WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg high school teacher is being investigated over social media comments about aboriginals that showed up on a Facebook page under his name.
A complaint was filed against Kelvin High School teacher Brad Badiuk after comments appeared that portrayed aboriginals as complaining about the past and seeking to grab the money of non-natives.

Kevin Hart, who works with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and who filed the complaint, said he is hurt and angry that someone who educates children could hold such views.
Hart complained to the Winnipeg School Division, which has filed an investigation and is determining whether the comments were in fact posted by Badiuk.
