Glimpse of porn in class leads teacher to resign
School sure has changed since I went...
ST. CHARLES COUNTY ? Students thought they were going to see a tape about volcanoes, instead they got a glimpse of porn.
And those few seconds of pornography on videotape apparently led to an Orchard Farm High School science teacher's resignation.
The district's school board accepted the resignation of Tiffany Kalabus, a biology, earth and physical science teacher, in an emergency closed session Thursday. That same day, a letter signed by high school Principal Timothy McInnis was sent to parents of students in a physical science class.
The letter said a substitute teacher on Wednesday read the day's lesson plan and started to show students what was supposed to be an instructional video about volcanoes.
"When the videotape began to play, pornographic video images appeared on the screen," the letter said. "The substitute teacher promptly shielded the screen away from the students and immediately stopped the tape.
"Although students were exposed to inappropriate material for approximately 15 seconds, this event demonstrated a profound error in judgment on the part of the regular classroom teacher."
