Kayla Lemieux has quit her previous job at a Toronto high school
Controversial Canadian teacher Kayla Lemieux has resigned from her former job at Oakville Trafalgar High School, where her Z-sized breast forms sparked a major controversy and led to bomb threats, The Post has learned.
After the Post’s images of Lemieux running errands without a wig or prosthetics, the Halton County School Board decided to place her on leave this spring.
Many believed Lemieux was then quietly fired, but sources confirmed to The Post that she was the one who left to pursue new opportunities.
Meanwhile, the workshop class teacher has seemingly turned over a new leaf and arrived at the Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School campus this week in men’s clothing and a layer of stubble on her face to start a new semester.
The teacher’s new look has frustrated Oakville parents, who have faced bomb threats and unwanted attention because of Lemieux, while school officials went to great lengths to accommodate her last school year.
The parents of the new school are also upset and wondering what the sudden change means.
“Why does she drop the big breast forms, the tight clothes and the wig so quickly?” mother Michele, 41, told The Post earlier this week.
“This is disingenuous and it is now obvious that it was all for attention and at the expense of children’s safety.”
Lemieux arrived under a police escort at the start of the new year, and before classes began, Nora Frances Henderson principal Tom Fisher warned parents that their presence could cause “disruption” and told them that a series of new safety protocols had been put in place to protect students had been.
Those measures included “allowing students to enter and exit the building through assigned doors when entering and exiting the building” and “locking exterior doors during school hours and using only the front main doors during school hours,” it said in the memo, obtained by the Toronto Sun.
“I’m not worried that Kayla is a threat to my children. To be honest, I’m more worried about Kayla’s safety,” Michele added.
“But my children could be in danger if someone attacks them or if there is a bomb threat and my children are at school.”
Lemieux had previously insisted that she was intersex and that her breasts were real in an interview with The Post in February.
She claimed they were so big because she suffers from an extremely rare condition called gigantomastia, which causes the breasts to grow huge.
“I don’t wear breast prostheses. “They’re real,” she claimed at the time, saying the pictures of her without them were actually someone else’s.
