A Horace Mann Middle School teacher who reportedly showed a sixth-grade class pornography has been placed on leave while the allegations are investigated, a school district representative confirmed Thursday.
The instructor, whose name has not been made public, allegedly displayed the graphic images — a video of a man and woman having sex — during a physical-education class at the El Cerrito-area campus.
Maureen Magee, spokeswoman for San Diego Unified School District, said SDUSD officials were “aware of the allegations,” first reported by 10News, and were looking into them.
Magee said district personnel policies prohibited her from commenting on any particulars of the case, except to say that the teacher in question has not been arrested.
School officials were notified about the alleged incident on Monday, the news station reported.
