Story summary

A B.C. high school teacher named Ho has received a two-week suspension from the Richmond School District after students discovered nude and sexual photos he posted on his personal Reddit account. The students found the account while searching online for information about their teacher, and one of the search results revealed a photo of him with a link to his profile. According to Donaree Nygard, the commissioner of the profession’s provincial regulator, Ho's Reddit page included nude images, photos of sexual acts, and posts of a sexual nature, which were visible on various sub-communities of the platform. The agreement also notes that Ho had posted clothed pictures of himself "in connection with school activities," including one taken at the school itself. News of Ho’s account spread rapidly through the student body, prompting several students to report it to other teachers out of concern about its appropriateness.
