"I need to show you something." Donna said opening the door to her boss's office.
"Sure Donna, come on in, bring a friend. I mean I'm just sitting here doing nothing." Josh said sarcastically turning away from his computer screen.
"You're playing Solitaire." She said pointing to the screen
Josh looked sheepish and closed the program. "Not the point Donnatella."
"I need to show you something." She repeated again.
"Don't tell me it's another website about me cause frankly I can't handle being worshipped again."
"Josh, the website was not worshipping you, it was berating you and you got yourself into a whole heap of trouble with CJ because of it."
"Not the point. Someone still took the time to make a website about me."
"Josh, I need to show you something." She said more forcefully.
"What is it??" He saw the look on her face and thought something was seriously wrong.
"My sister sent me a video…"
"It's not a chick flick is it?"
"Josh!!!" Donna said sounding a little irritated, she hated it when he didn't take her seriously.
"What?"
"Would you let me finish?"
"Go ahead." He sat back in his chair and folded his arms
"My sister sent me video.."
She saw Josh open his mouth but she continued on
"My niece is 14 years old and has taken a sex ed class."
"What's so different about this video from any other sex ed video?" Josh asked
"Well.. I think I should let the video speak for itself".
She put the video in the recorder. The picture came into view, they watched for a couple of minutes and Josh suddenly snapped the TV off
"Donna, that's porn." He said shocked
"It's not porn"
"You brought porn into the Whitehouse."
"I never brought porn into the Whitehouse Joshua. This is a sex Ed video."
"It's porn!!! Why would your sister send you porn??" he said with his voice slightly raised
"Stop yelling! She sent it to me cause I have friends in high places and she thought it was important and it's not porn."
"You could get fired for this"
"Luckily I have a kind and understanding boss who one of these days is going to treat me to a vacation somewhere exotic.
It's still porn." Donna said sweetly
"Josh, please sit and watch the video. You'll find it's not porn and quite an educational video."
"You watched this."
"Yes"
"And??"
"Let's just say we could all learn from it."
Donna turned to leave the room. "Should I close the door??"
"What for?"
"Cause I know that you are going to watch it."
"I can't its porn."
"Josh, you have to watch it its important."
"Why??"
"Sex ed is on the table again and this video could change everything."
"Ok, I'll watch it but no-one comes near my office for the next 30 minutes ok."
"OK and thank you."
He waved his hands at her to get out of his office and flipped the tv back on.
Sam walked towards Josh's office and waved to Donna on his way past. She was on the phone and tried to signal to Sam not to go into Josh's office but he just thought she was waving back.
He opened the door to the view of two people having sex.
"Donna, I'm still watching it."
"Porn, at this time of the morning Josh!!" Sam said standing in the doorway.
Josh jumped from his seat and fumbled with the remote control, dropped it and smacked the tv off.
"Sam, I thought you were Donna. Donna!!!!" He yelled.
"Porn??" You know you could get fired for watching that.
"It's not Porn as I was informed it's a sex ed tape that Donna got sent."
"Someone sent Donna Porn."
"It's not Porn." Donna's voice said behind him.
"Donna, I told you not to let anyone into the office." Josh said exasperated.
"I tried to signal to him not to go in but he just waved at me."
"I was waving hello." Sam said sounding hurt. "How was I to know he was watching porn?"
"It's not PORN!!!" Donna and Josh said together.
"OK!!"
"Have you watched it??" Donna asked
"Yes, well most of it and you are correct you could learn a lot from it. So what was the point of me watching it."
"The teacher that showed it in her class got fired."
"Why??" Josh asked and then regretted it.
"Cause it's porn!!" Sam said sarcastically.
"Sam Seabourne it is not porn and I think you should watch it too." Donna said hurt that they weren't taking this seriously
"To learn something??" He said
"No, because this teacher took it upon herself to show a class full of kids that sex isn't all fireworks and flower.."
"I never witnessed the fireworks.." Josh said
Donna drew him a look
"Josh take this seriously please, she stood up in front of a class and showed them what sex is really all about. That sex is something to be taken seriously, that you can get all kinds of STD's from having sex, that safe sex is better, protection is the key."
"It's Porn." Sam said
Donna hit him on the arm.
"Sam, watch the damn video, it's not all about people having sex. It's a documentary. It shows statistics on the STD's and unwanted pregnancy among teens." Josh said throwing the video at Sam.
"If Toby sees me watching this then I'll probably be working my last day today." He said leaving the office.
"Thank you." Donna said
"For what?"
"For watching it."
"I don't know what you expect me to do."
"This woman was fired because she taught something she believed in."
"Donna, I know it's not porn but when those fourteen year olds watched that in her class what do you think they went home and told their parents."
"I would say that they said they watched an educational video in class."
"Wrong, the fourteen year old boys would have went home and told their parents that they watched a porn movie in class, the girls I'm not quite sure about some might have went home and told their parents that they watched a porn movie others would have said nothing."
"But.."
"I know it's not porn, but think about it you're a parent and your kid comes home with this video. You jump on your bandwagon about how teachers should be teaching abstinence, that their kids shouldn't be exposed to this at such a young age."
"Yes, Joshua but they are exposed to it. They watch on TV every night, they watch movies with more sex and violence in them than I can remember when I was at school. They are confronted with it every time they open a magazine. They learn from the media why can't they teach it in school."
"Cause it's sex and to some extent it's still a Taboo subject. Christian rights are going to have a field day if they get a hold of. The President is going to have to comment on it and god knows if he sees that video…."
"Why is Sam watching Porn in his office??" CJ said coming into the office
"He's not watching Porn!!!" Donna said walking out to her desk.
CJ smiled at Josh as he sat down at his desk looking exhausted.
"Ok, so I get a telephone call saying that a teacher in Wisconsin has been fired from her job for showing a porn movie."
"It wasn't a Porn Movie." Josh said rubbing his eyes.
"Wait, you know about it." CJ said confused.
"Yeah, Donna's sister sent it to her and she gave it to me and now Sam is watching it."
"How did Donna's…"
"Her niece is in the class."
CJ sat in quiet contemplation for a minute.
"You guys are going to get your asses kicked for watching porn!" She sniggered.
"It's not PORN!!!! It's a very educational video."
"Ok, so when do I get to see it."
"Do you need too??"
"Of course. If I got a phone call about it I'm sure as hell going to get a question about it. I need to be prepared."
"Well, once Sam is done I guess you can get it but you have to be discrete cause it's kind of sensitive material and it'll be hard to stop people coming into your office so I would lock the door."
"Can you tell me why my deputy is watching Porn???" Toby said appearing at the door.
"HOW MANY TIMES?? IT'S NOT PORN!!!" Donna yelled from her desk.
She stormed off in the direction of the mess with three senior staffers watching her go.
"What's with her??" Toby asked
"Toby, apparently it's not a porn movie it's a sex education tape which a teacher in Wisconsin had made up to show to her charges that sex is not all about flowers and fireworks." CJ said.
"I wish it were porn." Toby said under his breath. CJ and Josh smiled at one another.
"How did Donna get a copy?" Toby asked.
"Her sister sent it too her, her niece is in the class."
"So?"
"So, Donna's sister thinks there has been an injustice done against this teacher and so does Donna."
"But the tape is basically porn material." CJ put in.
Josh sighed. "It's not Porn. You know I can see why Donna is pissed about everyone calling it porn. It's highly educational. It gives statistics of people with HIV, AIDS, and other STD's. It show statistics on teen pregnancy, some of the figures I didn't even know about. It shows that sex isn't all about losing your virginity."
"When did you lose yours??" CJ asked.
"HUH??"
"Sorry I was just thinking aloud. I really need to see this video."
"Why??" Toby asked.
"Cause a few of the students think that the teacher was wrongfully fired. They have mounted a sit in, in the school and are refusing to come out unless she is re-instated."
"You never told me that??" Josh said.
"Yeah well I got side tracked by all the porn."
"How does that affect us??" Toby asked growing impatient
"I'm glad you asked." CJ said triumphantly. "Apparently a fourteen year old girl said that her mom sent the video to the White House and that her aunt would get the president involved."
"Wait, Wait. Donna never told me that." Josh said getting up from this chair and walking towards the door he looked out towards Donna's desk to see if she had come back.
"So, what do I do about the press??"
"Tell them that we have the video and that we are having it looked at." Toby grumbled
"And if they ask who her aunt is and if she has the ear of the president?"
"The President will be involved if and when it's necessary."
"They're gonna want more than that."
"That's all they're getting CJ."
Toby got up and walked out of the office and back to his own leaving CJ and Josh looking at each other. Sex educational wasn't something that they wanted involved in right now. It was a touchy subject at the best of times but now that this video has materialised and it was known that the White House had a copy there was going to be trouble.
