"Protecting children" at the expense of common sense

I'm sure you've heard about this case where a substitute teacher was charged with exposing porn to minors. The long and short of it is that the computer was infected with spyware, but instead of getting the facts right, the state went ape shit to convict her of whatever they could. It was completely fucking ridiculous.

Now while I question why she was teaching when her husband "had just taught me recently how to do the computer," the fact remains that every asshole who wanted to make an example of her, and subsequently ruined her life, is not accountable at all for what they did to her. That sucks.

Honestly, it's too bad it isn't a crime to be stupid...she would have every reason to be convicted to the fullest extent of the law.
