Substitute Teacher Accidentally Shows Students Porn |
DEARBORN, Mich. — Sometimes it feels as if the internet is so chock-full of porn that smutty videos and images are lying in wait, just trying to burst through our safe-for-work online doings. One unfortunate substitute teacher in Dearborn, Michigan, definitely felt that way earlier this month when he attempted to show an history video to his seventh-grade students…and accidentally gave them an education of a very different kind. Instead of a presentation on Lewis and Clark, the middle school students were treated to what The Detroit News reported as âthirty to forty-five secondsâ of porn. O.L. Smith Middle School Principal Zeina Jebril told news outlets, âThe substitute teacher was immediately removed from the class and interviewed by myself and our school resource officer.â But it doesnât appear that the teacher accessed the smut knowingly. He was using the school’s computer to access an online video, and he hadn’t been searching for porn on another tab. The school districtâs communication director, David Mustonen, told the Detroit Free Press that âThe substitute teacher that was in the classroom was unaware that this video was there.â Further investigations have revealed no evidence that it was a student prank or a criminal act, either. The school sent home notes with the twenty-nine students who were exposed to the smut and provided support for any trauma they may have experienced, Fox News reported. Now the school district, whose massive computer system experiences millions of log-ins per week, will now âadvance their filtering software to ensure the incident does not occur again.â The substitute teacher in question will likely never work in the Dearborn school system again, the principal told The Detroit News. That feels a bit unfair to us, since neither police nor school administration have found any evidence that this was the teacherâs fault. But then again, if we were him, weâd never want to face those students again, either. Dark classroom stock photo by Emmanouel V. |
