Teen Suspended for Outing Porn Star Staff

He asked her for her "autograph"...
"Samantha Ardenete"
A teenager has been suspended from classes after revealing on a Facebook page that an office assistant at his Quebec City-area high school was moonlighting as porn star in her off-hours.

According to news reports, the 14-year-old alleged administrators at Etchemins Secondary School in Levis, Que., also threatened him with criminal charges.

School board spokesman Louise Boisvert confirmed the youth was suspended last Thursday and that administrators are to meet with him and family members Monday. But, she said, “the school never threatened expulsion or to press charges against him.”

The clerical worker, who goes by the porn-actress name of Samantha Ardente, was suspended with pay last week after authorities learned a student had spotted her in the porn video Serial Abusers 2...
Man, I'd like to know the inside dope on this one. So, she's suspended with pay?  For how long, until the kids forget? One thing I'll say about teenagers is that they never forget anything that can be used against an adult.  Well, the school admits she did nothing illegal:
While officials acknowledge Ardente hadn’t done anything illegal, the board said her cinematic activities don’t correspond with the values being taught at the school, across the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City.

Ardente has worked for the school board since 2002 and at Les Etchemins school for the past two years.
As the child of a high school teacher, I can tell you all kinds of amusing stories about things teachers did that could have gotten them canned (no, it wasn't my dad, but several his co-workers).

And what did the kid do to get suspended?
...The boy had asked her for an autograph. Ardente wouldn’t give him one and asked him to keep quiet about the matter. The boy then created a Facebook page in her name, complete with a racy photo of her in her undies.

As word of the Facebook page spread around school, Ardente went to her bosses and told them of the situation....
...The boy was reportedly asked to take the Facebook page down but said he couldn’t because he had created it under the Ardente pseudonym and now cannot access the administration...
Did he really only ask for an autograph? And he "forgot" the password to the facebook account?  I find that hard to believe too. Is he being suspended for violating Facebook's terms of agreement? 

So, I don't care.  She didn't work with the kids (well, except for the fact that he had access to her to ask for an "autograph").  If he tried to blackmail her, it didn't work.  Teenagers need to learn that adults aren't perfect.  It's something they'll find out as soon as they become one in any event.  Give her her job back, if she can stand being laughed at constantly.  If she quits, that's also an object lesson for the kids.

As for the kid?  I can't see what he did wrong, unless they're making rules up ex post facto.  Not all situations come out neat, and eventually either she will quit, or the kid will drop out of school or graduate.  Awkward problem solved.
