In Florida, the parents of a 15-year-old girl demanded the prosecution of a Niceville High School teacher for letting her college-level students watch the R-rated movie “Alexander” during her class.
According to the Associated Press, the parents told Niceville High School officials their daughter was traumatized by the teacher showing students a movie that they considered to be “porn” because it contains nudity.
But Okaloosa County Sheriff’s officials said there was no probable cause to bring charges against the teacher, the AP reported.
Citing a report by Northwest Florida Daily News reported, Associated Press reported that “investigators determined the teacher had a legitimate reason for showing the film to her college level classical studies students. They also found the teacher had taken steps to limit what the students watched to keep underage students from viewing some of the more graphic scenes.

According to the AP, “The teacher told investigators she knew which scenes they would see given the time they had in class to view the movie. She said those scenes were of battles and speeches, which would be a good resource for the students to reference for testing.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that students who chose to watch the movie scenes when it was offered in September did so in a school hallway so they would not disturb the rest of the class, adding that “they used the 15-year-old’s laptop because it worked better than the school computers.”
“At the time, the girl was absent from school for two days and used her teacher’s password to access an account and watch the movie from home, the newspaper reported. The couple and their daughter then watched the graphic scenes they later described to the Okaloosa County School Board as pornography,” the report says.
