A teacher in a central Manitoba town has sparked controversy by forcing students accused of bullying to wear hockey helmets bearing the slogans "loser" and "I'm stupid: I bully."
The students, who didn't deny they harassed another boy, were also subjected to jibes from other children during a role-playing exercise.
They were told to clean floors in the school.
Some parents said they were outraged by the teacher's approach, calling the punishment unethical.
