"SAN DIEGO -- Parents are voicing concerns about a picture they saw posted on a teacher's Facebook page that shows him being spanked by a student.

In the picture, San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts teacher Bill Doyle is seen bent over and smiling as a smiling brunette smacks his behind.
