned elsewhere, EA pay seems to be the root of the issue in this case. She said she’s selling on OnlyFans because she isn’t paid enough. EAs should be paid better.
I don’t think the following should be discounted:
Sexualizing schoolkids by someone that has power in school is a bad look.
I don’t think we’d be okay with a male teacher/EA sexualizing school uniforms.

Can professors afford multiple computers now?

OpSec isn’t just for spies.
So are you going to go to all the porn sites and complain about this sort of content?
