Teacher encourages 5th grade students to make Christmas cards to send to lonely people, gathers them up, and sens them off to an inmate who was actually charged with possession of child pornography. These cards contained the names and return address of said children, and the teacher told the kids they might actually become pen pals.
For some reason, even though the school wants to fire her, they can't.

A bizarre and troubling story is emerging out of New York City, where the Department of Educations Special Commissioner of Investigation discovered that a fifth-grade teacher was using students in her class to send greeting cards to a convicted felon. This, in itself, is disturbing and clearly problematic, but the major detail that the recipient was once charged with child pornography possession adds a horrific twist to the tale. The teacher, Melissa Dean, apparently encouraged her class to send their handmade holiday cards to people in need, but instead she mailed them to inmate John Coccarelli. It is important to note that Coccarelli, who is serving time in Groveland Correctional Facility in Groveland, New York, was never convicted of child pornography possession. However, he is currently serving time for weapons charges and for violating an order of protection.
