The classroom was abuzz.
A substitute teacher on Long Island aroused concern when she was captured on video appearing to browse sex toys during class.
A video obtained by The Post shows a teacher at Valley Stream South High School sitting at her desk behind a computer, while a projector screen at the front of the class shows a series of sex toys on what appears to be an online store.
The video was shot from a student’s desk. Students can be heard muffling laughs, and one mutters, “Oh my God.”
Meanwhile, the lecture, about Garett Morgan, inventor of the traffic light, continues to play unabated.
It is unclear if the substitute teacher was aware of the gaffe.
A Valley Stream Central High School District spokesman said Wednesday that, following the incident, the substitute teacher had been removed from the district’s roster and would no longer be teaching at any district schools.
“I am dismayed by the action taken by this substitute teacher, but can assure you that I and the district have taken this matter very seriously and action has been taken,” Valley Stream South Principal Maureen Henry wrote in an email sent to parents and members of the school community.
The incident happened while the teacher was lecturing seniors at Valley Stream South High School. Courtesy of Google Maps“Please know that all students in that class were given an opportunity to speak with their guidance counselor today to discuss their concerns,” she added.
