Students replace educational DVD with an xrated dvd of their own

[lazur]

Your endless rants...

Porn is NOT appropriate in school, period. I can't believe you're sitting here trying to justify it by any means. Oh, that guy broke the rules, so everyone may as well break the rules!

How juvenile.

 

[Calvin]

what that not everyone is a slimeball?

You find someone pursuing free expression through sexual liberation and appreciation to be more of a slimeball than a rat bastard?

 

[AndThePickles]

"Another student informed the teacher about the incident."

What a tattler! I hope he gets beat up for that.

 

[Mentok]

Meh, let the kids back in... It was just for ****s and giggles

Listen, you spastic, I wasn't justifying the appropriateness of porn in schools, I was merely arguing against the sentence of expulsion.

I was willing to give this thread a wide bearth, but ridiculous, ill-informed posts like yours have made that seemingly impossible.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

I'm not impressed, I did this when I was in high school.

 

[Peacekeeper 2.0]

pornography doesn't educate about sex, it's pure reason is to provide controversy or arousal.

I thought it was something to jack it to.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

that's the arousal part.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I started looking at it in the 8th grade so it's possible for some kids to handle. Some, not all.

Ah, gotta love the name-calling. Shows your true nature, pal.

And the expulsion was absolutely appropriate. In fact, it was probably by the book. You break the rules, you pay the consequences. The administrators of the school doing anything less serves only to prime and encourage more inappropriate bad behavior. It also sets a precedent for restraint, which, if not adhered to, can then be used in a legal environment to challenge the punishment.

But hey, let them get away with it, right? They have more of a right than the school system and/or parents of the other students to determine what's appropriate for those other students to see and not see, right?

I think name calling in the face of disrespect in the quotations of my posts, and the indirect accusation of juvenile behavior is perfectly acceptable and in keeping with your knee jerk reaction to the thread. If you don't appreciate the irony, I apologise in full.

As an aside, not once did I ever infer that they should 'get away with it', but I guess you missed all that whilst you were glossing over the pages, fueling your pre-prepared 'holier than thou' monologue.

Expulsion has done nothing besides sweep the issue under the rug, and not even a major issue at that. Stick the words 'pornography' and 'schools' into any report and the media will sensationalize it to the point of lunacy.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion regarding this matter, as am I, and anyone else, and appreciate those who are willing to battle as opposed to those with little or no opinion at all.

expulsion is way too harsh for this particular incident. Denying a child his education over a small prank, that in most cases didn't have any negative effect on the students, won't always help the students who did wrong learn from their mistakes, but will definitly keep them from learning anything. a short suspension, lots of detention (Including meetings with the school counsellors) let these kids LEARN from their mistakes.
