OED will disagree with your remark. It says that one of the meanings of the word "interest" is "the advantage or benefit of a person or group" (see example sentences and synonyms), which is kind of what I meant by "in your interest".
Anyway, in my first comment I specified very clearly what I meant by "interest" of a person -- it was whatever the person wants. And it's very easy to find out what's in the person's interest, you just need to ask them what they want.
> In fact making them aware of the fact is acting against their interests by directly harming them.
Looks like you suggest a sweet lie instead of a bitter truth. I prefer the bitter truth.
> If you consider that people with different tastes to yours are a hazard to children, where is the line?
Again, you pretend to misinterpret what I said to make it easier to criticize.
The tastes I consider harmful to my children (future children, I should add; I don't have any yet) are not exactly equal to the tastes which are different from mine. There are plenty of things which I don't enjoy, but which I'd like my children to appreciate better. And vice versa, there are things I kind of like, but I'd want my children to be less susceptible to them.
And my point wasn't whether porn performers should teach in schools or not, it wasn't about my preferences. What I said is that some parents may prefer not to let porn performers teach their children, and we should respect their preference.
