Was it wrong to show that movie to her class?

Should she have realized after the first showing that she shouldn't show it again?

Final question.. If you were on that jury and convicted her, for what seemed to be a minor offence, how would you feel after the judge hands down this very, very harsh sentence?

Folks,
This just came across my home page news stream
Associated Press Link, VIA MSN
So, a substitute teacher in Columbus, OH (USA) showed a violent, (gruesome really) movie to her classes.
Now she is going to JAIL for 90 DAYS
The movie, "ABC's of Death" is definitely not something that is school appropriate. The name alone should have raised red flags.
But, should this be a offense that should result in jail time? 90 days?
The judge sentenced her to, get this, 3 YEARS PROBATION with the 90 DAYS IN JAIL as a part of the probation.
Here is what I would like to know from the vast, diverse ATS Community:
Was it wrong to show that movie to her class? Duh...
Should she have realized after the first showing that she shouldn't show it again? yea..
Should she loose her substitute teaching job at that school/district? I say yes.
Should she be placed on probation for 3 years? I say N O
Should she be going to jail for 90 days? I say N O
Should she loose her teaching degree? I say no.
Final question.. If you were on that jury and convicted her, for what seemed to be a minor offence, how would you feel after the judge hands down this very, very harsh sentence?

This was a high school class.
I'm sure most of them have seen that movie, or similar movies, as well as most having already engaged in sex and possible one or two may have children of their own.
Was it stupid, sure. But I don't think they were really "exposed" to anything.
a student testified Kearns watched the 129-minute movie. The student said the movie was "disturbing" and said students in the class went "crazy" while watching it.
An assistant principal who saw the DVD movie playing in the classroom confiscated it.

So I ask you (in peace) what´s your stance on what I wrote?
When the parents can´t see or even are the reason for it, is there a justification for such an action?
Did Mr. Gold deserve Jailtime or secret respect?
How would you have acted if your kid were me?
BTW, we all agreed to never say anything and it seems everyone held word, of course until now (he´s retired and most likely dead by now)
