A Fort Bend, Texas teacher got the smack down last week after a tipster alleged he appeared in over fifty gay, wrestling-themed videos.
It all started on September 7th, when anonymous source emailed the Sugar Land Clements High School as well as a number of news sources claiming that the unnamed educator had been supplementing his income with a little x-rated action.
The teacher, for his part, denies the claims, writing to KHOU: “I cannot believe what I am reading and neither should anyone else. I take this very seriously and deny the validity of this supposed tip.”
Although an investigation did not verify that the actor and the teacher are, in fact, the same person, the teacher has reportedly resigned from his duties. It’s unfortunate, because, as a local reporter notes, “[t]he pictures and videos do not appear to be illegal and we did not find anything in department policy that specifically forbids the teacher’s actions.”

Unfortunately, whether the teacher appeared in the videos or not, his alleged association with this activity would have resulted in his termination. I’m sure the “word” of the videos would have spread through his school like wildfire. He would have lost the ability to manage his classroom and perform his duties as an educator. There would have been parent complaints and ridicule to contend with, especially if this was a small town. As a teacher, you live in a fishbowl and anything you do or say can have an adverse effect on your career. And besides, in the minds of way too many Americans, especially in the south, homosexual=pedophile.

And let’s not forget, Fort Bend County used to be Tom DeLay’s stomping ground…
