The 40-Year-Old Suspended School Teacher

District officials in Fayette County, Kentucky, suspended high school Spanish teacher Fernando Del Pino for showing the R-rated movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin to students Monday.

The school policy on videos requires parental consent before an R-rated movie can be shown. But administrators were also upset about another small but salient point.

"The movie certainly wasn't in Spanish," said Lisa Deffendall, spokeswoman for Fayette County Public Schools.

For now, students will have to content themselves with watching this.
