the truth (none / 0) (#10)

Well, which is more likely?

1) that a female substitute teacher, in the view of ten 13-year-old students, intentionally choose to visit dozens of porn sites rather than teaching class or reading a book;

or

2) that a 13-year-old disabled some filtering software while the teacher's attention was elsewhere, and, while the incident was being investigated by school officials and police, denied involvement or intentional viewing of the website, instead blaming the appearance of the pornography on the substitute teacher.

Really!  I don't know any 13-year-olds with the means, motive and opportunity to do that!  It must have been the teacher!

Possibility #3 (none / 0) (#11)

Here is another possibility (found this off the majikthise links that xaxat provided).  The student looked at a website about hairstyles (something that teens might be interested in) and malware in the computer involuntarily redirected to porn sites.
This according to a forensic expert that looked at the computer.
http://www.hair-styles.org/ was accessed at 8:14:24 A.M., based upon the hair style images uploaded to the PC we were led to believe that there were students using the computer to search out hair styles. The user went to http://www.crayola.com/ at 8:35:27 A.M. The user continued accessing the original hair site and was directed to http://new-hair-styles.com/. This site had pornographic links, pop-ups were then initiated by http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com.

If anyone is at fault it is the people that produce this malware and the school for not having proper filtering software (as a matter of fact it had no firewall and outdated antivirus software).
