An elementary school teacher who appeared in a pornographic gay video was suspended without pay by the Broward School Board on Tuesday, beginning a multistep process to fire him.

But Anthony Vanchieri, who taught physical education at Coconut Creek Elementary, plans to appeal -- which puts the firing on hold, said his attorney Steve Rossi.

School Board members said little before voting unanimously to support the administration's recommendation to fire him.

The administration's petition stated, "Undoubtably, Respondent's actions have publicly disgraced the education profession as a whole, and violated School Board policies."

Homeschooling *bump*

More efforts need to be made to safeguard our kids from deviant creeps like this man.

Oops, sorry! Didn't realize this had already been posted. My bad.

He never even touched the kids, why didn't they just transfer him to another school where no one would know of his perversion?

I wonder how the critics would react if it was suggested that a heterosexual porn star be hired to teach Math. My guess is that they wouldn't even consider it.

Oh, let me help you with that jock strap.

He'll easily get re-hired elsewhere, because he'll threaten a lawsuit if they give him a bad recommendation. In our society, seems it's just too PC to try to protect ourselves and our children from freaks, sickos, or even murderers.

[anniegetyourgun]

That's UN-PC.

So, which parent saw this video and brought it to the attention of the school board? ;)

Like the other teacher?
and reassigned to teach adult education classes in the county jail.

Oh yeh, he might enjoy that teaching job.

"Suspended"? I thought he was bucking for a promotion. Isn't that what the NEA is all about...promoting homosexuality?

"I believe that everyone has a right to a personal lifestyle," the Fort Lauderdale High junior said. "But how do you know this won't lead to something else? Allowing teachers like this in our school system is not a good thing. ... There is no room for stuff like this."

There's hope for the younger generation yet. They seem to understand something that most baby boomers dismiss out of hand: Character Counts.

Fire the pervert.

I won't say it. It's too obvious. I simply can't bring myself to type the joke that's in my mind, but this has got to be the setup line of the day!

Actual title: Board backs firing teacher

If this had happened in California he'd be made principal.

Sorry 'bout that, should have added "My Title" to the post title.

Forgive me, it's my first day.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He will be rehired and given a Nickelodeon special.

A high percentage of male elementary school teachers are gay and likely pedophiles.

Men should be banned from teaching at elementary schools.

Too bad he wasn't "suspended" by the neck.

I had 2 different teachers that had appeared in Playboy, one in the early 60s, one in the early 80s.
