A. One parent. There is a nut in every town and it really doesn't matter where you live. In this case the nut went with porn but we've all heard of demands that "Huckleberry Finn" be pulled from schools because it's not politically correct according to someone.

B. When the one nut complains, the lawyers panic. They never say, "Ignore the nitiwt." No, it's automatic panic time.

C. I would be willing to bet the "suspension" is with pay. As horribly overworked as teachers are, if he's off a month with pay they might all start reading "Enders Game" to their classes.
