Students Suspended for Viewing Porn in Class
NBC San Diego ^ | 6/18/2012

Posted on 06/19/2012 12:08:42 PM PDT by surroundedbyblue

Nine male students were suspended from Bell Middle School for allegedly masturbating while looking at pornography on their cell phones during English class. Students were suspended during the month of May, the district confirmed in an e-mail to NBC San Diego. But the email also states, the district is "prohibited from commenting on confidential student or personnel matters." The teacher, Ed Johnson, is reportedly under fire because he did not respond to students who told him about the behavior while it was allegedly happening – only saying he would give students referrals if he caught them – then went on reading at his desk. Following the incident, there are reports of controversy from the faculty over how the situation was handled by the teacher.

7th graders watching porn & masturbating. Very nice. And a teacher who ignored it all.

With adults like this, children in this society stand no chance of growing into mature, responsible, and moral citizens. And why a 13 year old needs a smart phone is beyond me.

How awful that the teacher ignored what was going on. In most public schools these days you’d expect the teacher to join in and give instructions.

That was my first reaction too. Maybe he is secretly filming it?

Why are you surprised? We threw Christ out of the public square back in the 60s and now we have folks agitating for unlimited access to drugs, prostitutes, homosexual vice and other deviant behaviors. Why should this come as a shock in this twisted, disgusting, immoral society we have?

If it was gay porn, they’ll have to allow it.

I wonder if the school district has a “no spanking” policy.

At least they were suspended. My daughter teaches music in a Catholic school, and her 7th and 8th grade boys nominated the most raunchy songs and videos (found on their smart phones) for a class assignment. She had to cancel the assignment, but the principal was not alarmed — seemed irritated that she brought it to his attention.

I spoke to the principal of our local Catholic school to see if this was a problem here, and she says that the kids are not even allowed to bring phones into the school They check them at the door in the morning and pick them up when leaving at night.

I just do not recall problems with children masturbating in class back when I was a kid and they stressed academics, instead of focusing on sexual education issues.

Sheer coincidence?

Says a lot about the effectiveness of government schools when a teacher teaching english does not notice kids watching movies on their cell phones instead of learning in class.

The communist goals for mass, compulsory schooling have now been fully realized.

So where do we go from here?

The teacher is pretty much your typical twit with a teaching certificate.

And those guys are a bunch of queers. Seriously? Masturbating with a group of dudes?

Life is a pendulum. And while I would hope that pendulum has swung as far to the left as it possibly can...

I’m not holding my breath.

They’ve been taught in sex ed that porn and masturbation are okay, and that perversion, such as public displays of their sex organs, are normal in this new culture, so what is the problem. We shouldn’t confuse these little boys with bygone standards.
