Despite a plethora of photos and videos showing up on social media sites, newspapers and TV, taking any more shots of a school teacher’s Z-size prosthetic breasts is X-rated and will be penalized, according to the Halton School District in Ontario..Students have been “threatened with suspension” for taking any photos or videos of Oakville Trafalgar High School teacher Kayla Lemieux, who’s regularly seen at the school with her massive chest and blond wig, parents told the Toronto Sun..Lemieux, who formerly went by the name Kerry Lemieux, was seen in a video last week walking down a hallway on crutches with a cast on her right foot at Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School in Oakland, where she was substitute teaching..This comes after photos of her skydiving with a male porn star went viral, which, according to the Daily Mail, was not the cause of a foot injury..However, the foot injury has kept her away from Oakville Trafalgar High School for weeks for “safety reasons” due to the machinery she uses in her industrial arts classes, according to the Halton School District. . Kayla LemieuxKayla Lemieux .Lemieux also substituted recently at Abbey Park High School in Oakville, with witnesses saying police were present at each school while she was teaching there..“Lemieux gets a personal escort (and) protection everywhere” she goes, a parent told the Sun, which noted schools in the area have received bomb threats..There have been as many complaints about Lemieux as there have been photos online, but the school board stands by her right to her own identity..“We can’t comment on HR matters,” said school board spokesperson Heather Francey, adding the district has a “Responsible Use Procedures for Information and Communications Technology” policy regarding photos and videos..“It is routine practice for students to obtain the permission of any subject at any time (including other students, staff, or any person) before capturing, using, and transmitting images or video. This policy helps guide that standard courtesy across our board,” she said..Some pupils skipped classes held by the Oakville industrial arts teacher, who began identifying as female last year..“The kids here most definitely don’t think it’s normal … but realistically we can’t say anything,” tweeted one pupil. “But I don’t think the school can fire the teacher.”.The Halton District School Board “created a safety plan” for the teacher to “make sure she is protected” and can continue leading classes amid the protests, said board chair Margo Shuttleworth..Protecting “gender rights” is “the stance the school board is taking, and they are standing behind the teacher,” said Shuttleworth. “This teacher is an extremely effective teacher.” .Sunira Chaudhry, an employment lawyer, said such unprofessional attire was “creating a wedge” in gender rights..“It’s clownish,” said Chaudhry. “It seems sexist to me because of the exaggerated nature of these breasts with nipples protruding. I think a lot of young women at the school wouldn’t just feel uncomfortable, they’d feel mocked.”.“What would happen if a teacher came in with natural breasts, nipples protruding, a low-cut top and no bra? Would the board come to the same defense of a cis-woman teacher?”.“Many women feel that they would not get that defense, that they would get a stern warning from their employer.”.“Most employers have the ability to dictate some sort of grooming.”.Chaudhry says the presentation by the trans teacher is “beyond the scope of what any reasonable employer would expect and nobody would be surprised to see an employer stepping in and saying, ‘We need you as a teacher to come to school and dress professionally.”
