A Bradenton, Florida high school teacher who fought for over seven months to get his job back, lost his tenure Monday evening, over the use of inappropriate language on his Facebook page to which his students had access.
Braden River High School suspended drama teacher Charles Willis without pay since last October, after he used inappropriate images, discussed drinking alcohol, and used profanity through acronyms on his Facebook page.
District officials deemed one item that stood out as most offensive on the teacher’s page was a pornographic picture titled “Accidental Porn,” according to an article on Bradenton.com
The 43-year-old teacher who has been in the Manatee school district for over ten years is said to have friended about 120 students at the high school.
