Reason 445 to HomeSchool: Teacher Won’t Show Torture Porn to Your Kids
Forrest Martin’s career as a teacher came to a screeching halt on Monday. During his photography class, he passed out assignments and then kicked his feet up on his desk, opened his laptop and drooled over videos of women being tortured and raped. But Oopsie! He forgot to disconnect the projector cable. His students were horrified at how creepy their teacher was. Forrest Martin quit his job before he could be fired.

Phoenix police are investigating a Phoenix photography teacher, Forrest Martin, after some high school students reported that he played pornographic videos during class. According to a letter Arcadia High School sent home to parents, the incident happened Monday. The letter reads, “13 students were inadvertently shown material inappropriate for the classroom by their teacher.”
The teenage students said they saw were six video clips of what one student described as “torture porn, of like girls being tied up.”
The teacher had connected his personal computer to a projector screen for a photography lesson. That’s when students said the teacher began viewing the videos.
“He forgot the projector screen was turned on and he started watching porn and we were all just like sitting there shocked that he was watching this in front of the class.”
Students said they did try to signal the teacher but he never looked up from his computer. “He was just all into it, I don’t even think he was paying attention to us, he was just all in his computer. We were making comments like ‘Wow, what is he watching?’ and that kind of stuff but I think he was too into it to even notice.”
Most students said they weren’t offended as much as they were unnerved by the incident.
“I was just creeped out that a teacher that I have known from the beginning of the year could have been watching this the whole time we were in class. That’s just gross; he’ll watch it in front of kids in that school when he’s supposed to be teaching.”
Some students wondered how many times the teacher may have view pornography before without them knowing.
