The incident would probably make newspaper headlines anyway — “Middle school students find picture of topless teacher on school iPad” — but only in a crazy world are the kids punished for the teacher’s goof-up:
Some students at Highland Middle School in Anderson, Ind., got a peek of their teacher’s bare breasts on a school-issued iPad while in class.
Those students have been suspended and threatened with expulsion.
The school district said it has taken action against the teacher, but they wouldn’t specify what action, only that she is still a member of the school staff.
“The picture showed up of the teacher topless,” said Joshua Troutt, 13, describing the incident that occurred at Highland Middle School.
He and three other students were in their classroom, playing a game on a school-issued iPad.
He said one of the students pressed a button, and a photograph with his teacher’s bare chest was revealed.
“It’s not our fault that she had the photo on there,” Troutt said. “We couldn’t do anything not to look at it, if it just popped up when he pressed the button. It was her fault that she had the photo on there. Her iPhone synched to it. She had to have pressed something to make all of her photos synch on there.”
In which insane universe is this the kids’ fault?
Looking at the photos on the iPad did not get the kids suspended. Asking the teacher why she never wears her pearl necklace in class is probably what did it.
