Porn as Punishment; Good thing or bad thing???

MUAR: Newspaper reports that a teacher had ordered 10 Form One students to watch a pornographic movie for failing to do their homework has the Education Minister enraged. Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has ordered an investigation into complaints by several parents here that their children were forced to watch a pornographic video on Friday at 4pm in the audio-visual room of Sekolah Menengah Jalan Junid.
A Chinese daily had reported that the teacher ordered the students of both sexes into the room, closed the curtains and told them to watch the movie, saying it was their punishment for not doing their homework." I will order the Johor education director to investigate. We will take stern action if the complaint is true," he said after opening the Maulidur Rasul celebrations organised by the Johor Umno Youth yesterday.
He said there was no room in the education service for teachers who resorted to such immoral forms of punishment. "We condemn such actions."Hishammuddin said his ministry had set up several committees to look into indiscipline among students and teachers."If there is concrete evidence of misconduct, we will not hesitate to mete out the appropriate punishment, including the sack."Hishammuddin said most teachers were dedicated and were doing a great job in shaping the minds of students."I have no problem with most of the teachers. But my ministry has identified some black sheep and are dealing with them accordingly," The principal of the school declined to comment on the incident.
