A Nevada substitute teacher has been accused of encouraging two sixth graders to kiss and making “inappropriate” comments — including asking the class if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Parents of students at Legacy Traditional School, a charter school in North Las Vegas, were reportedly appalled to learn about the teacher’s remarks, which they received an email about on Thursday — two days after the shocking incident took place.

“Who asks a sixth-grade student, ‘Who has a boyfriend and a girlfriend?’ Really, the kids are not here for that. They’re here to learn,” Anais Gallegos, who has two children in the school, told the outlet on Friday.
“What my daughter was telling me, no, that’s not okay,” Gallegos said. “The principal needs to do something because just a simple email is not going to cut it.”
Robynn Bell’s son, who was also a student in the class, said all of the students felt uncomfortable by the substitute teacher’s actions.
Bell also slammed the school for waiting two days to warn parents of what happened, saying that some parents missed an opportunity to discuss the incident with their children just after it took place because they didn’t know it happened.

Legacy Traditional said in a statement that it has notified the North Las Vegas Police Department about the incident.
“After school, it came to our attention that the substitute teacher, supplied to us by an external substitute teacher agency, made inappropriate comments towards students. The substitute teacher was not a Legacy Traditional Schools employee and will not return to a Legacy campus,” the school said in a statement.
The substitute agency is conducting its own investigation into the incident, according to the statement.
“At Legacy Traditional Schools, we maintain a strict no-tolerance policy towards any form of
inappropriate conduct. The well-being of our students remains our paramount priority, and we
recognize the importance of fostering a safe, inclusive, and nurturing school environment,” the school added.
