A substitute teacher was captured on video by a student when he was apparently looking to buy sex toys on his computer screen and mistakenly projected it on the blackboard, at a school in Long Island (NY), on Tuesday.
Footage obtained by the New York Post shows a Valley Stream South High School teacher sitting at his desk behind a computer, while that a projection screen in front of the class shows a series of sex toys, in what appears to be an online store.
The video was recorded from a student’s desk. Students can be heard laughing, with one muttering, “Oh my God.” The substitute teacher did not appear to be aware of the error at the time.
A spokesperson for the Valley Stream Central High School District said yesterday that, following the incident, the substitute teacher had been removed from the regional list and would no longer be teaching at any school in the district. .
“I am appalled by the action taken by this substitute teacher, but I can assure you that the district and I have taken this matter very seriously and action has been taken,” the Valley Stream principal wrote. South, Maureen Henry, in an email sent to parents and members of the school community. “All of the students in that class had the opportunity to speak with their guidance counselor to discuss their concerns,” he added.
