A three-judge panel on Monday rebuffed an appeal by Darlene Donahue, who was a librarian-media specialist at Newcomb Middle School. Donahue, a 13-year employee, sought to reverse a decision by the state's Board of Education.

Defense

The well respected educator should have told them that it was from showing pornography to students. That may have exonerated the teacher.

the janitor did it

if you're going to look at "sexually themed" (whatever those are: Match.com?) websites, always remember to tell people that you think someone is using your computer at night or when you're out sick or whatever: the students did it, or the cleaners did it. always deny. ask for the list of "sexually themed" websites and request that they search for traces of those websites on every computer to try to catch "the real killers."
