Friday 23 September 2022 11:41 PM School board could implement dress code to force trans teacher to ditch ... trends now
The trans high school teacher in Canada who is flaunting oversize prosthetic breasts will have to tone down her revealing wardrobe if school board members get their way.
Kayla Lemieux, a tech teacher at Oakville Trafalgar High School in an upscale residential neighborhood roughly 25 miles west of Toronto, has garnered global attention after photos and video appeared on social media showing her eye-popping fake breasts.
Under pressure from fuming parents, the Halton District School Board (HDSB) issued a statement to explain that its hands are tied due to the province's Human Rights Code.
And students seem to be behind the move. Several joined a small protest outside the school Friday, with one declaring: 'This is a school, not a circus. We just want to learn.'
A motion was put forward at a school board meeting Wednesday to consider altering the dress code – which could mean that Lemieux may have to ditch the fabric-stretching prosthetic breasts, which sell online for as much as $1,000.

DailyMail.com can reveal that school board members voted to consider implementing a dress code on Wednesday
At a meeting of the HDSB on Wednesday, trustee Tracey Ehl Harrison put forward a motion that 'the director be requested to return to the board, by November 2022, a report addressing the various considerations regarding dress code'
'The HDSB recognizes the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and gender expression,' the board said in a statement. 'Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.'
Minutes before the final bell on Friday, a small group of protesters showed up at the end of the school’s driveway, shouting for school officials to ‘protect our children.’
Across the street, several people held signs that spelled out ‘Inclusivity is no excuse for depravity.’ One person held up a sign that said: ‘Teacher’s personal propaganda has no place in the classroom.’
Most of the students who spilled out of the school’s numerous exits left to start their weekends but a group of mostly senior grade students joined the protest.
Police officers, facing a crowd that swelled to nearly 100, escorted vehicles out of the school parking lot.
‘Thank you for speaking up for us,’ one male student shouted before being handed a megaphone. ‘This is a school not a circus! We just want to learn!’
Another student told the protesters he doesn’t go to school to be ‘distracted.’
‘It’s so crazy that nobody is doing anything.’
Students who joined the fracas said they are bound by a dress code that prohibits visible nipples or genitalia so they are left wondering why the same rules don’t apply to Lemieux.
One of the protest organizers blasted the human rights code for protecting ‘a man who dresses up as a woman who has size Z fetish fake boobs.’
‘What are we doing to our children to allow this?’ he asked the crowd.
Protesters from a faith-based group called Action 4 Canada called for the principal and school board trustees to resign for failing to protect students.
It appeared that Lemieux was taken out of the school to the driveway of an adjacent YMCA childcare facility, where she was driven away from the scene.
Protesters have vowed to keep fighting and are planning more demonstrations.
