An elementary school teacher is no longer employed in the Saanich district following a controversy over a video clip he showed in his classroom.
Joe Winkler said he inadvertently showed a clip in early April that included a partially visible naked woman on a beach. He was put on paid leave.
District officials investigated, and it was announced that Winkler would not return to his Grade 4-5 class at Keating Elementary during the 2014-15 school year.
No further details about Winkler’s departure were available.
Winkler was given a brief suspension in 2012 for showing a video with men in bikinis to a Grade 4 class at Brentwood Elementary, something he said was meant to encourage discussion on transgender issues.
