An Ontario High School has come to the defense of its transgender shop teacher who went viral last week after wearing cartoonishly large fake breasts with prominently protruding nipples and skimpy clothing to school.
The videos captured by students show the fetishistic displays of the male teacher’s massive prosthetic breasts while he uses shop equipment and lectures the class.
I don’t remember my shop teacher looking like this

The videos and images are so ridiculous that there was confusion as to whether the teacher was part of a comedy sketch or if the whole thing was a hoax, but backlash ensued when it became apparent that the teacher’s vulgar displays were real.
As the Ontario Minister of Education @Sflecce it is your duty to protect Ontario students from being exposed to this teacher’s vulgar sexual fetish. This man must be removed from the classroom and steps must be taken to prevent this from ever happening again @fordnation

But the Oakville Trafalgar High School (OTHS) emailed a statement to parents over the weekend defending the teacher’s employment status, citing “inclusivity.”
“We are aware of discussion on social media and in the media regarding Oakville Trafalgar High School. We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to our community that we are committed to establishing and maintaining a safe, caring, inclusive, equitable and welcoming learning and working environment for all students and staff,” the email reads.
“We strive to promote a positive learning environment in schools consistent with the values of the HDSB and to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students, staff and the community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socioeconomic circumstances or body type/size.”
Local media outlet BlogTO also circled the wagons around the trans teacher, comparing the outrage to female teachers facing misogyny in the classroom.
This is far from the first time that a woman educator has been criticized widely online for wearing something deemed “inappropriate” or “distracting” to work, nor is it the first time that a teacher from the LGBTQIA2S+ community been harassed for expressing their identity.
The Halton District School Board (HDSB), which oversees the Oakville Trafalgar High School, said it is “working through creating a safety plan” to protect the teacher.
For now, it appears the children will continue to be forced to look at this teacher carrying out his obvious exhibitionist fetish while trying to learn shop.
Yet another reason to consider homeschooling your children.
