'Being in shock': School takes action after teen was forced to read porn out loud in class
By Bob Unruh
A school in Nevada has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of a child in the district who was forced by officials to read pornography – out loud – in class.
The resolution to the case is described by the American Center for Law and Justice as a "significant victory."
The basis of the lawsuit was that officials in Nevada's Clark County School District had forced a child to perform a pornographic monologue in a theater class, the legal team explained.
"After significant testimony was revealed in depositions, CCSD settled with us, affirming the rights of parents and students in the face of inappropriate educational content," the ACLJ announced.
The case was over the forced performance by a 15-year-old student, and a judge had rejected the school's demand that the case be dismissed.
The next step, then, was discovery, during which even school officials expressed shock over what had happened.
One, for example, said, "The content that [the client] performed, I believe, was inappropriate. … The overall content and language was not something that I felt should have been there."
And another admitted, "I do remember the first time I read it, being in shock. … What was written was not appropriate to be read and performed in a school setting. … And so it crossed the boundary."
School officials said even if parental permission had been requested, the reading still "never" would have been approved.
The student's mother became the plaintiff in the lawsuit, and explained she was forced into the action in order to document that her daughter "had nothing to do with creating this … ."
The district, on social media, had offered a misleading statement, that, "The Clark County School District is investigating the circumstances surrounding a class assignment consisting of a student-generated writing exercise that produced content not conducive to student instruction."
That resulted in a hate campaign against the student.
