One question is what is “porn” on the computer? Here’s what the Wisconsin State Journal wrote:

The arbitrator ruled the district’s termination of Harris’ employment was overreaching because a district investigation found other employees were “doing the same or similar types of things — viewing pornographic materials in various ways, receiving inappropriate emails, forwarding them to others, failing to discourage the senders, attempting to or in fact accessing inappropriate websites.

So it may well be that he was just looking at something “inappropriate” that was rather mild and not poring over some hardcore pornographic video.

In my last job, there were very strict rules about what could be done on work computers. But people often sent me material that was not appropriate for one reason or another that I read. I also remember one late afternoon when a friend and I googled for info about a local fire and somehow a porn site popped up on my computer and wouldn’t go away. We were laughing hysterically. But thank God no boss came by

I thought public schools usually had filters that blocked porn and “offensive” websites. The filters that I have heard about don’t have any exemptions for teachers or administrators because MOST of the filtering sites are run by third parties. I really can’t imagine any instance by which a teacher would need to be able to have unlimited/unfiltered access on a school computer (unless the teacher is in charge of the school’s computer network—though school networks are usually handled by the school district’s administration

Now, a teacher’s personal home computer—provided it’s not connected to the school’s network—is different. But if the teacher is trying to prevent his/her own children from accessing “offensive” sites becomes the “Administrator” and can set a personal ID and password allowing him/her to access any site (of course, he/she needs to log out completely; otherwise, anyone else in the house can then access all those “nasty” sites).

Is O’Reilly, a former teacher and the defendant in a sexual harassment case, anyone to chime in on this topic?

David C = troll.

@david Kroa: Every American should pull their children out of school, over something one teacher did. How about you walk us through that logic, before we start applying it to a few things your Tea Party Masters told you to unconditionally love.

After all, we’re interested in being fair here.

Andrea Mackris vs. Bildo court complaint excerpt:
“During the course of this dinner, in approximately May 2003, Defendant BILL O’REILLY, without solicitation or invite, regaled Plaintiff and her friend with stories concerning the loss of his virginity to a girl in a car at JFK, two “really wild” Scandanavian airline stewardesses he had gotten together with, and a “girl” at a sex show in Thailand who had shown him things in a backroom that “blew [his] mind.” Defendant then stated he was going to Italy to meet the Pope, that his pregnant wife was staying at home with his daughter, and implied he was looking forward to some extra-marital dalliances with the “hot” Italian women."

He who is without sin may cast the first loofah.

Orally is an asshat but the teacher was way out of line with the porn on school grounds and probably should not get his job back, imho.

Yes, Kirsten could have brought up the co$tly pa$t of the Vibrator Coach, that would have been quite amusing.

Go Kirsten!

The only ironic thing missing from that conversation would have been Billo sarcastically instructing Powers to stop interrupting Obenshain while she filibusters all of the speaking time!
Can O’Reilly really say that he doesn’t treat Dems(even FoxNews Dems) worse than he treats Conservative Republicans given his vast record of disdain for anyone to the left of his rigid right-wing ideology?

Bill O’reilly is not a public school teacher.

Viewing pornography on public school grounds should be felony, no matter who you are. Every American should pull their children out of public schools. Power’s comments: I’m speechless.
