"Girls, if you wear short skirts and I can see your panties, I am going to tell you what color they are."He is later accused of telling one "female student the color of her panties."School administrators also say Foster told the girls not to wear shirts with writing across the chest as "you keep reading it over and over."According to discipline documents, the inappropriate comments were not just directed at the girls. The investigation accuses him of telling male students that wearing pants low means in prison terms that "you are open for business," referring to male prison prostitution.Foster has been removed the classroom and the school district is asking the school board to suspend Foster for 10 days without pay for violating standards of personal and professional conduct."Following his suspension, if that is what's passed at the board meeting in October, then he'd be moved to a different school," said Jill Johnson, spokeswoman for the Duval County School Board.Foster was going into his second year of teaching in Duval County and records show no previous disciplinary action.
