Word has spread rapidly around the Joplin High School campus about the admission by a child sex criminal to law enforcement officers that he had pornographic photos of 10 Joplin students, four of whom have been identified.
Since that man, Ronny Justin Myers, 35, was in charge of monitoring high school students' laptops that has created concern about how much privacy the students have and started students taping over the cameras on their laptops.
Myers made that admission to law enforcement officers seven months ago, but this is the first that the students have heard about it, according to those who have talked to the Turner Report.
The first students to learn about Myers' admission learned it at their homes and then brought the information to school and the word spread. No one read about it on the Turner Report, at least not at school.
In order to protect Joplin High School students from evil influences, R-8 Administration has blocked the Turner Report this year.

Huff is doing the right thing. Your blog is ridiculous and sad.
This blog is spot on and blocking the Turner Report won't keep the kids from finding out the truth. What is ridiculous and sad is how little Joplin seems to expect of its school system. You can always go read the court documents yourself.
4:33--How much did Huff pay you? I don't think he could pay me enough to put protecting his sorry hide ahead of student safety and decency.
What sick people are attracted to that man. I don't get it. But, maybe I just don't have enough desire for money.
4:33, if the blog was so ridiculous, they wouldn't block it, and you wouldn't be back again to comment. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
Calm down Turner. In the middle of your whining about both Huff and the Joplin Globe, I'd like to put in my two-pence of rationality.
You were duly accused of putting a link to a pornographic book (your own) onto a blog (also your own) which purported to be an unauthorized "teaching blog". You asked for and got a hearing in which it was determined that you violated numerous Board of Education and Administrative policies and for which you were duly fired. You then had the opportunity to appeal that administrative finding in a neutral state district court, which you refused.
Seems to me that you are guilty, even though like all the rest of the social offal in the jails and prisons you still won't admit guilt. So fine.
But therefore, according to the duly found findings of fact and of law, you are a rogue teacher who slips in links to pornography on your various and sundry blogs. Wherefore, the Joplin school system -- and the other various local school districts -- have no choice but to block your various blogs and anything else affiliated with you.
Now whether there are bigger perverts than you running around has nothing much to do with the local education authorities having a moral and legal duty to block your efforts to get at their charges at the school or on school property or even after school hours, i.e. on these laptops.
Don't worry, you'll always have Facebook.
I'd agree that these laptop cameras built in along with their microphones should be disabled for the privacy and security of minor students. This can be done by simply putting a layer of masking tape over the built in webcams and instructing both parents and students about the dangers of letting webcams take pictures of them in their bedrooms as well as putting private passwords on public property.
But Internet learning using computers and tablets and smartphones are going to take over for expensive, mediocre, and yes, rogue teachers like you, Turner.
Huff should pare the ranks of the administration as well as that of you teachers, make sure that every student as well as their parents, can disable their webcams by having a sleeve over the webcam during non-school hours. That webcam is the Eye of Big Sauron-Sister.
And yes, blocking the web sites of all political persuasion, the left as well as the right. These students have enough problems learning to read, write and do arithmetic. They don't need any political programming by anyone not their parents.
It is not as if you really have any deeply held moral principles at all, much less against censorship. There is only a difference of degree, and certainly not principle or really much substance, between you and say, Ronny Justin Myers or Carol Stark of the Joplin Globe. Not even a shekel's worth.
The duly-elected and appointed authorities, both in the school system and in the local media, will always have a bigger audience and influence than you and I, Turner. And maybe that is even often a good thing.
If that is your idea of rationality, I hope I never see your idea of irrationality.
That is as good as you can do, Turner?
Time to say, "whatever." That is the official "clinch-word" used by caught retards.
I suppose it is a good thing now, isn't it, that the Joplin school-kiddies can't see you now?
The author of these comments obviously has not read Turners book, does not know him, and does not know any of the other teachers r8 has gotten rid of for no good reason. It has gone on for a long time. The author also seems to have a problem discerning the difference between fact and fiction.maybe he (or she) should go do some investigating of his or her own instead of swallowing all the propaganda the school district dishes out.
