After months of outcry against an Oakville, Ontario, teacher’s controversial attire, the main solution the school board put forth—a professionalism policy—has been voted down.

The Halton District School Board (HDSB) started working on a professionalism policy for staff in January as Oakville Trafalgar High School teacher Kayla Lemieux, formerly Kerry Lemieux, gained international attention for wearing tight shirts over large breasts with protruding nipples—long assumed to be prosthetic, though Lemieux has claimed they are real and grown with hormone treatments.
