Lawmaker Mistakenly Puts Up Nude Photo For High School Students

A state legislator surprised a high school class when the computer he was using projected a photo of a nude woman during a lecture on how a bill becomes a law.

State Rep. Matthew Barrett was giving a civics lesson when he inserted a data memory stick into the school computer and the image of a topless woman appeared instead of the graphics presentation he had downloaded.

Barrett said there were a few snickers from the approximately 20 students in the senior government class at Norwalk High School when the image appeared out of nowhere. He immediately pulled the memory stick out of the computer.

He finished his lecture using old-fashioned printouts to not have any further unexpected surprises, then met with the school's principal and technology staff, who examined the stick. He said the school's technology director determined the stick had a directory of nude images in addition to Barrett's presentation on civics lessons.

Of course, the Democrat said: "I have no idea where these came from."

Barrett said the memory stick was a gift he received about three weeks ago from a friend.
