NH Teacher Accused Of Playing Kissing Game With Students
PORTSMOUTH, NH (CBS) – A federal report into a lengthy investigation of sexual harassment by a teacher at Portsmouth High School has been released.
The investigation began after a parent, who wants to remain anonymous, complained that teacher Joe Arnstein was showing R-rated movies in Spanish class.
“There was significant nudity and sexual content to the point that it would be considered soft-core pornography,” said the parent. “And it had no place in a classroom with 14-year-old children.”
According to the report by the United States Department of Education Office For Civil Rights, Arnstein told officials he was hoping to encourage student engagement in class.
He was also accused of playing a vocabulary game in which students who answered correctly could receive a coin or kiss him on the cheek.
“I can’t even imagine how any adult could even think this was a proper game,” said the parent, who is considering filing a lawsuit against the district.
His attorney, Jay Nadeau, tells WBZ-TV he has filed a notice with the school district indicating legal action is being considered.
The report faults the teacher for “sexual conduct” and the school for failing to thoroughly investigate the behavior.
