Controversial Z-cup-breasted teacher Kayla Lemieux returns to the classroom at new school

The Canadian teacher who sparked controversy after photos showed her in class wearing Z-size prosthetic breasts last year has landed a new teaching gig — prompting the school to place additional security measures for safety.

Parents of high schoolers at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario have been warned by the school’s principal there may be “protests” and “disruptions” over Kayla Lemieux’s hiring in a memo obtained by the Toronto Sun.

“We are writing to you today because we anticipate the school your child is attending this year, Nora Frances Henderson, may receive some level of public attention, and we want to communicate what this means for you, your children, and our school,” Principal Tom Fisher wrote in the memo.


Kayla Lemieux, the Canadian wood shop high school teacher who went viral for her large Z-cup breast, has landed a new teaching job at a neighboring high school.

“Should the school be subject to any disruptions or protests; we are committed to communicating with you as openly and as frequently as possible to ensure student safety – and to share any operational plans,” the memo stated, according to the outlet.

Understanding the controversial storm that may follow the hiring, Fisher wrote that new safety measures will be implemented to protect students and faculty as Lemieux joins their ranks.

These safety precautions include “having students enter and exit the building using assigned doors at entry and dismissal” and “locking exterior doors during school hours, only using the front main doors during school hours,” according to the memo.

“All students and visitors will be required to use an intercom system to enter and exit the building,” with parents being asked, “to email or call before coming to the school if they wish to visit or speak to an employee.”

The memo explained the board has “an obligation to uphold individual rights and treat everyone with dignity and respect” as students ready to greet their new controversial educator.

The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board acknowledged they have “recently communicated” with parents that “their child’s school may receive heightened public interest,” the outlet reported.

Fisher assured parents that the school and district are currently not dealing with any “safety concerns,” and the memo is only meant to keep parents in the loop so they are not blindsided by “possible media interest onsite and protests.”

It’s unclear whether Lemieux, who was not explicitly named in the memo but referred to as “an experienced educator” who was “recently the subject of public attention, pertaining to their gender expression while teaching at a school in a different community,” will be teaching shop for the school.

The memo also did not mention if students would be suspended if they snapped any pictures or videos of Lemieux’s as was the case in her previous school, South of Oakville Trafalgar High.

Lemieux was put on paid leave in March by the Halton School District after the photo of her teaching shop went viral — angering parents in the district who strongly criticized the school board for failing to impose a stricter dress code on the teacher.

The school was continually subjected to bomb and shooting threats in the wake of the controversy after photos of the larger-breasted teacher went viral.

It’s unclear if Lemieux was fired or left on her own volition as she prepares to start her new job at the neighboring high school.

In an interview with The Post, the teacher adamantly said her breasts were not fake — even after being photographed leaving home without them on.

“I’m not wearing prosthetic breasts. These are real,” Lemieux told The Post back in February.

Acknowledged she can’t prove her claim, she shared she’s “not a transgendered person” but was born “intersex.”

Saying she’s never received a formal diagnosis, Lemieux also claimed her doctor told her she suffers from a condition known as gigantomastia.

“It’s rare, there’s no doubt about it. It affects women on a very rare basis, but in my case, I believe — and my doctor thinks — because I have XX chromosomes as well, that has something to do with it, and hormone sensitivity to estrogen has caused it.”

Denying that she was the male photographed walking on the sidewalk, not donning a blond wig, makeup, and enormous breasts, she said, “This is who I am” while in the outfit.

“This is how I look, Lemieux said. “I am always going out looking the way I am.”

Asked if her appearance ever differed from how she looked at the time, Lemieux said, “I guess if I took my wig off or my makeup off.”
