Racist games and pornography "found on school computer"

6:00am Tuesday 16th January 2007 in News By Ben Pike

FURIOUS parents at Chilton Trinity Technology College have demanded an investigation after schoolchildren discovered "racist" and "pornographic" material on a school computer.

A class of year ten pupils laughed and joked at the images on the computer screen until they realised the severity of what was in front of them.

One racist game the room of students were exposed to advocated the killing of ethnic minorities, but was so obscenely titled it cannot be printed.

An unnamed member of staff has been suspended and the computer seized by senior management after the material - thought to be attachments to emails and pictures - was discovered.

Caroline Bennett, whose 14-year-old daughter was in the class when the material was discovered, said the children didn't know what was going on.

"Originally they were all laughing but after five or ten minutes they were all really upset," she said.

"There were pornographic pictures and racist games they were all looking at.

"All the pupils were coming home telling their parents and other teachers."
