Parents of students at a Canadian high school are threatening legal action to stop a transgender shop teacher from continuing to wear size Z prosthetic breasts in class.
Attorney Rishi Bandhu, who has a son at Oakville Trafalgar High School and represents three other parents, issued the warning in a recent legal letter to the Halton District School Board in Ontario.
The letter required that shop teacher Kayla Lemieux hold herself to the same dress code standards as district students, calling her dress an “obvious” violation of the district’s dress code.
It comes after students were reportedly threatened with suspension if they took pictures of the controversial teacher, and a protester who mockingly dressed up as Lemieux at a school board meeting was banned from district property for life. .

In his letter, Bandhu also called for the school board to explicitly state any exceptions to the dress code and allow parents to discuss the matter at school board hearings.
“From our point of view, it is illogical and absurd to suggest that teachers would have a lower standard than students in terms of dress,” Bandhu said. foxnews in an interview on Wednesday.
Bandhu acknowledged that “human rights by their nature are complex,” adding that the school board faces “a very delicate balance of interests” in weighing Lemieux’s rights against parental concerns.
“What they are missing is that when it comes to human rights, and particularly gender expression, context matters,” she said.
“The context they’re missing here is that this is a school, and these are children, they are teenagers, and their maturity is still developing,” Bandhu argued.
The Halton District School Board did not immediately respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment Thursday morning.
The Halton District School Board suggested it would be a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code to criticize or prevent Lemieux, who began transitioning from male to female in 2021, from wearing the large breast prostheses (above).

Lemieux’s appearance in the classroom has generated mounting controversy in recent months.
Last month, a a source told DailyMail.com that in 2021 Lemieux attended a children’s dance recital in Burlington, Ontario, and was asked to leave by other parents.

Menzies brought with him a petition calling for the school board to be fired over Lemieux’s continued employment. Finally, a police officer removed him from the meeting.
During his protest, Menzies said his petition to remove the board had 16,000 signatures.
He told board members: ‘The Halton District School Board and Director of Education, Curtis Ennis, should be fired for allowing a female-identifying shop teacher to wear huge fake breasts that are barely covered by see-through tops while teaching. .’
Last month, parents in the Halton school district in Ontario, Canada, claimed that some students were warned they would be suspended from class if they continued to film and photograph Lemieux, according to the Toronto Sun.
The district has issued a warning reminding students that they may not take pictures of anyone at school unless they get their permission.
School board spokeswoman Heather Francey reiterated that the district cannot comment on Human Resources matters.

“It is standard practice for students to obtain permission from any subject at any time (including other students, staff or anyone) before capturing, using and transmitting images or video,” he told the Sun. “This policy helps guide that standard courtesy across all of our business.”
