After Sasha Grey's flirtation with volunteerism turned into an all-out shitstorm, Sasha is defending her right to read- to kids, that is.

The porn queen-turned-mainstream actress, who publicly announced her retirement from XXX films in April, has released a statement responding to those who found her G-rated visit to a Los Angeles elementary school as part of the Read Across America program offensive, saying:

"I am proud to have participated in the "Read Across America" program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, CA. I read “Dog Breath” by Dav Pilkey to the sweetest 1st and 3rd grade children I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent...I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am. I will not live in fear of it...I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives."

Personally, Skin Central thinks this is the best advertisement for volunteering that's come around in years. What better incentive to reach out and touch someone ('s LIFE, you pervs) than the possibility that you might meet a porn star along the way? And, you know, make the world a better place or whatever.
