A schoolteacher whose body, face and tongue are covered in tattoos and who has had the whites of his eyes surgically turned black said he was prevented from teaching at a French kindergarten after a parent complained he scared their child.
But the teacher, Sylvain Helaine, 35, still teaches children from the age of six up, and said that, after an initial shock when they see him for the first time, his pupils see past his appearance.(snip)
He said last year he was teaching kindergarten at the Docteur Morere Elementary School in Palaiseau, a suburb of Paris, when the parents of a three-year-old child complained to educational authorities. They said their son, who was not taught by Helaine, had nightmares after seeing him.
A couple of months later the school authorities informed him he would no longer teach kindergarten children, he said. "I think the decision they took was quite sad," said Helaine.
A spokesman for the local education authority said an agreement was reached with Helaine to move him away from teaching kindergarten. Pupils under six "could be frightened by his appearance", the spokesman said. Despite the setbacks, Helaine said he would stick with his chosen career. "I'm a primary school teacher ... I love my job."(snip)
He said he hoped to show his pupils that they should accept people who are different from the norm. "Maybe when they are adults they will be less racist and less homophobic and more open-minded," he said.

Good discussion here last Monday.
It should.
He’s got Joe Biden Eyes.
I saw what you did there.
What an idiot. His only real option now is to do something where he talks to people over the phone or does product support internet chats. He would give a lot of kindergarteners nightmares.
just to add a touch more detail, it’s wearing lipstick.
How can a kindergardener learn anything from a freak that looks like a cross between a gecko and a flower garden. What a dumbass!
Hell, he’s giving ME nightmares.
Too wide open to be Joe....more Chrissy Wallace.
Just another pervert trying to inure the American populace to demonic ways, through its children no less. Truly disgusting. He may not be queer, but he might as well be, if you look at the harm he does.
If that is the guy, he should NEVER be allowed near small children again.
I don’t care if he’s gay or anything at all. He’s pushing his agenda on little children and that is just wrong.
could work in circus /semi sarcastic
Play Stupid Games and win stupid prizes.
Nooo! You’re kidding me! I just can’t understand it!
I wouldn’t want this freak anywhere near my children.
“his pupils see past his appearance”
Pun intended?
I think it tattooed its lips
France
It puts on the lotion. lol
