Summary
A high school teacher in Oakville, Ontario was caught teaching a shop class wearing giant prosthetic breasts in front of his own students. The story quickly went viral around the world, with many wondering if the school board would have done anything about it. But did they do anything at all?
Transcript
00:00:00.000
this teacher, after being the laughingstock of the world,
00:00:12.720
Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Falk. Norella, if there was ever a week that
00:00:17.180
exemplified why this show exists, why Ratioed exists, this past week certainly was it. You
00:00:23.780
see, before our Prime Minister was the butt end of the world's jokes for getting caught once again
00:00:28.300
embarrassing us in the world stage, Canada's education system was put on full display for
00:00:32.660
the world to see and for the world to laugh at when a Oakville high school teacher was seen teaching
00:00:38.560
a shop class wearing giant prosthetic breasts. We're going to go into the details of this story
0.86
00:00:43.880
and you'll quickly realize that actually it's way worse than you think it is. That actually
00:00:48.500
this sort of thing is being protected and almost, you could argue, facilitated by Ontario's woke
00:00:54.880
progressive school boards. We'll be getting into all of that on the show and for the Ratio
00:00:59.240
of the Week award, I think guys, the winner this week has the biggest ratio we've ever highlighted
00:01:04.520
on the program. I don't think anyone has ever come close to the like to comment margin we're looking
00:01:10.340
at here for the winner of the award. So no need to worry, no need to fret. The award is going to a
00:01:15.160
very deserving winner, as it always does. Drop a like on the video and share it. And the common
00:01:19.000
question for this episode is this, how will Justin Trudeau embarrass Canada on the world stage next?
00:01:24.240
We've seen the dramatic singing by the piano in London. We've seen the costumes in India.
00:01:29.100
What will we see next? What will Justin Trudeau do to embarrass us next on the world stage?
00:01:33.920
And if you're feeling generous, consider donating to us at donate.tnc.news. The link is in the
00:01:39.140
description of this video. All right, let's get into it. I never had the opportunity to take a shop
00:01:43.420
class when I was in high school, so I'm really no expert on what a shop teacher might look like.
00:01:47.440
But I'm sure many of you in the comments when you were in high school did take a shop class and
00:01:51.260
have had that experience. So you tell me in the comments, when you took a shop class,
00:01:55.600
did your shop teacher look like this? Now the man you see on your screen right now is Oakville
00:02:00.060
Trafalgar High School teacher Kayla Lemieux. That's the name this man is using as he is transitioning to
00:02:06.680
become a female while teaching a shop class in Oakville. Now this man, as you can very clearly
00:02:12.380
see, is wearing giant prosthetic breasts while teaching this class. This was the first video
00:02:18.460
of a series of photographs and videos of this teacher teaching this class because the students
00:02:23.880
obviously knew what they were doing. They took photos, videos, and it obviously went viral
00:02:27.880
instantly around the world. This teacher, keep in mind, has to walk through the main doors of the
00:02:33.160
school. You would think probably walk by many students before getting to the school, walk by the
00:02:39.640
principal of this school, get past all the teachers, and then into the classroom before his
00:02:45.220
class starts. At no point did anyone say, hey, you know, maybe we're just going to sub you out and
00:02:51.260
we're going to deal with this situation before this gets out of hand, before we turn our school board
00:02:55.460
into the punchline of the world's jokes. You'd think that might happen, but no, of course not,
00:03:01.120
because this is Canada. This man was able to walk straight through the school, into the school,
00:03:05.240
into his classroom, and teach his class. But you know, you can still rectify a mistake once it's
00:03:10.620
been made. You can still make the right move after the mistake. You can recognize you made an error
00:03:15.300
and then quickly solve the problem. This would be an easy slam dunk. For a sane, normal school board,
00:03:21.120
it would be an easy slam dunk. Easy to handle, fired. Nowhere to be seen, never to be seen at an
00:03:26.160
Ontario school again. After all, what you're watching is a man displaying his sexual fantasies
0.72
00:03:30.860
in front of students, public students. A man who earns money as a public school teacher off the
00:03:36.280
public dime. But of course, like they missed the chance the first opportunity, they missed the
00:03:41.280
chance the second opportunity. Kayla Lemieux, this teacher, after being the laughingstock of the world,
00:03:47.700
showed up to school on Monday. And he taught his class on Monday. Unbelievable. At no point the
00:03:54.040
school board decided that they should maybe sub in a real woodworking teacher, a real shop teacher,
00:03:58.700
whose giant prosthetic breasts wouldn't be a safety hazard while teaching the class. No,
1.00
00:04:03.700
they didn't decide that. In fact, they decided that it would be fine for this teacher to teach
00:04:06.520
the class on Monday, after the weekend. And the school itself has decided to go silent in their
00:04:13.280
communications to very upset parents and very upset citizens, people who want answers. You see,
00:04:19.040
the school board is not prepared to give them any because they're too busy defending this teacher.
00:04:23.380
The Toronto Sun story states, when the story first went viral, it was after students at Oakville
00:04:27.620
Trafalgar High School posted a number of pictures and videos to social media. Margot Shuttleworth,
00:04:32.340
chair of the school board, told the Sun's Joe Warmington that they were standing behind the teacher
00:04:37.160
in the name of protecting gender rights. You see, it's not about protecting students. It's not about
00:04:42.960
creating a safe environment for students to learn. No, no, it's to protect their gender ideology.
1.00
00:04:48.740
It's to protect, quote, gender rights. You can see exactly where Ontario's schools are heading.
00:04:54.180
Now, of course, the Halton District School Board, the school board that oversees Oakville Trafalgar
00:04:58.180
High School, is a real school board. They have a dress code, which they supposedly enforce for
00:05:03.280
students and staff. Funny, however, that at no point has the school board enforced the dress code
00:05:09.960
for this male teacher, Kayla Lemieux. In the dress code for the Halton District School Board,
00:05:14.620
it states very clearly, at the bottom here, dress codes must prevent students from wearing clothing
00:05:19.520
that exposes or makes visible genitals or nipples. Now, you tell me, guys, in this video here, if you
00:05:24.960
think this teacher, Kayla Lemieux, violates the Halton District School Board dress code. Of course,
1.00
00:05:30.340
it's ratioed, so we have to show how the rest of the world mocked this country and mocked this
00:05:35.080
situation. This is what Tucker Carlson, the most-watched news anchor in the United States,
00:05:38.740
had to say about this situation. There's no question about it. This is the guy in the van
00:05:43.860
trying to give your sixth-grader candy. This is the flasher in the park. This guy is a pervert.
00:05:49.360
He should not be within 500 yards of children, period. He's a threat to children.
1.00
00:05:56.900
Now, there have always been threats to children. In every society, there are people like this.
00:06:00.780
And every society deals with them swiftly and very harshly, but no longer in the West. Now,
00:06:06.560
people like this are not punished. They are celebrated and then protected. Trafalgar High
00:06:11.660
School, which is public, it's funded by Canadian taxpayers, is vigorously defending his behavior
00:06:16.920
and threatening anyone who notices. So is the Halton District School Board, which oversees the school.
00:06:22.400
They just sent us this statement, and we're quoting,
00:06:24.000
The school board recognizes the rights of the parents, staff, students, guardians, community
00:06:30.480
members, to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and
00:06:35.200
gender expression. Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario
00:06:41.920
Human Rights Code. Oh, the Human Rights Code? Really? We're the rights of the kids. There are none.
00:06:47.720
Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire and of the documentary, What is a Woman, also, of course,
00:06:51.860
had to get in on the action. Now, when you hear that it's said that the fake breasts he's wearing
00:06:58.460
are oversized, I think then, if we put it that way, we are engaging in severe understatement.
00:07:04.500
He is, in fact, wearing prosthetic breasts the size of, like, hot air balloons. His inner woman
0.99
00:07:10.480
is apparently nine feet tall and weighs 800 pounds by the looks of it. In fact, his inner woman seems to
00:07:16.100
be literally bursting out of his stomach, like that scene from Alien. Now, and we can make jokes about
00:07:21.300
this because it's totally absurd, but actually, it's not very funny. The kids in his class are
00:07:27.060
not, as you heard from one of the kids, they're not comfortable, and how could they be?
00:07:30.980
They're the victims of sexual harassment here, and they're not going to be getting any help from
00:07:35.620
the school. As Redux reports in a follow-up, quote, the Ontario high school, at the center of a
00:07:40.680
controversy for having a male teacher, a male teaching young students while donning a large
00:07:45.300
prosthetic bust, has issued a full defense of the teacher in newly leaked emails sent to parents.
00:07:50.600
Now, when this story broke, of course, I think every single person in the United States
00:07:54.400
knew what was coming next. Alex Stein, the U.S. comedian who's made a career out of mocking
00:07:59.400
school board meetings and council meetings, made his inaugural strike on Canada when he
00:08:03.740
joined in to have his say on the Halton District School Board council meeting. Take a look at what
00:08:08.760
you had to say. Hey, guys. I just want to say, you know, my student, one of my students made fun of
00:08:17.280
one of my co-workers because she decided to wear pathetic breath and go into school. And I just
0.96
00:08:23.980
want to talk about the bigotry and the racism that people are facing, especially these young kids.
00:08:29.140
We have a whole culture of transphobia. Now, we have the idea that, oh, people are more accepting
00:08:33.760
of the gender reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy, but that's not the case.
0.91
00:08:39.600
So my colleague, when she came in to class, people were calling her big boobs, kazangas and all these
0.85
00:08:47.380
perverted words, but they were saying it in a way that was very derogatory and almost non-sexual,
0.96
00:08:53.060
meaning that it was still safe for school. And as an administrator, as a faculty member,
00:08:58.360
I cannot stand here and let transphobia be infected into our youth. Because listen,
00:09:04.700
if somebody want to walk in to our school and they want to have big, big prosthetic breasts,
1.00
00:09:09.220
we need to encourage that. We need more people wearing prosthetic breasts. I mean,
1.00
00:09:13.200
if you look at like guys like Jeffrey Epstein, he was a bad guy and he was a child predator.
00:09:18.140
And I know he flew with, you know, Bill Clinton 26 times on the Lolita Express,
00:09:22.200
but they had a good point. Jeffrey Epstein had a good point is that everybody likes breath.
00:09:27.320
And I think the teacher was trying to talk about breath.
00:09:31.720
Here's Canada's prime minister representing Canada on the world stage,
00:09:35.140
attending the funeral for Canada's late head of state.
00:09:52.000
Honestly, is there anything worse than hearing Justin Trudeau sing that part of Bohemian Rhapsody?
00:09:55.900
Look, I imagine the person filming this, whoever got this clip, by the way,
00:09:59.640
thank you for your service to this country. So in a very flamboyant and in a very dramatic way,
00:10:04.540
our prime minister, who's again, a totally serious person, was seen there singing Bohemian Rhapsody
00:10:10.360
while attending the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II. And it's a good thing that our prime minister
00:10:14.960
hasn't lost touch with his dramatic roots, with his former occupation as a drama teacher at a high
00:10:21.140
school. He really goes full Freddie Mercury there, doesn't he? He really dips down low to hit those
00:10:25.800
notes and really embraces singing as if no one in the room is watching. Unfortunately for Justin
00:10:31.480
Trudeau and for all of Canada, that clip surfaced the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. He just
00:10:37.740
knows exactly when to embarrass us and he has a special skill at picking the perfect time. This is
00:10:42.300
how the legacy media, conveniently the legacy media that Trudeau bought off to run cover for him when he
00:10:47.340
makes errors in the world stage. This is how the legacy media tried to defend dear leader Justin.
00:10:52.080
They first started off by saying that the video itself was fake. The video was from months ago at
00:10:56.400
the Jubilee. You see, look at the length of his hair, look at the cars in the background. It's
00:11:01.100
clearly from months ago. Then when that turned out to be fake and the PMO confirmed that it was a true
00:11:05.780
video, the next line of attack was actually, you see, it's not that bad because Justin Trudeau was doing
00:11:11.000
this on Saturday night, not Sunday night. It wasn't the eve of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. It was the day
00:11:16.200
before that. So it makes it all the better. Justin Trudeau was doing this on a Saturday, not a Sunday.
00:11:20.880
Then when that turned out to be false too, the line became actually, Justin Trudeau is doing this in
00:11:27.440
tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. His drunken singing of Bohemian Rhapsody in the most flamboyant and dramatic
00:11:32.600
way possible was actually to tribute Canada's late head of state, Queen Elizabeth. It was actually to
00:11:38.520
memorialize the great Queen Elizabeth. Then of course, when that also failed, the final line of attack
00:11:44.580
was, ah, why are we talking about this anyway? So it's a non-story. Why is our prime minister
00:11:48.920
being mocked for this? CBC's Aaron Weary wrote on Twitter, I refuse to believe that anyone truly
00:11:54.600
and genuinely cares about the prime minister singing in a hotel lobby on Saturday night.
00:11:58.360
So that's the last measure, the last line of defense is to just say, this is a non-story.
00:12:02.900
We shouldn't be talking about it. TikTok girl rushed in to try and say that the video itself
00:12:07.660
needed to be fact-checked. It wasn't actually real. It was on the Saturday night. It wasn't at the
00:12:11.540
Savoy Hotel. It was at another very expensive hotel. Toronto stars Althea Raj saying,
00:12:16.880
I feel very privileged to live in a country where the most controversial thing to have happened today
00:12:20.260
is footage of the prime minister singing on Saturday night with a Quebec icon in the lobby of a hotel
00:12:25.060
while in London for the Queen's funeral. Hashtag perspective. The best part to me though was all
00:12:30.500
the legacy media outlets saying that his flamboyant singing of Bohemian Rhapsody was in tribute to Queen
00:12:36.400
Elizabeth II. Like we're that stupid. Like they really think we're that stupid that we actually think
1.00
00:12:41.280
Justin Trudeau was toasting the Queen with his horrible singing. They're that in the tank for
1.00
00:12:46.280
Trudeau. They're that useless at holding power to account. Now, of course, our good friends in the
0.99
00:12:50.720
United States made an absolute meal of Justin Trudeau singing. And this is what Greg Gutfeld on
00:12:55.640
Fox News had to say. Greg Gutfeld said he'd rather take Hunter Biden as president than have Justin
00:13:00.240
Trudeau as his president. That's a pretty low blow. Check this out.
00:13:03.520
What was he thinking, huh? Chances are he probably wasn't. Just be grateful he was singing
00:13:09.300
Bohemian Rhapsody and not Another One Bites the Dust.
00:13:20.520
And be thankful he didn't do anything from Aladdin.
00:13:23.340
All right, Kat. You know what bothers me about him? Everything. But also, doesn't he seem like you
00:13:34.360
know this type of person? Totally. You know this person. Yeah, he was there for the funeral. He was
00:13:39.620
getting jealous that the Queen was getting all this attention for being dead. Check out what Jesse
00:13:43.740
Waters had to say as well on this. One particular leader, our neighbor, in fact, to the North,
00:13:50.840
Canada, for those of you who weren't paying attention to that quiz,
00:13:55.660
showed their respects in a different way. Justin Trudeau decided the best way to honor
00:13:59.780
the Queen's legacy would be to fly to London, wear a t-shirt, get drunk at a British pub,
1.00
00:14:20.840
Simon Cowell called, and I can't even say what he said. But I think the best takedown of Justin Trudeau,
00:14:29.400
on video at least, came from British talk TV host Laura Doddsworth. Check out what she has to say
00:14:35.300
about our Prime Minister. Since then, I've realized he's an arch-narcissist, controlling,
0.78
00:14:39.660
fascist sociopath. That's enough reasons there. Well, I mean, just as well he became a politician,
1.00
00:14:44.480
then, because that's exactly the qualifications that you need. Absolutely. The specific reason
00:14:50.700
I'm making him my plank is actually I am doing this on behalf of Canada. There have been 500,000
00:14:58.220
tweets in the last couple of days all saying Trudeau must go. Now, this has gone viral. It's a great
00:15:05.340
Twitter trend. And what people are doing is saying who they are, what they do, and saying that their
00:15:09.980
views are too extreme for Trudeau, and Trudeau must go. They're mainly objecting to the vaccine
00:15:14.300
mandates. You know, Canada's still living in this kind of viral handmaid's tale world where you can't
00:15:20.080
go anywhere unless you're... Well, they've got all of them, and they're all still completely straight.
00:15:24.240
And so the thing is that he kind of projects this image of being really reasonable, and he's popular.
00:15:29.200
But Twitter trends don't tell a lie. And he's got half a million tweets from his home country,
00:15:35.260
saying he must go. All right, guys. Ratio of the Week time. The winner this week is Peter Bogosian.
00:15:40.480
I think I've got that name right. And we have a couple firsts. The first being that he's an American.
00:15:44.620
So he's the first American winner of the Ratio of the Week award. Congratulations for that great honor,
00:15:49.700
Pete. The second, of course, being the size of the ratio. I don't think we've ever seen something
00:15:53.380
quite so substantial. The margin of victory for Peter Bogosian compared to everyone else who was in
00:15:57.660
the running for the award, it's beyond measure. This guy got so brutally ratioed, it was a non-competition.
00:16:03.740
So for this tweet, Peter Bogosian was given 11.7 thousand comments to 2,991 likes. By the time
00:16:12.520
you see this, it might have passed the 3,000 mark, but really with 11,000 comments, it's a
00:16:17.860
non-competition. It's not even close. Peter Bogosian, for some bizarre reason, tried to put
00:16:23.120
forward some sort of defense of the Oakville teacher. He writes,
00:16:26.480
Most people have strong moral impulses about whether this individual should be allowed to
00:16:30.660
teach their children in a public school, but very few can construct a good argument. Why or why not?
00:16:36.200
Very few can construct a good argument. Why or why not? This person should not teach your children.
00:16:42.060
It's more difficult than you think. Try it. Well, I think some people took Peter Bogosian up on his
00:16:47.760
challenge and tried it for themselves. And turns out actually 11.7 thousand people took up Peter
00:16:53.560
Bogosian's challenge and tried it. And here's what some of them had to say. The great Calvin
00:16:57.340
Robinson and GB News commentator out in the UK wrote a perfect response to Peter Bogosian. He
00:17:02.620
wrote this, Because he's clearly a pervert, demonstrating narcissistic tendencies, forcing
1.00
00:17:06.580
children to partake in his sexual fetish. It used to be okay to say we don't want sexual deviants
1.00
00:17:11.280
teaching children. Why is that no longer enough of an argument? Keep kinks out of the classroom.
1.00
00:17:16.280
Megyn Kelly responded, No mentally well woman puts breasts of this size with her nipples popping
1.00
00:17:21.000
out on display for kids trying to learn. The fact that it's a trans person enamored with a new sex
1.00
00:17:25.640
toy who wants to do a show and tell with minors makes it even worse and arguably misogynistic.
0.99
00:17:30.480
See? Not hard at all. Even Fry responded simply with the dress code policy that we touched on earlier.
00:17:35.620
He wrote, Not difficult at all, Peter. It violates the school's own dress code policy.
00:17:39.720
And then this person writes, In my day we had a dress code. No spaghetti strapped tank tops. The nipples
00:17:45.200
are definitely a violation of dress code. Are we really pretending this is okay? Besides,
0.95
00:17:49.620
as stated by others, it's definitely a sexual kink dressed up as a trans to abuse the LGBT
1.00
00:17:54.980
tolerance. Well, that's going to do it for us this week on the show. What a wild episode and
0.98
00:17:59.360
what an embarrassing week for Canada. Hopefully next week we can show the rest of the world the
00:18:03.440
true side of Canada and we'll do that next week. I'll catch you tomorrow on Fake News Friday.
