Could you explain how this is related? The original article in the Aiken Standard (linked to from from the OP's Forbes article above) mentions three "books," and specifically mentions Card's Ender's Game as being one of them. That Standard article in turn points to a press release from the previous day, also mentions three books and "swear words." Nothing in either article seems to hint at the explicit, graphic sexual content in your link above, dated ten days before the press release in the Standard, and describing material as "pornographic material, from the Internet," not "three books."

  The link is to the actual police report, which the parent filed with police in addition to complaining to the school. Amazing how far off the article is...

  That's the whole point. Ender's Game has little to do with why the teacher was suspended, and the original article was wrong, as well. The original article was posted on /r/scifi a few days ago, and was pretty quickly debunked by the police report.

    The school district's press release still only mentions the books, not the downloaded material. I wonder if that means "we're going to fire him because he circumvented our process by bringing in books he didn't clear first, so that we don't have to publicly discuss the fact that he may have been reading more salacious material to students as well."
