Tattooed French Guy Upset He Can’t Teach Kindergarten

[budman]

I’m surprised to learn there is hate for religion and age here. Like the younger generation disliking the older or the other way around? I haven’t seen any threads here at all showing hate for any religion and age groups.

It is not always in your face stuff. It shows up here and there.

My take is not many believe in God and the hate so to speak is for those that disrupt the political system with their faith. When those that did believe spoke up they were hit with stones of being an idiot of some sort.

In terms of a barf impact it has sent some really good people packing.

Ageism is directed toward the older /old. Topics where this shows vary and again it is not an every day thing by any means. Shows up here or there.

Old and young people disagreeing is a tradition as old as time itself.

As for religion, its done some nice things for individuals and small communities. It's also had some ghastly outcomes for individuals, families, and society as a whole.

Who's "we"?

Desi-Americans. I’ll give you $100 if you can find a Desi family that will let their kid go into a classroom with a teacher like that. We are never going to be that open minded.

You might also be surprised to learn that “weirdo“ isn’t an expression of hate anymore than “oddball” would be.

So, is this like... $100 per family, or is it just a single offering? I know a number of Desi families who would be perfectly okay with this and I need to know how to prepare my invoice.

 

[DesiDucati]

Are you serious? Now that I think about it, there are second generation Desi families here that give lots of freedom and let their kids do anything. So theoretically, there might be a family but they would be a huge outlier. I’ll have to take back the bet. Sorry.

 

[TylerW]

Aw man.

Still, its weird how you've declared yourself the spokesperson for all Indian culture. There's a lot of it I wouldn't even dare to say I understand, because I'm pretty ignorant to a lot of it. But its not a monoculture, and you are not its representative.

I'm sure there are plenty who aren't that uptight.

Sorry for using the word PC Whackos. I learned it from a pundit’s podcast who some members here dislike. I thought it was a funny term at first. I see now it’s not funny at all and very offensive. I won’t use it again. I really thought the idea of letting this abnormal guy be a kindergarten teacher is a terrible idea. I also thought this is one strange news article everyone opinions would all be agreeing. It’s so simple: Don’t let a scary teacher terrify kids in school. I guess this is just another point of view that Western societies give too much freedom and we really think it can be harmful. But the benefits of living in Western society definitely outweigh the disadvantages so I’m happy to be fortunate living here. Even though I will never understand why some of you think it’s ok for your kids to have that guy teaching your kids, I respect your opinion. I hope you can respect mine. Thanks.

You really should stop watching those podcasts, if you are trying to learn US culture they will rot your brain and take you down bad paths really quick.

Lets just take this as an example. The people who complain about PC culture always complain about it in the context of freedom of speech. I'm not sure which specific pundit you channeled but I can bet they have some discussion of freedom of speech to defend their bigotry.

Now, what you are saying, and what they would probably say now, is by definition an anti free speech sentiment. Saying that this guy, because of how he chose to express himself with his tattoos, should have his rights to work as a teacher - a public employee - limited. These kinds of contradictions are rampant with those types of speakers. As I said, brain rot.

Let's face it. The fact that he's a teacher at all, in France, says something about their culture.

I'm thinking he would never get hired as a teacher anywhere is the US looking like that.

What do you think it says about their culture?

Especially in light of being a country that banned an article of clothing that has cultural and religious importance.

This guy looks like one of the zombies from 28 Days Layer!

It’s totally understandable that he is not qualified to be around kids. If I was a parent, there’s no way I would let my kids near him!

I hope PC whackos don’t turn this into a discussion about zombie discrimination and that zombies have feelings and their rights are violated.

This is about letting little 5 year olds feel safe at school and not have nightmares. If you have kids, would you let them be in his classroom?

But of course. What is the problem?

Exactly! I thought everyone here would think similar. It’s mind blowing!

But one of the best things you can do for young children is create positive associations with Demons, Monsters, and creatures of Horror that the weak humans fear.




I'm not the only one who slept in a coffin when I was 5, right?

LMAO what?

I was referring to the phrase, "Eyes are the window to the soul". From the two articles I read, he had some sort of existential crisis, and tattooing was the straw that he clutched at to make live worth living for himself. That is all fine and dandy, but suggests that the tattoos are a facade, not an expression of the human living behind them, and not a socially acceptable facade shrugged off as a poor fashion choice.

I would be more comfortable having someone with visible prison, or gang, tattoos teach my hypothetical child, than someone who tattoos the whites of their eyes, because it is a much rarer/suspicious deviation from social norms.
