The teacher will still be suspended pending the outcome of the probe.

Tom Six, the writer and the director of the said movie, found out about the news and he seems he not against the idea. Six took on his twitter saying, "It should be mandatory to watch THC2 in school classes. It deals with a character that is bullied and what to do!"

The movie tells a story of a mentally ill surgeon, who was intending to create human centipede by kidnapping people and sewing them up together.

The students of Jackson Central-Merry High complained about watching the said horror movie. International Business Times reported that it was not disclosed on why the teacher showed the film to the students. Six, who was delighted on the teacher's initiative, said he will send a copy of the movie with his autograph. It is still unclear if the teacher will face charges regarding the issue.
