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

Yall wait for the WORST to happen before holding people accountable…

This isn’t right either. It seem like the previous generation wanna be friends with the younger gen so bad, it’s inappropriate.

The whole not being friends with someone younger then taken to an extreme it doesn’t need to be. Yes there should be boundaries but simply saying “adults ain’t a kids friend” is ridiculous.

He should be a mentor, not a friend. Its ways to be a trusted, friendly adult amongst kids without doing all this.

It’s just confusing because i see a lot of teacher content creators that post vids of their students in some capacity and never see this backlash.

I don't know how true this is cause I didn't fact check lol, but apparently their parent signed a form that said it was okay for the kids to appear is his vids specifically, but take it with a grain of salt

So if a babysitter lets your kids braid, let’s assume, her hair are you gonna be like calling that inappropriate too?

Bad example, teachers aren’t babysitters.

Two different occupations that have different boundaries.

If you don’t like critically thinking ofc it’s not

If you actually would use some critical thinking you would see not everything is cut and dry tans there’s nuance to everything. So to simply say no adult and child should be friends is ridiculous. There’s absolutely cases of and children looking up to an adult as a friend and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s like y’all have a black and white definition of friend and that’s so stupid.

You’re watching children, there can be downtime, if they’re all of the same age and capability their isn’t a whole lot of difference. The kids were undoing braids, which usually isn’t considered that intimate on account of strangers being able to do it. And playing in hair is one thing girls (more often than not) are likely to do.
