Principal John C. Scudder claims on the site it was “an altered version”, and that “the reports, blogs and other sources on the Internet indicating that a Big Spring student was assigned detention for using the Firefox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer are untrue and were based on the fake letter”.

So I’m guessing the student exchanged the word ‘porn’ for ‘Firefox’, then?
