A Texas school district apologized after a high school posted an image offering “self-love” advice that said using sex toys could help one overcome anxiety.
The Emerson High School counselors Instagram account shared the image, which was actually an advertisement for a vibrator, before later deleting it and claiming the account was hacked.

The post told potential customers that “toys can help you overcome sexual anxiety,” while another part said to “explore until you find something that works for you.”
On Tuesday, the Frisco Independent School District apologized for the account’s post, saying that the staff member in charge of the account did not actually read the text of the image and thought it was simply “about self care.”
“When the staff member realized their mistake, they removed the post and posted that the account had been hacked,” the district said in a Facebook post. “When district and campus administrators learned that was not true, the entire account was disabled.”

“We sincerely apologize for resharing the inaccurate post,” the district continued. “We were attempting to respond quickly with what we believed to be true information. In the future, we will verify such posts from other District accounts prior to resharing them.”
