POINCIANA, Fla. -- A local teacher is about to lose his job, because the school says he showed some suggestive material in his classroom. Parents and students are fighting for the teacher and his career.

The teacher from New Dimensions Charter School in Poinciana has used a movie as a teaching tool in his government class for years, but this time the tape rolled a little too long. What came next was enough for the school to want him gone.

It's not uncommon for teachers to use visual aides in the classroom. In this case, teacher Stephen Hughes left a videotape of a Supreme Court drama for a substitute teacher. It was appropriate content for a law studies class. But after the movie, at the end of the tape, a fuzzy image of another movie appeared that showed too much skin.

Hughes loves using movies in class and kids love it, too.

"Mr. Hughes is a great teacher. He's awesome," commented student Rachel Hudson.

Hughes uses the videos as a teaching tool. But Thursday, Hughes may be fired and he says he's only been told about the questionable scene.

"After it's over, or at the end, cutting into it, somehow, is something fuzzy or scrambled, but something of some kind of sexual content," Hughes said.

"Towards the end of the film, it was like a part from a movie, kissing, nothing serious, you know," said student Jennifer Ramirez.

Ramirez saw the snowy image and compared it to a steamy love scene. "And MTV, you see worse stuff. So it was like, what's the big deal?" Ramirez said.

But school officials, who wouldn't talk on camera, used a tougher term: pornography. Channel 9 asked to see the tape, but was told it's already with state investigators in Tallahassee.

Hughes says he thinks he's being targeted because administrators just don't like him

"I think they've found their loophole, their cheap excuse in order to terminate me," Hughes said.

Parents and students don't want to see him go. They plan to protest his termination at a meeting Thursday night.

The Department of Education is reviewing the tape and Hughes could lose his teaching certificate. And, even if the images are not pornography, it's still against state rules for teachers to make their own videotape for use in the classroom, although many teachers do it.
