Teacher Uses Cell Phone to Show Porn to High School Students

Alright, so we don't have much info on this one yet, but we couldn't resist bringing this story to your attention. A substitute teacher in Bixby, OK is accused of using a very unusual teaching aid when subbing in for a class of 14- and 15-year-olds. According to a number of the students, the unnamed teacher took out his cell phone and showed them pornography on it.
It's unknown just what sort of porn it was, or where it came from -- these are the sorts of details you can't really expect a local news channel to pursue, apparently. There's no word from the substitute teacher himself, who is no longer working for the school and has directed all contact to his lawyer. A smart move that, much smarter than bringing porn to school and showing it to minors!
Well, at least he didn't serve it up at a news conference.

Although he was incorrect in doing what is against school policy, the event proves how uptight we are as a society generally. The topic is so taboo, that we are never going to be able to discuss anything dealing with our "other world" the one the churches and do gooders deem out of bounds. No wonder we are dumber than dirt about oursleves and how to please anyone else.

I don't necessarily see how that shows up tightness. =/ Personally I go to class to learn, not to view porn. Unless you illustrate porn in a lecture (relating to that in some way, such as Censorship) or warn students beforehand, that is the only way it's acceptable. Pornography is kept "secretive" for a reason.
Not to mention, there were school policies broken and the students were made vulnerable in this position. The point was it was unnecessary and just uncalled for.
Are you saying that showing something like suicidal or violent pictures would be better? Or you might as well have someone commit suicide in the classroom since we're so "uptight". Clearly, society does not find that morally right. Some people don't view pornograhy as morally right either. Depending on what was shown students could have seriously been effected long term. It could change their views/perceptions on things.
An example would be if a rape scenario was shown. It's obvious that could cause long term effects. For all the teacher knew, someone in the class could have been raped before and the pornography reminds them of this, thus hurting them and causing long term damage (more so than before). Not all students would feel comfortable with viewing Pornography.
Pornography has many definitions, so it can't be put just to one. The main point is the students weren't warned beforehand. That is the problem.

Children are being desencitized to immorality, between rap/rock music, video games, pedaphiles, broken homes, homosexual agendas, and now the epidemic of teachers and their sex scandals what chance does a child have now, God is not going to allow this to go on much longer!

Firstly Chuck Barlow, while some of your comments on what is corrupting America's children are true, you are missing the point. Most of these things are situations that parents can keep their children out of. Parents and people in America need to start being responsible for their own actions. Rap and rock music can have some bad values in it, but it is up to us as adults to choose what we let our kids listen to. Video games are not a cause of violence, and again parents must monitor what games their young children play. We must monitor them and pay attention, not scrutinize and criticize, but teach good values and morals that they can build thier own life choices on. Instead of blaming everyone else for the wrongdoings in society, why don't we try instilling values in our children instead? The blame game gets us nowhere and our time could be better focused on helping children deal with the situations in life. We need to get a clue.

While I find it horrendous that a sub would do this under any circumstance, I take a bit of an issue with Chuck Barlow's take on the current situation. I teach literacy and constantly struggle trying to get kids to make meaningful connections to other books or even appropriate movies when discussing literature. Kids simply are exposed to too much garbage and parents allow it. Does your kid play endless video games and watch age-inappropriate movies? Then STOP them!!! Give them only healthier choices. Be the parent for God's sake...if not, then for your child's sake.

What was the source of the report? Is it just an unsubstantiated rumor created by a student?
FranceDec 9th 2007 7:43AM
It is simply amazing how teachers have become so involved in what is either illegal or inappropriate in the classroom. These people have infiltrated what is an honorable profession. Doesn't anyone check their background?
ShayDec 9th 2007 8:05AM
I think the problem is that some kids(sorry) do not know what the word NO means. Mine do, and they know what is acceptable and what is not. I have made that very plain and they have never crossed the bounders. Ihave always monitored my childrens friends,and activities. I have never stepped in excepted when asked for advise on something. I am the parent, not them, so it up to me to see to their safety, of both body and mind. Under no circumstances would I lie to my child, if they won`t to know something I will tell them. I will teach my child what they need to know about sex,I have lots of good medical books that explains everything.

tHIS AS USUAL IS HALF A STORY....aol DOESNT GIVE ENOUGH INFO... Names, places and details... without it is not much better than hearsay.
Was it porn...with people doing things, or was it a half nude woman?? There is a difference...Actually I do not think its such a big deal. The kids can get it themselves..on their computer...My message to everyone..life is hard enough..lighten up.....and the people who scream the loudest..need the dick more than anyone.

high school students have been considered adults for 99.9 % of human history and all of a sudden a pic of booby will destroy them?

TDXDec 9th 2007 6:38PM
Plezzzze, kids are going to look if someone shows them. Except for what they need to look at. If this "news break" is for real. People, we have other bigger fish to fry in this freaked up world.
I teach little kids and guess what? Yeah, they tell me things from home that would make Don Imus blush. This is the 21 century, we want nicer kids then we must work at it. All of us!!
TerriDec 9th 2007 8:44PM
Already many people are trying to hang this guy, and there is no actual proof of anything. It just kills me how people get all up in arms when a teacher is accused of something, but yet these same people will send their kids to school dressed in skimpy outfits and allow them to listen to rap music laced with profanity.There is a double standard that needs to be changed before any improvement can be made in society as a whole.

Dr timmy,
You are a total imbecile, a nimrod,a cretin, to say the least.
You might be a proctologist, because you really are an a$$hole that is really full of Sh$$.
You need some help, you need head doc.
The REAL truth is, that you are not a doctor, just a wackjob!
Someone who is upposed to be a teacher and shows the students porn, needs his butt kicked by one of the parents!
userbubDec 9th 2007 11:58PM
