HOUSTON – A Klein Collins High School teacher has been fired after accidentally displaying pornography in a classroom, district officials have confirmed.
The teacher has been identified as Kevin Welchel. He is facing a charge for the display of harmful material to a minor.
Many parents couldn’t believe the news while others said Welchel was a good teacher.
“That is something that is very, very unprofessional. Something that is very inappropriate. Something that should not have happened,” one parent said.
“He was an excellent teacher and our children loved him so it’s really unfortunate that this happened, and hopefully, somehow it will work itself out,” one parent said.
KPRC 2 reached out to the Klein Independent School District after receiving a tip from a viewer.
The viewer reported that a teacher was watching a video of the adult content on a school laptop and somehow it ended up showing on a projector during class time.
