You like Deli's Cal? Katzinger's is supposedly good.

The Ohio Deli that was on Man v Food felt dirty to me.

Lulz, if that were a coed, Coach Meyer would've fucked her by now. Ed would've cut the hush money check from his shadow booster account.

QuoteSubstitute teacher who showed graphic movie to classes sentenced to 90 days in jail

A Franklin County judge criticized Columbus City Schools on Wednesday for putting Spanish-language classes at East High School in the hands of a long-term substitute who didn't know Spanish and showed students a movie containing graphic sex and violence.

"This is what happens when you put a teacher in a class that she cannot teach," Common Pleas Judge Charles A. Schneider said before sentencing the former substitute to 90 days in jail.

"They put a permanent substitute in a high-school Spanish class who can't speak Spanish at all. Here we are, with the Columbus public schools telling us what wonderful things (they) are doing."

Sheila Kearns, 58, was convicted in January of four counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, all low-level felony offenses. Schneider placed her on probation for three years but made the jail time a condition of her probation.

He ordered her to report to the county jail on April 10 but said he will delay the sentence if she appeals her conviction, which her attorney said she plans to do.

Kearns, of Miller Avenue on the South Side, told police she showed the movie The ABCs of Death to her classes on April 11, 2013, without reviewing it in advance. She told a detective she had her back to the screen and never turned around to watch the movie as it played for five separate classes throughout the day.

Schneider told Kearns on Wednesday that her claim is "unconscionable. There's no way you'll persuade me that's what happened."

Two of the students who saw the movie testified. The judge said he was "shocked and disappointed" that other parents refused to let their children testify.

"That was wrong," he said. "The community has to take responsibility."

No parents or students attended the sentencing hearing.

A district spokesman told The Dispatch after Kearns' conviction that foreign-language substitute teachers are scarce and the school "was unable to find anyone who could teach the language at that time."

Kearns, who did not testify at her trial, apologized during Wednesday's hearing. "I do love children," she said. "I am sorry. I should have watched the movie."

Rather than answering questions after the hearing, Kearns handed a reporter a handwritten statement that praised God and included a Bible quote from Galatians: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Assistant County Prosecutor Kacey Chappelear told the judge that Kearns has yet to grasp the seriousness of her actions and that her attitude about the allegations has been dismissive.

Kearns' attorney, Geoffrey Oglesby, insisted that she is sorry and said he saw "disgust and remorse" on her face as she watched the movie during the trial.

To be guilty of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, a person must do so "with knowledge of the content," state law says. The jury acquitted her of the first count, determining that she might not have been aware of the content while showing the movie to the first class, but convicted her for each subsequent showing.

The ABCs of Death, which isn't rated, consists of 26 chapters, one for each letter of the alphabet and each depicting a bizarre or grisly death. Some of the chapters also contain full-frontal nudity and sex acts.

The school district fired Kearns in June 2013. The Ohio Department of Education permanently revoked her substitute-teaching license after her conviction.

The judge sounds like a grade-A over-opinionated asshole.  It is more disturbing to me that people like him are named/elected judges than that a school district couldn't find a Spanish-speaking substitute teacher.
