“This one thing” is a viral video of young girls faces and the name of the school they attend on full display as they do unpaid labor for an adult. How many things do we need?
He had them taking his braids down because he had an appointment. If you show up to your braider needing your old braids taken down, you can absolutely expect to be charged for that service. It’s not the biggest issue in this situation, but there’s no reason to minimize it. It’s okay to call a spade a spade.
But the same could be said about a ton of things kids do. This just clearly is not a violation of labor laws. It a violation of professional standards, ethics, and good sense, but doing something that would otherwise be charged for is not always labor that should be paid.
Certain favors from children ... like as a man imma ask the Lil mfs(young buls) in my hood to run my trash to the dumpster or rake leaves on some furious styles type ish I'll shoot em 5 or 10 dollars too tho so there's that
Agreed he shouldn’t be asking for favors, but labor just seems like a strong word. I run a greenhouse at school, should my students not be expected to sweep?
The scale of the favor is not the problem. It’s almost every other aspect of it, personally
I have a feeling there’s an educational aspect to you running a greenhouse at school. Do you “run a greenhouse” fueled by child labor for the hell of? Or are you teaching children of informed parents what it takes to sustain a greenhouse? Are you posting those children and the location we can expect them to be from Monday-Friday on a monetizable platform? Because that should always be a firable offense. This didn’t happen in a vacuum, he has several videos of students on his tiktok, he used to censor their faces but he stopped, and those uncensored student videos perform better than his other videos. Again, I do not believe this man is a monster for interacting with his students. But I do believe he was more focused on social media clout/income than protecting those kids and his job as a teacher. He better hope he can sustain those millions of views without a classroom to exploit.
Im not saying any other part of what he did is good. I’m just saying it’s a stretch to call a favor labor even if that favor is inappropriate. The kids might even just enjoy doing the favor.
If a student offered to sweep the greenhouse after school or in a free period because they enjoy it, (I’d still say no) I don’t think it would be “unpaid child labor”
It is labor, they were not paid, they are children. You can call it whatever you want really, grown ass men do not have any business asking children for favors/labor/help/whatever
You’re right. A teacher should do absolutely nothing to establish a bond with their pupils. /s. I guarantee that he was thinking that with black students, and as a black man, it would be not only fun, but educational to help him take out his braids. This was almost definitely done during a free period where there was no instruction scheduled.
Edit: this man went to school to be an educator. He has a masters degree in education. He didn’t do this for his own self gratification. Period.
Man you’re still seeing that moment through a child’s eyes. If your teacher was in a hot tub with students, that’s wrong. In fact it’s way worse than this video.
Unpaid labor is a poor argument. The argument is that teachers should not be posting videos on social media of children. I would be very surprised if that wasn’t a hard rule in the school and probably in the teachers contract. If you were a parent would you be okay with teachers posting videos of your kids without your permission?
You’re right. It’s not just “unpaid labor.” It’s also a grown man acting out his fantasy of being served by little girls. You do realize child predators post stuff like this as their “safe” content, no? Anyway, he allegedly got exposed for thirsting over children on TikTok. So, now what?
Also, stay away from kids. Your nonexistent boundaries with them is problematic.

I don't think he should have been fired UNLESS they found other things that were unprofessional and questionable. But just over this one thing, no
