Matthew Barrett Accidently Shows Porn To Schoolkids
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22529419-13762,00.html

A POLITICIAN in the US inadvertently projected a collection of pictures of naked women to high school students on a wall in the middle of a civics lesson.
The Ohio legislator, Matthew Barrett, was talking to the students about how a bill becomes law when he presented pornographic images instead of graphs to the class, Associated Press reported.

A police spokesman told AP that the memory stick containing the images and a computer were seized by officers and Mr Barrett was questioned about the incident.

Mr Barrett reportedly said that he heard “snickers” from some of the students when the images were displayed and that he immediately unplugged the memory stick.

He told AP that the school's technology director determined the stick had a directory of nude images in addition to his presentation on civics lessons.

2. And it's like these are really kids anyway
High schoolers either ARE having sex or have DL'd far worse from the net (or their parents' stash).
Now.. if this had happened in from of grade schooler, um.. yeah... very bad...
but it was High Schoolers, really a non-story imho.

3. In the interests of full disclosure, he's a Democrat, though it'd be funnier if he was a Republican.
