A Winnipeg high school teacher simulates oral sex on a fellow teacher during a school pep rally. (YouTube) Two Winnipeg teachers who simulated a lap dance at a student rally are no longer being paid while they wait to learn their fate.
The teachers were originally sent home with pay but not officially suspended. They were told in early March that their status would be changed to a suspension and their pay would be halted, Winnipeg School Division trustee Mike Babinsky said.
The male and female teachers made sexually suggestive motions during a pep rally at Churchill High School in February, although they remained fully clothed.
The dance was caught on video, and prompted calls from some parents for the teachers to be fired.
In the video, the teachers can be seen grinding against each other while the woman sits in a chair placed in the middle of the gym floor. The man straddles her and bends over while she slaps his behind and playfully tucks pretend money into his waistband.
The school division is still deciding whether to take further disciplinary action, but all discussions have been held behind closed doors, which has angered Babinksy.
"It's a public school system. It's not a private company and I think people should be able to criticize what's going on," he said following one such meeting in March.
Babinsky said he has no idea when a final decision will be made.
