Should students be charged with a felony for bringing porn to school?

[TomC]

What a stupid story. My old HS had a double standard. Guy I know brought a porno video to class and was watching it on the computer[ I still remember the title “booty call 5"} and got in trouble, naturally. Girl brings one of those anime yaoi porno books to school and was showing it to all her friends, and she got off  scot free. Really ticked me off, where was the justice? So is cartoon porn okay while real person porn is not?

Yes, Japanese art trumps "Booty Call 5." Neither should be a felony, though.

Porn should not be allowed in school.

If someone legally purchases pornographic material, and stores it in their bag, which they bring to school, how would you punish them exactly?

Suspend them for a day, and get progressively harsher each time they bring it to school.

Why?  What have they done wrong?

Let's say an 18 year old goes to a convenience store in the morning before school to buy cigarettes and pornography.  They don't use any of that stuff during school hours, but it's in their bag.  Who cares?

So long has it remains hidden, then that is fine.  However, if it enters plain sight, then there is a problem.

Or if the discusion of it being there but hidden becomes a disruption "Come on. Let us see." But, yes, as a teacher I agree that if it doesn't interfere with school, it shouldn't be an issue.
