A Texas high school teacher has been fired and faces up to a year in jail for allegedly screening porn on a projector during class, according to reports.
Kevin Welchel was watching porn on a laptop in Houston’s Klein Collins High School when it started showing on the classroom projector, seemingly by accident, the Houston Chronicle said.
“The individual was immediately removed and is no longer employed by the district,” district spokesperson Justin Elbert told the paper.
“The district does not tolerate such completely unacceptable conduct.”
In addition to losing his job, Welchel was criminally charged with “display of harmful material to a minor, ” a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000, the district told the paper.
