An Aldergrove metal fabrication and machining teacher has been suspended for two weeks following a homophobic joke he played on a student.

According to a discipline decision released by the Teachers’ Regulation Branch, Aldergove Community Secondary School teacher Daniel Ogloff placed a piece of masking tape on the back of a male Grade 11 student with the words “I’m gay” written on it. Ogloff did so without the student’s knowledge and allowed him to leave the class with the tape on his back.
