Lol Yes. If he got the position with these tats/dyeing then they were crazy to hire him. If he acquired them through the years he is an idiot. Either way I know he wouldn't be fired in California. He would get paid leave. What do you think feo? Oh! And I taught kindergarten. So I know how impressionable they are.

I've got 3 tattoos. But they're small and easily hidden. People who get tattoos in places that aren't hideable have poor judgment. Can't blame anyone for firing him.

Gosh, I guess I'm just getting old and conservative, and maybe looking like an alien is the wave of the future, but I can't blame the school for firing him. And he really can't act too surprised because I'd think most people would find his appearance to be unsettling and quite distracting. He had the whites of his eyes removed??? Wtf? I'm glad the school got rid of this freakshow. Also, he referred to undergoing an existential crisis (i.e., nervous breakdown) and I'm just wondering if him teaching young kids is something he seeks out because it makes him feel less threatened. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) But young children shouldn't have to deal with any of that kind of thing. "regular guy" my ass! Oh, and his comment "maybe they [his former kindergarten pupils] will be less racist and less homophobic and more understanding when they become adults" is an entirely wrongheaded thing to say because 1) young children are NEVER going to be homophobic and racist (what the hell do homophobia and racism have to do this anyway?) It is only when kids grow up that they may then learn to become racist or homophobic and 2) the way he states the case it's like he sees himself as being victimized by a bunch of six year olds and that's some pathological shit right there.

BTW, from the sound of things you should be in the classroom learning with the kids. Your mentality demonstrates that.

I said his appearance would be scary to anybody, especially children. Not only does he resemble an alien monster, but he chose this for himself. Actions have consequences. Like it or not, this is how the real world works. And I doubt this guy has much of a sense of the real world. Maybe he does like working with young children, but I bet you anything this is because adults intimidate him. I'd say he's a very frightened soul and has turned into something that does not look much like a human in order to keep all these frightening, scary people at bay. I guess I was harsh when I called him a freakshow. He is to be pitied.

Absolutely. Almost his entire body? Including his eyes???
Ridiculous.
Kids today are more inattentive than ever they don't need to read or be mesmerized by their teacher's body art!
If teachers could be removed from the classroom for being arrested for drunk driving (nyc) there should be higher standards for teachers EVERYWHERE!!!
In general, I wouldn't want him near my children of any age because he lacks common sense judgment.

In general, I wouldn't want him near my children of any age because he lacks common sense judgment. Exactly. And I'm sure that if he were teaching, the little kids would have tons of questions about his tattoos. And given the obvious attention seeking behavior of the guy, he would probably just love telling them all about it. I don't know that he would be a good role model, especially for such young children. "Be yourself! **** society!" Anarchy or bust!" I can just see it. On a less sarcastic note, if the guy did do something or was teaching something inappropriate in the classroom, the school could get in serious trouble for not detecting the OBVIOUS warning signs and responding accordingly. Obviously the school cannot be faulted for what they did. I just wonder what these people who go to such extreme lengths to modify their physical appearance are going to do when they outgrow their youth? I mean I wouldn't be at all surprised if they regretted their arguably reckless decisions later on down the road.

I couldn't even keep my septum ring in my nose (don't ask, it was something I had only in my early twenties) when I was working retail. I'm not sure what this guy expected, considering the fact that he works with children.

I think it was absolutely wrong to dismiss him just because his students felt "uncomfortable." They were placating parents over appearance. This reminds me when parents didn't want black teachers because that made them "uncomfortable," or "gay" teachers, all because of feeling "uncomfortable."
Instead, how about this man take some time and explain his "scary tattoos" to these children, especially while they're young, so they don't freak out based on what other people "look like?" How about we start teaching kids not to be afraid and judgmental based on appearance? How about we let someone's work speak for itself? What's next, we don't like a black woman's dredlocks because they look "scary" so we fire her? What gives her more protection than, let's say, a lesbian or gay man who is obvious?
This sends a very dreadful and superficial message to children.

This sends a very dreadful and superficial message to children. I agree with your examples, but none of the examples correlate with this French bloke. Not even close. To suggest that an effeminate gay man or a black woman with dreadlocks can compare with this demonic apparition is ridiculous as well as disingenuous. This guy wanted to be scary. Well, he succeeded. There was no way that he didn't know that he was going to a lot of stares, ESPECIALLY with children and now he's acting surprised and put down. Nope, he doesn't get to have it both ways. And what's he going to say to kindergartners (!!!) about looking like a creature from another planet? A lot of these little kids are already going to be anxious and fearful about going to school. This is a new experience for many of them. Going to school is a big enough deal. But then to force them to have to spend their first day away from home with some sub-Satanic looking thing! No, no, no! This is going to TRAUMATIZE more than a few kids and to try and for you to suggest otherwise is naive at best. And if the parents don't want to expose their child to this horror for a whole year, then that is their damn prerogative! And did another poster say that this guy wanted to keep on getting tattoos until his skin turned black?!!! You really think this is not going to scare children half way to a very early death? What can you be thinking? This guy is a straight up whack job. If this guy really wants to teach, then he can teach at a college where the students are all adults and can make up their own mind whether or not they want to test their fear threshold and jump into the abyss. Or he can teach at a school for the blind. Sheesh!

This sends a very dreadful and superficial message to children. Different dynamic. Sexuality and skin color is genetic and innate, not about what people look like, its just who they are and the package they come with. Tattoo's come after the fact and are done by personal choice. They do not need explaining to children. This is more about this man's psyche and obsession. Why do kids need to know about whatever obsessive compulsion he has in the need to layer after layer darken himself and look demonic? They might as well go ahead and hire a cross-dressing, Satan worshipping crackhead so the person can tell the little ones all about his various idiosyncrasies. I mean they have to learn how everybody's different and must practice tolerance, so get them while they're young.
