Kentucky- A Lexington, Ky., high school Spanish teacher was suspended with pay last month while the district probed allegations he showed the R-rated comedy “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” to his students, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

“The movie certainly wasn’t in Spanish,” Fayette County Public Schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall told the paper.

In the film, Steve Carell plays a 40-year-old single virgin named Andy whose friends try to help him gain sexual experience. The film earned an R rating for depicting drug use and pervasive, explicit and crude sexual content.

Deffendall told the Herald-Leader a complaint was reported to the district Jan. 24, the same day a letter was issued saying the professor’s suspension was for up to 20 days while the incident was probed.

Deffendall didn’t say whether a parent or student at Tates Creek High School made the complaint against the teacher, Fernando Del Pino.

But it wasn’t hard to find parents outraged by the unwanted sex ed shown to kids – many of them freshmen.

“My concern is … why is the Spanish teacher showing that kind of movie instead of teaching Spanish?” parent Steve Kundick told the Herald-Leader.

Kundick told the paper he hasn’t watched the film, but was told “it is on the border of insanity to have that in the classroom.”

One parent said he viewed the movie after hearing it was shown at the school – and was appalled in the first 30 minutes.

“It doesn’t have to do with policy on movies; it is common sense,” Rick Redmon told the Herald-Leader after his viewing.

Tates Creek 10th-grader Daynah Mansour said she met Del Pino when he substituted for her French teacher.

“I know that he is a good teacher, and I know that he would not risk his career over something like this if he knew that it would,” she told the Herald-Leader.
