An unnamed teacher has been arrested in Orange County, California, after bodily fluids were allegedly found in flutes that were handed out to students in class, from elementary school upwards.

In emails sent to parents of students Friday afternoon, Sept. 29, district officials notified them there was an investigation regarding flutes given to students — as young as elementary-school age — by an individual who is also being investigated.

The flutes were made of PVC plastic piping and a single wine cork and had an exterior that could be decorated, district officials said. The individual… worked at multiple schools districts in Southern California.

    Sick and disgusting beyond words

    On this day all the tuba players in the world are smiling because they know that no one will ask them “don’t you wish you played piccolo”?

    Sickening.

  • Robert Holmén says:

    They can do DNA testing to find who dunnit.

    They can find who dunnit by DNA testing. A burglar over in the States got done after he used the lav and did not clean the brush afterwards. Fancy that.

  • St Patrick's Horse says:

    DNA testing could potentially identify who dunnit, if a match were established on a NCIS database. Already this has happened in the US.
