When the guest speaker at a high school brings porn

Guest speaker removed after porn shown during presentation to Chesterfield students

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The principal of Midlothian High School sent an email to parents after an “inappropriate image” was displayed during a presentation for students Monday morning.

Principal Shawn A. Abel said in the email that the school was hosting a special Career Pathways program for sophomore students. During one of the presentations by a Bon Secours x-ray technician, the image appeared on the screen. Students told 8News the image was some variation of pornography.

The guest speaker was immediately removed from the assembly. 8News has reached out to Bon Secours for a statement regarding the incident.

“Like you, I am very concerned that a distraction caused by an outside speaker would become the focus of an otherwise important conversation with our students,” Abel stated in the email. “We will redouble our efforts when we coordinate events with outside speakers, including screening the presentations ahead of time.”.

Was he showing x-rays, sonograms or some other diagnostic imaging? I'm betting so. He may have shown a mammogram or an ultrasound of a fetus in the womb. That would be enough to set off the prudery in many people.

Students said it was "some variation of pornography". What exactly does that mean, "variation"?

demand Principal Abel's resignation. I would not take a chance that he will reform his selection of speakers given he had the chance to do so before endorsing this perp. NO EXCUSES for bad behaviour of a school principal.

I've seen x-ray images of objects that were unable to be removed from orifices; possibly the tech had one of those images in his Power Point. That might account for the "variation" of pornography.
