A private Catholic high school in Vienna is facing criticism after a video surfaced showing a stripper performing inside the school building. The video appeared shortly after another controversy at the same school involving racist costumes worn by students.
The school, De La Salle Marianum, was recently criticized after students from an eighth-grade class dressed up as “slave owners” and “slaves” during a Fasching celebration. A video of the costumes was shared online and quickly caused outrage on social media.
While people were still discussing that incident, another video connected to the school began circulating.
Stripper Performed in the Teachers’ Lounge
The video shows a dancer, Stripperin Candice performing a striptease in the teachers’ lounge. According to reports, the dancer slowly removed clothing during the performance. A teacher and several students who were present appeared to find the situation entertaining.
When the school director learned about the performance, she reportedly stopped it immediately. The school says the incident was handled internally and reported to the local education authority.
Students who say they witnessed the event claim the situation was not made public at the time and was kept within the school.
School Calls It a Graduation Prank
In an official statement, the school said the event took place in 2024 and described it as a low-level graduation prank. School officials also stated that the behavior did not match the institution’s educational values and that the incident was addressed with those involved.
Because two controversial incidents have now been linked to the same school, the situation has raised questions about discipline and supervision. School officials say the matter was already dealt with and that steps were taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
