teachers at this school were prohibited by policy from turning off school computers, which would answer the “why didn’t she just shut down the PC?” questions. Amero testified that she told four other teachers and the school’s assistant principal about the popup problem, and nobody responded with help. The school’s internet filter license had expired…

And beyond the question of what constitutes justice for Ms. Amero, how might this ruling affect other teachers using computers with children? Will some teachers limit their use of technology in the classroom, fearing greater liability risks if porn they didn’t ask for shows up on an unsecured, school-owned PC?
