LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A physical education teacher at Carthay Center Elementary School outraged parents and upset students when he stripped naked on campus Friday and proceeded to chase nearby second-graders and fifth-graders.

“He was supposed to be helping them learn P.E., run around and have fun,” one parent told CBS2’s Adrianna Weingold. “But he undressed and started chasing the kids while he was naked, and then the kids ducked and dodged, ran into some of the classrooms and got safe haven that way.”

A video taken by a construction worker passing by the scene captured the unidentified teacher putting his pants back on in the middle of the playground.

Parents were notified of the incident via robocall as well as a letter that was sent home with students.

“An individual began behaving in an unusual way, prompting us to contact law enforcement,” the letter reads in part. “As a safety precaution, our school went on a brief lock-down while officers responded and took the individual into custody.”

“All of the kids saw his private parts. Very embarrassing, very upset,” said one parent.

LAUSD officials told CBSLA the man was a contracted employee who works for the district’s Star Education Program.

Mental health counselors were made available to the children following the incident.

School police say they are continuing to investigate the man and are working on a case against him.

(A previous version of this story inaccurately referenced the teacher as a Los Angeles Unified teacher.)

    Of course this happened in Los Angeles. Where else, maybe San Francisco?

    1. dt60093 says:

      I am surprised it was not in Florida.

    2. Jeffrey Olin says:

      It could have happened in Lyndhurst, Ohio, Home of Absolutely Nothing of Note But Judgmental Jerks.

      1. Andrew Moore says:

        I can’t believe you mentioned Lyndhurst, Ohio. I lived there as a little kid, for a few years. Guess I’m not missing much.

    3. I too would have to go with Florida.

  2. David Alster says:

    Drugs, PCP, Crack, Meth. Drug culture.

    1. Just your typical “Open minded” progressive liberal. No doubt the teachers union is mounting his legal defense right now.

  3. J.D. Johnson says:

    If I saw Hillary running around naked, I’d need counseling.

    1. Thanks Bud. Didn’t want that pizza anyway.

    2. Bill Smith says:

      If I saw Hillary Clinton running around even WITH her clothes on… I’d need counseling.

    3. Thomas Jude says:

      oh lordy, that would be something you couldn’t unsee

    4. I had a nightmare once that I had a roll in the hay with HRC. When we were finished I was so disgusted that I committed suicide. As a result my ‘dream-self’ doesn’t appear in any of the dreams I have anymore.

    5. IMPOSSIBLE! Hillary Clinton is incapable of running. However, I am still in counseling just from seeing her spit up those alien eggs into her water last year. Everyone has their limits.

  4. People tell me kids are in danger if they are home schooled. All the pervs are in public schools now. Teachers teaching men are women and women are men and you can have pleasure when you are 6 yo. Does anyone remember NAMBLA? Now they are teachers in school.

  5. CNN’s Chris Cuomo says that any school girl upset at the sight has intolerant parents.

  6. I’m sure the school will blame a lack of funding as the reason for the man’s behavior

  7. Carl Mayo says:

    los angeles… that says it all. the west coast is a sewer.

    1. Vance Porter says:

      And every day it becomes worse.

  8. BRAIN STEW says:

    Nice fun bags on that reporter.

  9. Jim Fuss says:

    New type of P/E -nut sack dodge ball

  10. Are you sure it was a Male? Perhaps he identified as a Female? lol

  11. Can’t see his face but looks like either Kevin Spacey or OJ Simpson!

  12. But I thought only white males were crazy? wow, I guess this breaks the main stream media stereotype huh?

  13. Howard Hyman says:

    The stripper will not be prosecuted HE IS BLACK!

  14. It was just an advanced sex ed class.

    Only in CA.

  15. Jimmie Meeks says:

    Lowered standards for teachers, plus affirmative action, then add a little liberalism = Teacher Strips Naked On Elementary School Playground.

  16. skane1014 says:

    This incident shows the depths to which the California schools have descended. This person was actually hired as a teacher by the L.A. school system. Disgusting!

  17. adrianvance says:

    Having worked for LAUSD I can understand this….

  18. Aaron Holmes says:

    Just think of all the money the county saved by not having to teach sex ed. to these kids.(sarc)

  19. Rycic Granul says:

    I guess in left wing areas it’s very difficult to find enough sane people to work as school employees. There’s so few to choose from.

  20. Los Angeles, California is turning into a giant cesspool. Used to be the Golden State.

  21. Let me guess: a Hillary voter?

  22. Ike Leland says:

    As a parent I’d teach my kids to laugh at this. No way I’d teach them to be offended. Point and laugh…(while on their phone calling me). What a fruitcake. I feel for him however. Sometimes kids make you want to strip and run around naked. (figuratively not literally)

  23. i knew when i clicked that it was going to be California…sick people, sick state…

  24. Could I hazard a guess as to his sexual orientation? I know, I know — we shouldn’t ask about that.

  25. why do black men do this? I’ve read so many stories of black men getting naked and running around.

    1. Wearing clothes doesn’t come naturally to them. They really shouldn’t be expected to live in civilized societies; they’re just no good at it.

  26. Tom Reiber says:

    One word. “Diversity!”
    Marxists have made it the most disgusting word in the English language, right next to “Progressive”.
    This is what you “Diversity” advocates get and deserve!

  27. He was chased into the music room where he was eventually caught by the organ.

  28. This was his opening event to run as a democrat in the upcoming election. He was trying to show that man-made global warming was really bad and the only way to survive was to strip his clothes off.

  29. bdnsc says:

    Must’ve eaten his pot brownie fro breakfast instead of lunch.
    Not to worry though, the kids said they had seen the same thing in Target Store bathrooms!

  30. “Mental health counselors were made available to the children following the incident.”

    Well I hope to God they were made available to the nude psycho as well.

  31. Nothing a good guy with a gun couldn’t have stopped.

  32. Gary O'Neal says:

    Too bad that tsunami warning turned out to be a false alarm. Huge waves scouring LA from the face of the earth would be a very, very, very good thing.

  33. Phil Davison says:

    Nothing, absolutely NOTHING surprises me from Californication.

  34. “All of the kids saw his private parts. Very embarrassing, very upset,” said one parent.”

    Seriously? Your kids have no private parts? Cry me a river!

  35. Alan Gardner says:

    They STILL have PE in grade school??????

  36. Russ Agrusa says:

    IN most of the country we call this sick and depraved behavior that should not only result in loss of job but jail time … in California they call it Monday.

  37. Frank Muller says:

    The ancient Greeks use to exercise naked in their gymnasiums. It was no big deal.

    1. Mark Ginsel says:

      Why is it when these people loose their marbles they always have to get nekkid??

  38. Paul King says:

    The quota system strikes again. Bring back the merit system.

  39. Love the public school system. Just love it. Making our children as dumb and bricks and now afraid of marauding nude teachers. Love it.

  40. Our educational system is infected with clowns like this…it is CA!

  41. Errrrrr …… he’s a Negro. He’s a USA Negro. Leave him alone, please. It’s part of his culture.

    1. This is racist reporting, why are they picking on the colored guy? Don’t they know he is being groomed to be a school administrator one day?

  42. Liberal Democrats are like that, they’ll do and say anything to scare the children.

  43. Rob Lynn says:

    Naked black lunatic chasing small children = rope and tree.

  44. Dave Gardner says:

    The Peoples Democratic Socialist Repūbic of Kalifornication and this is a suprise HOW?

  45. One of them. It figures. They just can not integrate into society, regardless of how many avenues are opened for them.

  46. Gary Canant says:

    EXTREME COURT WORTHY EVIDENCE!
    “Impossible to extract jungle out of an ape”

  47. Doug Day says:

    …and the counselors were also contract employees.

  48. Mark Walsh says:

    why are all of you bigots complaining about this diverse society free of hate experiencing a multicultural event?

  49. If it had been a Catholic priest, it would be front page news everywhere. But, because the media is liberal, and most of the teachers are liberals, it won’t go beyond a one-day story.

  50. Ken Dees says:

    Obviously, you folks who are condemning this black man for chasing white kids with no underpants on are intolerant racist (Russian) fascists who voted for Trump.

    I kid, no pun intended….

  51. Robert Blum says:

    Nothing to see here . . . Move along . . . Move along.

  52. Steve Riley says:

    Don’t worry. After ‘union mediation’ he’ll get his job back.

  53. “All of the kids saw his private parts. Very embarrassing, very upset,” said one parent.

    Seeing a naked human isn’t going to traumatize a child in any way but seeing a person behaving in an unsociable or erratic way can have kids asking “what happened? did I do anything wrong?” So, assuring them this guy is just a liberal who was triggered by not having safe space and coloring books would usually do the trick to calm them down. “Oh, this grown up is a child like us.”

    Hope they get him help and I hope he is never allowed to be around children again.

  54. Lilith Whyte says:

    The Afric-un-American teacher was simply demonstrating a native dance. It was a cultural event.

  55. Ted Hampton says:

    Maybe he had to go and was running for the gender neutral bathroom?

  56. This was a new experience, some of those kids have never ran before.

  57. northernsentinel says:

    Countdown to Chris Cuomo justifying this and blaming the parents for teaching their children to be intolerant.

  58. LAPD: Drop him off at Kevin Spacey’s house! Case closed.

  59. Greg Harris says:

    After he bonded out, he went back to work at the Statehouse in Sacramento.

  60. Fiala L says:

    LAUSD, huh? Sounds like a perfect candidate for paid leave for the rest of his life….at taxpayer expense of course.

  61. Steven Reiss says:

    The kids need mental health counselors? What about the teacher?

  62. If you have a problem with your children seeing a grown mans genitals then you are a hateful bigot according to Chris Cuomo. so I hope all you hateful bigots are happy with yourselves… I KNOW I AM! LOL

  63. Peter York says:

    aren’t we a funny bunch? everyone on earth has seen the male Janet Alia, but somehow the display of such brings on peals of horror.

    anyway, if the teacher’s conservative his mind has broken down trying to function in Cloud-Cuckoo Land…

    …and if liberal he’s simply making his own reality.

    further, as a retired teacher of the first type, I’ll posit that soon naked teacher pursuit becomes a ‘nurturing and palliative activity allowing the students to develop strategies for unpacking content.’

    anyway, this episode should be a metaphor for the entire public edjimication fraud.

  64. I love how everyone says this is a Los Angeles/Liberal thing…while in Alabama another brother and sister hook up at the candlelight vigil for Taco Bell.

  65. They could probably start by actually requiring a teaching degree to get on campus, not just hiring Mr. Free-junk; the spice, meth and pcp dealer.

  66. Why would the children need counseling because they saw a naked man? I can understand the children being chased by a naked man might be frightening. Council them for that.

  67. All you playa haters is racist
