Reminds me of the time I conned a teacher in high school into letting the class watch Romper Stomper and Killing Zoe
I don't get why she didn't watch it to see what was in the movie before she showed it to her students.
shareUpdate - A jury convicted Sheila Kearns of four felony counts on Thursday (1/15/2015). The convictions carry possible jail sentences, but Kearns, 58, is expected to get probation when she's sentenced in March.
Unfortunately this is SOP for substitute public school teachers in Ohio. Grab a random DVD, throw it in the classroom DVD player, then sit in the teachers' lounge and play with your phone for the rest of the period.
I'd let anyone watch whatever they want, I think kids will find the way to watch what they're curious about anyway, but force them to see this kind of film... that's messed up.
shareCOLUMBUS, Ohio -- A former substitute teacher convicted of showing a movie including graphic sex and violence to a high school class was sentenced on Wednesday to 90 days in jail.
Sheila Kearns, who was convicted in January of four felony counts, apologized in court, saying she hadn't watched the movie before showing it to her Spanish classes at Columbus' East High School in April 2013. The movie, "The ABCs of Death," consists of 26 chapters, each depicting some form of grisly death and representing a letter of the alphabet, such as "E is for Exterminate," ''O is for Orgasm" and "T is for Toilet."
Kearns, 58, was convicted of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. The Columbus Dispatch reported the judge placed her on probation for three years but made the jail time a condition of probation.
Kearns contended she was unaware of the movie's content. Her attorney said she never would have knowingly showed it.
But a student testified Kearns watched the 129-minute movie. The student said the movie was "disturbing" and said students in the class went "crazy" while watching it.
I just read another article about the same thing. What an idiot.
shareShe just got jail time, which is overdoing it.
Suspend her teaching license, sure. But jail time? That's going overboard

Denmark may introduce porn to public schools
A sexology professor is calling on schools to show students porn so that they can learn to tell the difference between real-life sex and what they see in online films.
Danish school kids may soon have porn on the official curriculum.
