They were fired after bringing a karaoke machine to class.

They belted out Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and another song, assumed to be a Lady Gaga hit.

[{"selector":"#anim-babc0c38-f926-4b89-bcdc-2806350a1187","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-862c18c5-af91-4493-8853-3d90fc13a922","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5cfce925-9464-407a-b04b-b787a5c5869f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They were immediately let go after first period.

[{"selector":"#anim-37792bbf-4ca1-4104-b767-d1c4b3383811","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f011d1f-e7af-448e-9f72-8e85f81b720f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d2743fe-1fa3-4392-bc96-684cb5d09b40","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This happened at the Bowie High School in Austin, Texas on Friday.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8583d7e-8d8a-4d49-b689-c955f9a75929","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-222e3c35-f62c-4362-b470-6d85874b9624","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3dbd2862-6d83-49b3-8bac-809c663d1cfd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A student recorded the bizarre performance and posted it online.

One rumor alleged that the teacher was arrested; the district says this is false.

They say the teacher was let go because karaoke performances are not “following best practices.”

[{"selector":"#anim-1d541369-8351-4faf-b195-6dd8cc3d4235","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-90229c63-2af1-404c-9759-96eda01960ea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f980ec7b-7434-475d-9145-1afd5433f329","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apparently, the substitute is already working at another high school, most likely without his karaoke machine.
