The following week, another teacher used the same laptop computer and noticed that there were numerous clips of pornography saved in a video file on the hard-drive. With the help of the district's technology specialist, the school principal traced the pornographic images to the week that George had used the computer. George admitted to viewing pornography in the privacy of his own home on the laptop. His employment was immediately terminated. George filed suit. The courts ruled against him.

The computer was purchased with state or federal funding. It was violation of the Code of Ethics- moral turpitude. Teachers have to sign the technology acceptable use policy which states acceptable and unacceptable use. He violated school policy.

He should have knew the possible consequences of what was to come if he used a school computer and looked at that on it while taking it home.   Posted on: February 22, 2019 9:07 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted October 19, 2014 3:50 pm anuLyH Reps: 175 Because it was a violation of the code of ethics. It is found to be inappropriate and a student could have seen this on the computer. It is definitely against the code of ethics.

He is not permitted to do such things with school property. That is nit why these resources are provided and it is because of people like him that these awesome resources and benefits get taken away.

He checked out private school property and used it for something other than work which is against the code of ethics.
