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..

(17,984 posts)Students said it was "some variation of pornography". What exactly does that mean, "variation"?

(7,888 posts)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.
