HAIFA, Israel, June 23
(UPI) -- An Israeli elementary school apologized to parents after DVDs
distributed to sixth grade students were found to contain pornographic videos.
The school in Haifa
sent a text message to parents warning them not to allow their children to
watch the discs, which were supposed to depict scenes from a recent graduation
party.
About 90 students
received the DVDs, which were prepared by a contractor, as part of the school's
celebration of national "Hug Day" in Israel.
The school said the
contractor recorded the party video on DVDs that were previously used to store
pornographic videos, portions of which were found to play after the end of the
school party footage.
The text message called
on parents to return the DVDs and officials said the students will be given
corrected copies of the party video.
