Anyway, here's a clue. The bait is in Texas so unclean American blood can be spilled instead of clean Dutch blood. Wilders is not on your side. The guys that want to shoot him are not on your side either.
Were the sexual comments directed towards the person in the article?
Does it matter? It was probably enough to potentially drive kids away as the author is suggesting.
Is this an individual teenager complaining
The incident appears to have happened so we don't need a statistically significant number of complaints, just that it happened is enough for it to be used as an example to illustrate a point as is done in the article.
What facts exist that point to the Lena image being the exclusive cause of the "boys' sexual comments?"
The chain is events is pretty obvious, whether other incidents are going to happen or not this one was caused by a preventable fuckup by a teacher and the author then took steps to try to prevent it happening again.
The whole thing is written by a teen
Which is why some of the attacks on her by posters other than yourself are deplorable. Young or not, she's getting hassles in a computer class that have nothing to do with the subject and I think she has a point with the source of it. Maybe think of it like a missing bit of railing on a platform - an obvious accident waiting to happen, easy to fix, so why not fix it?
and the choice of Lena's image in particular
The problem is the teacher asking the students to search for it instead of merely providing the image which would be the professional thing to do. Allowing teenage boys to find the source and then bully other kids based on the baggage associated with Playboy is the unprofessional thing to do IMHO. I had enough trouble with first year engineering boys bullying the few girls in my classes so I think I can imagine what high school boys would be like in this situation.
It's a pity this issue has been blown so far out of proportion to be a "Friday night fight" about women in IT and engineering.

From the article:
I tried to tune out the boys’ sexual comments.
This whole thing is just an example to illustrate the problem of girls getting a hard time in class, so while discussions about the place of nudity in society may be interesting they have little or nothing to do with TFA.
It can be expected, but it still doesn't make it justified or acceptable
I wrote as much way above in my first post did I not? It's indefensible.
Muslims and Arabs and Africans are free to practice their unique ways in their own countries. There is simply no reason for those people to be in Europe
Consider those words and then consider the vast majority of migrants to the colonies in America. The entire place was based on being able to run things differently to the way the Catholic and English churches wanted people to run their lives.
Saying that doesn't make it true, and it isn't
So I'm lying terrorist scum now am I?
By saying that they shouldn't have done what they did, you are blaming the victim.
How simplisticly stupid. See basic road safety for kids if you want to see how easily your accusation breaks down.
I am in no way defending either the loud xenophobic fascist Wilders or anyone that wants to take a shot at him.
Guess how you did in the test? I don't know whether it's attention span that let you down, but for some reason you've been arguing with a strawman all this time despite the obvious signpost above.
Recalibrate. I'm sure you're not a stupid or bad person... just, recalibrate.
Rather arrogant, especially when you didn't even pay attention to what my view on the topic is!
With that level of pedantry you must be quite a hit with the [your preferred gender].
What is the proper term for a female furry equipped with a penis?
Well, just so you know... I visited Guangzhou last week, and left there at roughly EOB on 30 April.
Put that little logical capsule in your Nespresso and see what gets poured into your mug.
I have mod points, but Slashdot has no "-1, Full Retard", so I'm posting instead.
It's quite simple. "Deliberate pissing on beliefs" is generally good when the beliefs are crap
You should note that the belief you say is crap is the belief of not worshipping idols - one which you probably share. In my mind the crap is the extremes it gets taken to and how they react about it (eg. murder).
Good job in blowing a molehill of a post that was really about deliberately poking the bear into a mountain over other stuff because apparently it wasn't interesting enough. The personal attack with "You need to get your... *something* re-calibrated" is a nice touch.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
