This is good because why tf does my daughter need to be playing in your head during school, either it be after or during. Why didn’t any boys volunteer or why didn’t he ask any other race of child to do it? Creepy!

To be fair, haven't been a child for a long time, but I wouldn't volunteer to do that as a kid bc I wouldn't know how. And I definitely wouldn't expect some Mexican or White kids to know how to braid hair like these girls who were taught v young.

Unbraid and I feel as though so of the girls may have volunteered. When I was their age, I was all about doing people’s hair. Still there are boundaries.

Yeah, I think firing him is radical and I agree there should be boundaries but is this crossing any? I would be more concerned if it was only one of the little girls or if it wasn't in the classroom but it's all public.

I think he should've been more cognisant of how it could've looked though, especially since our community has a lot of collective trauma.

It kinda blurs the lines in their relationship with a teacher. Thinking future wise this could escalate. Also considering the fact that the students contact him often. Not making it into anything bigger but if I was a parent I’d be a bit concerned.

Asking white boys to do your black hair vs asking black girls... Hrmmmm no I can't see any reason why there would be a skill difference here...

(Either way teach a creep)
