This story's kind of old, but I found it while looking up the address to my former employer (the newspaper):

http://www.bismarcktribune.com/articles/2006/04/25/news/local/113696.txt

Pretty insane. At my old middle school (not this one, and it's since been closed and replaced), I remember a similar scenario (two students looking up porn on the internet) and they only received detention and a ban from the school computers for the rest of the year (which was almost over anyway). So either things have gotten far more ridiculous since when I went there or I'm really glad I didn't go to this one.

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?

But to answer your question no, they should definitely not be charged with a felony. I don’t think they should even be suspended, but if your looking up porn on the computer I guess you could get a virus and wreck it, so I see why that rule is needed.

Kids bringing lulz to school get what they deserve. And wrecking people's computer with it, Geeze Louise.

Using school materials to look it up is one thing, but simply bringing it, geez!

If this law is also read correctly giving a Playboy to a minor is also a felony, and thus also a bigger crime than giving them alcohol or tobacco. How ridiculous.

Why the hell is it illegal for 14 year olds to look at pornography in the first place? By that age, it's not like a lot of them haven't seen something sexual on TV or the movies. Or in a lot of cases, actually had the 'real thing.'

After doing some more research, I discovered this site. YUCK!

http://www.its-not-for-sale.com/index.html

I love how they give you all the retailers that sell porn. Sounds like free advertising to me. It's also incomplete (I can think of at least two others in Bismarck) and they also don't mention those who sell or rent videos. Since they're also Minot-based they haven't been that successful there since yet another strip club has opened since their inception. There was some controversy over the name (people didn't want a place called "Sin" in downtown), so they agreed to change it. Now it's basically unnamed and is simply labeled "Gentlemen's Club".

Anyway I'm glad I didn't hear of these freaks when I lived there, although I might've if I lived in Minot.

Students shouldn't be charged with anything for bringing porn to school.  If the student brings it out and it ends up causing some kind of disturbance, the student should be punished appropriately within the bounds of the school, but bringing the police into the matter when no one's in any kind of danger at all is just stupid.

That's a bit far. The school should deal with porn harshly, if found out, but no cops should be involved and the school shouldn't conduct searches for porn, either.

I'd pass. Watching an episode of Nova in class that showed childbirth is quite enough for me, thank you very much. Tongue

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

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.

yeah. 9 marked a real drop-off in quality. 7 and 8 are masterpieces.

Suspension of students that do wrong, is a stupid punishment. It's just a day off from school anyway.

Sorry, left out a word.  I meant to say in-school suspension, which is just a kid doing nothing but work from 7:50-2:24.

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.

That's kind of the defacto rule for everything though.  You can bring a handgrenade to school if it stays in your backpack and nobody ever see's it or hears about it.

It's utterly absurd, but there should arguably be a punishment for looking at porn during school hours, particularly if it's during class hours, and depending on the age group. I'm sure a lot of parents don't want their kids exposed to porn. Of course, it should not be a felony, a reprimand maybe, and detention on repeat offense.
