About Michael Feinberg’s Online Porn Habit…

KIPP charter schools co-founder Michael Feinberg was fired in 2018 due to allegations of sexual misconduct. In August 2018, Feinberg sued for defamation, and in KIPP’s Motion to Dismiss, KIPP indicated that examination of Feinberg’s KIPP laptop indicated that Feinberg had used it to view pornography on multiple occasions.

According to KIPP officials, when Feinberg was confronted about the use of his school computer to view porn, “Feinberg admitted that he had accessed the pornography in question but claimed it had only occurred during business travel.”
