Teacher suspended for showing high-school students infamous body-parts video
A teacher has been suspended by a Montreal school for showing Grade 10 students the infamous video that shows a killing allegedly committed by Luka Rocco Magnotta.
The teacher showed the students the grotesque scenes on June 4 and was immediately suspended that afternoon — with pay.
Staff at Cavelier-De LaSalle High School in Montreal’s west end say they quickly informed the students that a team of psychologists was available to deal with any problems that might have resulted from watching the video.
“We condemn with one voice the actions of the teacher who showed students a video whose content was as inappropriate as it was offensive,” the school board said in a statement Wednesday.
“The incident is being taken very seriously.”
The teacher had been under contract as a replacement through the end of the year, for a 10th-grade history and citizenship education class.
The teacher apparently apologized to the school by email and is now scheduled to lay out his version of the facts before a labour-relations board Wednesday. A decision is expected by the end of the school year, but could also come during the summer.
Magnotta, a male escort and porn actor originally named Eric Newman, is awaiting extradition from Germany and faces murder charges in the slaying of Chinese exchange student Jun Lin.
A memorial is planned in Montreal for Lin tomorrow night.
A video circulating on the Internet — called 1 Lunatic, 1 Ice Pick — is believed by authorities to show Lin’s murder in Montreal several weeks ago.
It shows someone stabbing a man and dismembering him. It then shows the killer committing acts of sex and cannibalism on parts of the corpse.
Another Montreal high-school teacher, speaking to The Canadian Press, says he has heard from several of his students who have watched the video at home and immediately regretted it.
Education Minister Michelle Courchesne expressed anger over the incident.
“It’s horrifying,” Courchesne told reporters in Quebec City. “It’s a very, very serious and total lack of judgment. I don’t see any educational value in that (video).”
I remember watching some messed up shit on RS(-offtopic when NWS was still allowed) back in high school. It was of some guy cutting up his own testicles, piercing his own penis, doing some super f'd up shit (some kind of body sport olympics?)... that kind of desensitized me to a lot of things I ended up seeing later on... With internet these days, gruesome movies easily downloadable to watch, its not a big surprise that this video doesn't phase kids as we expect it to
[edit]
For those that want to read about the video (and not watch it), I found a description of it:
Spoiler!
Very hard to find, the 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick Video took the internet by the storm as the most horrific shock video to have been released to date. There are speculations that One Lunatic One Ice Pick may be an actual snuff film – produced by some crazy psycho who was paid to murder a person and film it on camera. Though as with everything that starts going viral on the internet, the chances of the reality being blown out of proportions are quite substantial. As a result, it’s quite possible that 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick is not a snuff film at all, but rather a home made recording of a psychopath who filmed his sick deed on camera the same way thousands of other murderers did, utilizing whatever technology allowed at the time.
Some people say that the 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick Video was produced in San Francisco, USA, others say it’s work of some crazy, 20 year old Russian who got paid 6 figures for it. To give his clients their moneys worth, the 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick Video contains murder, beheading, dismemberment, cannibalism and necrophilia (it doesn’t appear as though castration took place in this video, though).
The 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick Video is filmed in a dimply lit room. A naked male is seen tied to a frame of bed while his captor stabs him in the abdomen with an ice pick. The victim is them seen with his throat slashed as his captor proceeds to slowly slice various parts of his body with a knife.
Later in the video, the victim is entirely decapitated and the captor uses his kitchen knife to cut into the muscles and dismember one limb after another. The murderer plays with severed limbs and even rubs his crotch area with them. It must have turned him on because the next thing he does is flip the dismembered, decapitated corpse on its front and fuck it in the ass from behind.
Using a knife and fork, the murderer then slices a piece of fatty flesh from victim’s ass and presumably eats it before bringing a hungry dog in to also feast on freshly killed man. The black and white pooch could not resist the smell of raw flesh and bit right into the stump.
Once pooch was done, the murderer stuck a bottle neck up dismembered man’s anus and repeatedly assfucked him with it. Putting the severed hand into use once more, the murderer laid on his bed pantless and masturbated with it.
I don't know man, by the time you reach the age of 15/16, you're almost fully developed and I suppose you would already have knowledge of really fucked up shit so I can understand how this wouldn't have a lasting effect
Any of the 10th graders who've experienced any psychological or traumatic issues after watching it haven't been exposed enough to this kind of stuff .. I grew up watching horror movies and some really gory shit. Exposing this video to 10 year-olds would be different ..
idk this is just how I feel about it, since I'm still a teen myself

I watched that too, it was the BME Pain Olympics
Also 1 Guy 1 Screwdriver in eight grade
To everyone who commented saying how it's not that bad, or how they admit they are desensitized due to growing up in this time and age, you guys are exactly what the fuck I'm talking about.
There is supposed to be a line drawn. That line may change slightly by "era", yes, but when the bar is set so low that a video of an actual murdering of a human, decapitating,defiling, and eating the corpse, setting a wild animal upon it, and then sending various body parts by mail is not enough to cause "lasting effects", you know the bar is set way too fucking low.
Just hearing and reading about this makes me sick. I can't even imagine watching it. It doesn't make you hardcore that you can watch sick shit like this and not feel bad. It makes you sick.
This entire incident, and some of the reactions following it are exactly why

Reason: Edited for typos
-school board was too lenient on this teacher. How the heck does the teacher still get paid after being suspended? -poor judgement shown by the teacher. He'll have a tough time getting his contract renewed at the end of the year.
Other article said that most of the students urged him to play it. They took a vote, and it was 22 students that wanted to see it, and 3 that didn't. It also said the teacher was still reluctant, but ended up doing it.
At the very least, he didn't just decide to play it for the hell of it... but still wasn't a bright decision to go by majority.
i watched it a week ago, its so fcked up. its really disturbing, I couldnt watch it all without skipping ahead. cant believe the teacher would show tat in class to grade 10 students
Lol I rmbr in grade 7 in 94, our teacher accidently forgot to skip a scene that shows titties. He got so paranoid, and made a deal with us if we promise not to tell our parents he will show it again.

I think he's at least equally idiotic for going with a vote. If he just showed it, yeah, he's an idiot with bad judgement.
If he listened to a student vote, he must think it's ok, and that listening to students tell him how to do his job must be a good idea.
Hmm.. show students ridiculously gory inappropriate video?
