Israeli school accidentally gave porn DVDs to sixth-graders

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.
