Wando Teacher in Hot Water for Showing Lewd Video in Class

UPDATE: Christopher Poston was terminated Wednesday. Read more here.

UPDATE (2-29-12): School system officials will have a decision on the Poston incident soon.

A Wando High School teacher is on administrative leave after he reportedly broadcast scenes from a lewd movie to a group of high-school students.

Christopher Derek Poston, 36, is on leave while the school system and police investigate the matter, according to Charleston County Schools spokesman Jason Sakran.

The case stems from a Feb. 14 incident in which Poston, who was filling in for another teacher in a Latin class, watched the movie "Jackass 2" on his laptop while students worked at their desks, according to a Mount Pleasant Police report.

When the kids asked the teacher what he was watching on his computer, Poston displayed the video on a large projection screen for the entire class to view.

The "Jackass" series of TV shows and movies feature actors performing dangerous and sometimes lewd acts in a variety of situations. The movies are rate R for "extremely crude and dangerous stunts throughout, sexual content, nudity and language."

Apparently Poston showed students a scene where one of the actors wears a sock puppet on his genitalia and then is struck by a poisonous snake, according to the police report. The video leaves little to the imagination.

Warning: This video is graphic and may be offensive.

When parents began reporting the behavior to Wando administrators, Poston wrote a statement to the school accepting blame for his "inexcusable" actions, the police report states. Principal Lucy Beckham reported the incident to police.

Poston apparently showed several minutes of the "Jackass" movie and then turned it off when a computer technician entered the classromroom. He then put the movie back on the screen when the technician left the room. 

Poston also launched a PowerPoint projection with photos from the website, "People of Walmart," which pokes fun at oddly dressed Walmart patrons. He told school officials the website taught lessons on the consequences of violating social norms, the police report states.

School system officials would only confirm there was an investigation and referred further questions to Mount Pleasant Police. It wasn't clear Friday afternoon if criminal charges were pending.

Poston is a 1994 Wando graduate and Citadel alum, according to his Facebook page.
