A teacher, who was suspended for writing "I'm gay" on a piece of masking tape and sticking it on the back of a student's jacket last year received a second suspension this month.

Daniel Mark Ogloff, a metalwork teacher at Aldergrove Community Secondary School, was first suspended for 10 weeks in November 2013 by the school district for the homophobic prank on the male Grade 11 student.

On Sept. 10 this year, he received a second two-week suspension from the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, according to documents that were recently released. That suspension ends early in October.

Grade 10 student Cameron Snow says he was in his class Sept, 24, 2013, when the incident happened.

"Mr. Ogloff, just as a joke, came up and stuck a sticker on him that said, 'I'm gay, LOL.' We didn't think anything of it. No one did because we always mess around with the teacher and he messes back. He's friendly," said Snow.

Martin Rooney, the founder of Out in Surrey, agrees...
"In this day and age, with all of the conversation regarding gay and lesbian issues in school, and with the transgender issue being forefront, it surprises me there's not a sensitivity," said Rooney.

Dara Parker, executive director of QMunity, say they are stunned a teacher would have done something like this.

"This is just an affirmation that, despite all of the progress that we've made and all of the legal equalities we've achieved, that the day-to-day lived equalities are still not there," said Parker.

"This teacher thought it was acceptable to put a sign that says 'I'm gay' on a student's back. And that's completely wrong."
