Teachers at Winnipeg, Canada high school suspended after pep rally lap dance Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/02/24/2010-02-24_t

Two teachers are in hot water after their videotaped pep rally dance routine proved too spirited for school officials.

Taken last week at a Winnipeg, Canada high school's pep rally, a video shows a male teacher giving a female teacher a lap dance, with bumping and grinding - and that's making parents and students cringe.

"It embarrassed me. While we were first watching it I said, 'they crossed the line,' " one parent told the Winnipeg Free Press. "My daughter said, 'wait, it gets better.' "

Their pep rally video has become an Internet sensation and has gotten both teachers suspended without pay, a Winnipeg School Division trustee, Mike Babinsky, told the newspaper.

"At first we didn’t realize what was going on," a student at the Churchill High School pep rally told the Free Press. "Once the kids started screaming, it was like, 'oh, my goodness.' I just think the joke went too far."

The student added, he didn't think the teachers' risque prancing warranted a suspension.

"I understand it's a serious thing, but they didn’t mean to hurt anyone."
