Supreme Court to hear teacher porn issue
Madison - The state Supreme Court will decide whether pornographic images found on the school computer of a fired Cedarburg teacher should be made public, attorneys in the case said today.
Robert Zellner, a Cedarburg High School teacher who was fired in January for viewing pornography on his computer, filed a court action to stop 1,500 "adult images" found on his computer from being released. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had requested the release under the state open records act.
An Ozaukee County Circuit Court judge ruled that the images are a public record, but Zellner appealed. The state appeals court made no decision, instead asking the Supreme Court to take the case.
Zellner was fired after evidence showed he viewed pornography on his computer for 67 seconds on a Sunday, although he has since testified that he viewed pornography on his computer several times previously. His lawyer said Zellner is fighting release of the images because it is not clear how many of them were accessed intentionally.
Zellner also is fighting in court to get his job back. An arbitrator ruled that the Cedarburg School Board should have reprimanded Zellner but not fired him, based on the 67-second incident, but the board has refused to do so and has spent more than $100,000 in legal fees on the case.
The Supreme Court gave deadlines for the parties to file court papers in the case but it is not known when a decision will be issued.
In Cedarburg, a teacher is fired after it he was found to be downloading pornography at school. The teacher's union defends him on the grounds that another teacher checked stock quotes from school and while equally guilty of "personal use" was not fired. Morally equivilent? The union thinks so.
Both union and teacher maintain that nothing wrong was done, and the school board moves to share all 1,500 pornographic photos, from the teacher's machine, with the community. Let them judge who's in the right.
Instead of doing the right thing and resigning in disgrace, the teacher has run up $100,000 in legal bills vs. union reps and is now running the issue of "privacy" in regards to in-school porn stash to the state supreme court.
Maybe he was preparing a lesson plan on the Clinton Legacy.
I wouldn't be worried about students seeing stock quotes on the pc even if they were personal. The Unions secular argument of moral equivalency of stocks and porn is dumb.
I am not sure why the images have to be "released" though? I have heard of judges who had to view pictures to determine whether they were "prurient" and/or pornographic.
That's public money going to make trial lawyers rich, who will then invest in liberal causes to raise taxes and repeat the cycle.
Maybe he was a biology teacher.
67 seconds?..........Dang, he's worse of than we thought.....
Stocks == Porn
We're all pornographers now.
Or an Annatomy teacher.
I think I can get away with that photo here. Fingers crossed.
1500 images in 67 seconds. He's quicker than we thought.
And those are just the pop-up's!
Sorry, you did not supply enough data to determine if that was an 'Annatomy teacher'. :)
Dang! What's on your computer?
There are software programs that can run in the background and fetch all postings in some alt binary group. So he could have downloaded the pictures overnight and got caught 67 seconds after he started looking. (of, course, my knowledge of these matters is very limited, you understand ).
I think that's even faster than cable!.....
Yeah, I have the fastest cable available and if I were downloading typical jpg pictures, I could average about one per three seconds.
Yeah, Anna's a work of art, alright!
If the computer in question was available for use by anybody else, then I can't see a conviction. He could have been set up..........
Sometimes it's the browser too. When I upgraded to Firefox 2.0, the pages loaded noticeably faster. I also have Satellite internet access, which should be slower than both Cable/DSL.
A 50kb jpeg image opens in about 3/4 of one second for me. If you use Firefox, this will speed it up even more.
Another thing to check out (only if you are interested and feeling adventurous, of course) is a TCP Optimizer.
