The principal of a Manitoba school where two students were duped into chewing moose droppings is now on leave.
The principal, a teacher and a resource officer at Walter Whyte School in Grand Marais, Man., watched as an adult chaperone passed off the poop as chocolate-covered almonds during a school-organized canoe trip on May 25.
Two Grade 8 teens were the victims of the prank.
Parents were told the principal is on leave right now and will not be returning to the school.
According to Karen Eyolfson, whose 13-year-old son was one of the students, the parent chaperone offered the so-called almonds from a sandwich baggie.
When her son ran off to wash out his mouth, a 13-year-old female classmate who didn't witness the incident was also tricked by the same adults into eating the droppings, Eyolfson said.
The girl got it stuck in her braces and was humiliated, said Eyolfson.
The staff members were all disciplined in some way for not intervening.
