The Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) will review its professional standards, according to provincial Education Minister Stephen Lecce, in response to a controversial Oakville teacher who was videotaped and photographed wearing large prosthetic breasts during class.

“In this province, in our schools, we celebrate our differences and we also believe that there must be the highest standards of professionalism in front of our kids,” Lecce told reporters during a press conference on Sept. 23.
