Never happened in any of my school assemblies. I must have been born too early. No hot teachers hitting on us either back in my days in school. Oh well...

Those poor high school seniors! I feel so sorry for them-—they must have been shocked! Shocked!

They’ve been robbed of their innocence .......

“A few” pics were shown on the screen? More than one?? yikes!
Well, I don’t know if high schoolers should be targeted as blood donors in the first place. There’s so much wrong with this senario -

The Central Blood Bank issued a statement apologizing to the students and their families and saying the unnamed employee had been indefinitely suspended pending an internal investigation. Officials said the employee had violated a ban on using flash drives and a requirement for a supervisor to review presentations in advance.

A ban on using flash drives? I hope that it is only for HIPAA privacy regulation. Wanna bet that the "supervisor" get a whack as well?

Norwin High officials also apologized in a letter to parents and said the police department in the Westmoreland County township about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh had been notified along with the district attorney's office.

In the age of zero tolerance this guy (girl?) could be up for child porn prosecution, and endangerment of 500 minors. Ouch!

"We find this incident inexcusable and are taking every measure we can to ensure that the investigation is carried out with the utmost fidelity," the letter said.

Save some money for your fidelity budget. The employee screwed up.

Detective Sgt. Jeffrey Bouldin said he planned to interview administrators, staff and the employee.

Making sure that no publicity ever goes to waste among our civil servants. I bet that he can drag this out for weeks, reviewing all of the flash drives for dirty pictures. Wonder if he will ask students if the sex ed classes have been any good?

Superintendent William Kerr said a second blood bank presentation for the junior class was canceled. He said the organization has made presentations on blood donation for years with no problems. "We find it quite unacceptable and inappropriate, and safeguards will be taken into consideration in the future," he said.

How about, always use a fresh USB drive for public presentations? Or perhaps figure out that perhaps seniors have passed all of your sex ed courses already, and that you should stop pontificating in front of the cameras?

Senior Ethan Dobranski, 17, said the photos were the No. 1 topic of conversation among students all day. "No one's ever going to forget this," he said.

I bet that blood donations are WAYYY up after this presentations!

The story misses the main point- if the kids were in class doing regular class work, this would not have happened. One more liberal outside organization (central blood bank) getting their hooks into kids. Teachers are fine with this - an assembly is easier than teaching.

Too many fishy parts of this story...

First, "school officials say "a few pornographic pictures" that were on a personal flash drive of a Central Blood Bank representative were shown on the screen." A few? Why wasn't the display turned off immediately when the first one was revealed? If it was part of a "presentation", the presenter should be fully in-charge and able to kill the thing immediately. Maybe he left the room to have sex with one of the teachers...

Second, if it was an actual presentation, one would think that it had been prepared in a program similar to Power Point, or, at minimum, simple slideshow software. In either case, pornographic pictures don't just 'pop-up', they have to be selected at some point, either individually or by picking a folder to include in the show.

What kind of idiot prepares a presentation without viewing it to make sure it's done right?

High school seniors. I'm sure they have never before seen any porn, especially on the internet.

So that’s why they’re called “flash” drives.

Rule #1 — Have separate flash drives for your porn collection and high school presentations.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
