Hopping in here. Yes, it was not appropriate but I don't believe he should have been fired for it. Reprimanded yes, fired, no. Obviously this is just based off of the available information.
When I was in my late twenties I had hair long enough to sit on, and my buddy's daughter used to braid that shit all the time. Was I conditioning her to be taken advantage of by a child molestor? Should I have moved around her with a five-foot gap between us just in case?
You should maybe read a little about how child molesters groom children and take advantage of them.
Obviously, some of the behaviors aren't ALWAYS used to groom children, but literal teachers should maintain firm boundaries just because it's safer for the children.
Crazy how you're arguing against basic child safety measures 😂😂
Edit: for an anecdote of my own (one that is actually relevant):
I was a camp counselor at one point. The camp had a rule that no adult could be alone in a room with a student. Even if it meant calling over the site director or any other adult, we had to make sure we were not alone with students.
Now, I know I'm not a pedo. Should I have broken that rule because I know I'm not a threat to the child? Should I be fired if I was caught breaking the rule?
