nursegirl writes "Norwich, Conn seventh grade teacher, Julie Amero has been convicted of four counts of risk of injury to a minor after her classroom PC displayed pornographic pop-ups in class. While an expert for the defendant said he had discovered spyware on her PC that had been downloaded from a hairstyling site, the local police investigator claimed that the spyware had been downloaded from actively visiting porn sites. Amero testified that she had told four other teachers and the assistant principal about the popups, but received no assistance. The school's internet filtration software was not working because it's license had expired. Amero faces up to forty years in prison."

Religion is scarring too by Anonymous Coward · 2007-01-13 06:07 · Score: -1, Offtopic

You want to know what is scarring? Being raised as a Catholic was scarring for me. By high school I was so f***ed up I couldn't put my arm around a girl without thinking someone was going to jump out from behind a rock and chop it off. That is truely f***ed up and I would like to see some priests go to jail for it.
