A teacher in Texas is on administrative leave and facing termination after she told students to call pedophiles 'minor attracted persons' in an incident that was captured on video and shared on social media, according to the city's school district.

"We're not gonna call them that," the teacher is heard saying in the video."We're gonna call them MAPs, minor attracted persons. So don't judge people just because they wanna have sex with a 5-year-old." The school district was made aware of the incident early last week and promptly launched an investigation, spokesperson Liza Rodriguez said Friday.
The Board of trustees voted unanimously to initiate termination procedures against the teacher, with the next step being"an appeals process governed by the Texas Education Code," Al Velarde, president of the board, said. The teacher is now on paid administrative leave pending termination, according to Rodriguez.
"Initially I was shocked and horrified when I saw the video," he told NBC News."Then when I heard that she was trying to be sarcastic, I felt bad for her. However, when the district's investigation into this situation helped me understand the full story, I have no doubt that terminating this teacher is the right thing to do. Any reasonable person that heard the results of the investigation would vote to terminate her.
