Two teachers in Winnipeg, Manitoba were suspended from their jobs after performing a lapdance at a high school pep rally:
WINNIPEG — A pair of teachers engaging in risque business set off a media riot after a video of a simulated lap dance from a school event went viral.
The video, taken last Wednesday during a well-attended pep rally for Grade 9 through 12 students at Churchill High School, shows students giggling, gasping and screaming as a female teacher receives a strip club-style lap dance from a male teacher.
By Thursday afternoon, students were spreading a minute-long video of the dance among each other on Facebook. On Monday afternoon, clips from the video were aired on CBC television.
Tuesday night, one parent of a Churchill High student groaned after learning that the video had gone national. “They so, so crossed the line,” said the parent, whose daughter showed her the video last week.

These two should be fired for unprofessional conduct. There are way too many professionals looking for work to keep these two idiots on the payroll.
They are good teachers. The male in the video really went to far... but then again.. Over half of TV shows the same thing.. Simply put the teachers should have put their thinking caps on.. as far as the students..
trust me....they see sexual realted images on TV every day including in cartoons.
However, if it is so bad, and it does "corrupt the youth" so much... Why is it being publicized on almost every network news program?
I'm getting tired of the moral-police saying, "Look at this horrible thing!" and then showing it to us.
I think they should have been suspended for the act, but then the student should have been suspended for taping and posting to YouTube. And the networks that are putting this on their 6AM, 5PM, and 6PM news shows should be ashamed of themselves for what amounts to a boat-load of hypocrisy.
If it happens in public, and is worth watching it's gonna end up on YouTube or on a file sharing site.
I'm suprised they were just suspended, I'm sure I would have been fired at my workplace.
