“Sheila Kearns, 58, showed the 2013 comedy horror The ABCs of Death to students in five Spanish classes ranging in age from 14 to 18 at East High School on 11 April 2013, according to the Columbus Dispatch. She had reportedly assumed the film, which features scenes of full frontal nudity, masturbation, ejaculate, hard drug use, faeces and vomit, was suitable for students to view.
In fact, only a few of the movie’s 26 alphabetical segments, which range from A is for Apocalypse to Z is for Zetsumetsu and are directed by dozens of different film-makers – Kill List’s Ben Wheatley is the best known – are in Spanish. Kearns had her back to the movie at all times, according to her defence team, and was not aware of the graphic content.
Kearns’ decision to screen the inappropriate movie, which was certified 18 by the British Board of Film Classification for “strong violence, gore, sex, sexual violence and hard drug use”, was discovered when an assistant principal walked into the room. The supply teacher reportedly tried to fast-forward the film, but it paused on a scene in which bared female breasts could be clearly seen on the television screen.”
