The transgender high school teacher in Canada who went viral for her Z-cup prosthetic boobs could be asked to tone down her clothes.
Kayla Lemieux, who goes by the name of Kerry, teaches at Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario and wears extra-large, retail-bought breasts with artificial nipples under tight tops, along with flex shorts and a blonde wig.
But she may soon be forced to stop wearing her controversial dress after the Halton Borough School Board ordered staff to develop a “professional dress standards” policy during a Jan. 3 meeting.
Students and parents have expressed concerns about Lemieux’s clothing, saying that it “mocks women and the educational experience”. So far, the board has backed her decision to dress like this, and in December it emerged that students had been threatened with suspension for taking pictures of her.

‘It has been decided that the director [of Education Curtis Ennis] Develop a professionalism policy outlining HDSB’s expectations of all staff, including the requirement to maintain appropriate and professional standards of dress and decorum in the classroom,” the unanimous motion read, according to the Toronto Sun.
The report is expected to be completed over the next month, but until then, Lemieux is free to continue to dress as she appears in multiple viral videos and images from the classroom, the hallways, while skydiving or, more recently, with a cast boot attached to her see is foot after an unknown injury.
While the instructor was teaching at several other HDSB schools in December, the educator was not sighted last week when students returned from the Christmas holidays.
The call for “appropriate” and “professional” wardrobe and “decoration” is a departure from November, when Sari Taha, the school board’s superintendent of human resources, warned that “implementing a formal dress code for staff or standards of care would likely overwhelm the board.” expose significant risks liability.’
He said even if “a dress code is instituted on non-discriminatory grounds, it would likely be considered discriminatory if it adversely affects an employee or a group or employees based on their reasons protected by the code”.

Ontario Secretary of Education Stephen Lecce told the outlet in December he had urged the board to take action.
“I think the bottom line and our position is that we expect children to maintain the highest standards of professionalism when standing in front of employees,” Lecce said last month.
“Many families in the community have expressed their deep concern at the way this issue is being addressed and as such we reiterate our expectation to the school authorities as employers to act in the interests of the children and to listen to the voices and families of the children themselves within.” different schools.’
While it appears that HDSB acted, Ennis has expressed doubts about the board’s commitment to human rights.
“HDSB’s commitment to human rights remains rooted in our core values and commitment to each and every student and employee who identifies as a member of an underserved and underrepresented group, and our approach is informed by opinions of leading labor and human rights law firms equity advisors,” said Ennis in last week’s session.
‘This commitment and approach will continue to be applied as the HDSB seeks to honor this request.’
A group of parents, students and other “concerned members” of the Oakville community known as Students First Ontario said they were optimistic about the board’s “steps in the right direction.”
‘[We] I hope the board is serious about introducing professional standards for employees, which will help improve the situation,” the group said.

In December, David Menzies, a host for Canada’s right-wing news outlet Rebel Media, spoke about Lemieux being removed from a theater while appearing on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show.
Menzies also discussed the incident on a November episode of his show. At the time, he said of Lemieux’s presence at the dance concert: “It’s so disgusting. This is so disturbing. This is so despicable.”
In the same episode, Menzies said he took a camera crew to Lemieux’s apartment. He said he saw Lemieux remove her breasts and wig at home.
In October, Menzies attended a school board meeting for the Halton School District, where Lemieux teaches at Oakville Trafalgar High School, as the character “Mammary Menzies,” who sported extremely large prosthetic breasts.
Menzies brought a petition calling for the school board to be fired because of Lemieux’s continued employment. He was eventually removed from the congregation by a police officer.
Students have shared videos of Lemieux at other schools as she recovers from a foot injury, showing her walking on crutches and sitting next to a student who appears to be vaping.
The district has now warned that students are not allowed to take photos of anyone in the school unless they get their permission – and could be suspended if they do so.
Alongside complaints about the alleged suspension warnings, the parents claimed, “Lemieux is getting a personal escort [and] Shelter’ wherever she goes after the district received a series of bomb threats.
The Halton County School Board directed staff to develop a policy for “professional dress standards” at a Jan. 3 meeting. Here they are discussing matters in September 2022

School board spokeswoman Heather Francey said at the time that the district could not comment on personnel matters.
She added that students must follow the district policy on Responsible Use of Information and Communication Technology.
“It is standard practice for students to obtain permission from any subject (including other students, staff or others) at any time before taking, using and transmitting any image or video,” she told the Sun.
“This policy helps guide that standard courtesy throughout our organization.”
In November, Lemieux was pictured skydiving with a male porn star named Voodoo, whose real name is Alexandre Boisvert.
Voodoo said that he was only focused on jumping out of the plane and that talking to Lemieux about his personal feelings towards transgender people was counterproductive to their safety.
He also stressed that Lemieux didn’t know who he was either. It is not clear what the relationship between Voodoo and Lemieux is, if there is one.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail at the time, Voodoo said: “I had no idea I was taking the controversial transgender schoolteacher until they showed up in the drop zone.”
“I’m not a fan of trans activism or Kayla’s behavior at school, but I’m a professional and I don’t discriminate.”
He added: “I will throw anyone out of a plane. Also, I found it a challenge to take a large 230-pound person skydiving with giant prosthetic beasts. Most instructors wouldn’t even take them strictly on their size alone.’
