Teachers' lap dance 'a little too far' for students

The kids are calling it “Two Teachers, One Chair,” and it has all the makings of a YouTube hit.

But school administrators and parents are hard pressed to find humour in a graphic lap dance caught on video between two teachers at a spirit rally at Churchill High School in Winnipeg last week.

The two teachers, one of whom was identified by students as phys-ed instructor Chrystie Fitchner, have been sent home without pay after the spirit dance before 100 students as young as 13 years old. The identity of the male teacher could not be confirmed. Efforts to reach Ms. Fitchner Tuesday night were unsuccessful.

The whole routine has since been distributed on the Internet, thanks to the footage captured on a student's cellphone camera. The Winnipeg School Division is investigating.

Fourteen-year-old Saigha Vincent was filming the teacher dance-off at the Gym Riot spirit assembly last Wednesday for Grade 9 to 12 students at the Winnipeg high school.

The routine began with the female teacher, sporting pigtails, seated on a chair, her legs spread, hips gyrating. Bumping beats played in the background and the male teacher approached between her legs, his hips swiveling to the beat.

Less than five seconds into the routine, the Grade 9 student and her friends went from giggling to staring at their sometimes very strict instructors in disbelief.

“At first we were laughing and then it was like ‘Oh that's a little too far.'”

But it went even further.

The female teacher threw her head back and thrust her one leg out as the male teacher continued to dance over her. There was butt-slapping and further gyration. Then the man dipped his head down between her legs and simulated oral sex.

“He is sticking his head into her crotch, into her private area,” said outraged Winnipeg school trustee Mike Babinsky, who saw the video Tuesday. “I don't know if they're making contact, but it's way too close.”

He said he is dismayed at the teachers' behaviour and is glad the school is taking disciplinary action against them. He says he is waiting for the investigation to comment on whether he will lobby for further disciplinary action.

“I would expect a higher standard from teachers in any school in Canada,” said the long-serving trustee and father of six children. “I want them to be role models for our kids. I want them to set the bar high.”

Principal Michel Chartrand could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. Winnipeg School Division trustees received an e-mail from the school board Tuesday to decline requests for comment from the media.Meanwhile, concern about the incident continues to ripple through the school.

Thirteen-year-old Grade 8 student Montana Fortier said the “whole school was rattled” after the assembly. Though the assembly was meant for older students, she caught some of it through the gym doors.

“Even a lot of students in Grade 8 or Grade 9 are worried about how this would make the school look.”

actually not at all...Have you noticed how in the past 15 years EVERYTHING has gotten more 'risque' and society accepts it. Were there mini skirts like there was 50 years ago?.. let alone regular skirts nowadays were considered atrociously slutty back then. Music video's have gone from people dancing/doing random shit, to almost every video having nearly completely naked girls dancin around like sluts thinking they're hot shit. It's becoming more and more acceptable dress and act slutty. There would have been NOOOOOO way this would have been accepted back a good few years ago.

You, my good sir hit the nail on the head.

You sound like someone older than I think you are...

how old are you if I may ask?

[SpRi7e]

haha, nah not at all.. I get it almost all the time that people thinking I'm way older than I really am. I'm only 18, but it doesn't mean my standards and views have to be of average people for my age.

Well spri7e in light of the evolution of nakedness, there is a huge difference between doing what those teachers did, in good fun, and what people choose to wear at parties etc.

I for one don't find it very offensive, it clearly was some sort of theme going on and the music etc kinda set the context for the whole thing.

[SpRi7e]

yeah, teachers wouldn't have been able to do that back then, let alone even dance like that

I get what you're saying with people getting stricter on what everyone does, but in general there is WAYY more that gets away with by people then a while ago

[Bubbles]

lets also take into consideration, this is MANITOBA and more specifically Winnipeg, the whole southern manitoba has views on things that are ridiculous, thats why the rest of Canada doesnt take us too seriously.

[Dank]

Crap. YouTube censored it. Any place else where it can be seen?

^Tried looking on Youtube but it's not there. It really wasn't much anyways. Was a shitty grainy video of 2 people far away, one possibly giving the other one a lapdance in a chair...And it was the dude who was doing the lapdance too...So you didn't really miss much

You don't find it very offensive but you're a 20-something. This was done in front of 13 year olds. That's pretty disgusting, let's teach our kids that everything MTV does is right...
