LOS ANGELES(AFP) - A California maths teacher is in hot water after getting caught browsing through lingerie websites that he accidentally projected onto a screen while his students took a test.

School officials at Mira Mesa High School in San Diego said this week the teacher had been suspended and would not discuss the case further as it was a personnel issue.

Several students recorded the incident on their phones and posted the videos online, prompting school officials to notify the parents and place the teacher, who is also a track coach, on leave.
