PALAISEAU, France — 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.

“All of my students and their parents were always cool with me because basically they knew me,” said Helaine, who estimated he has spent around 460 hours under the tattooists’ needle.

“It’s only when people see me from far away that they can assume the worst.”

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.... (snip)

I'm a man on the Mike Gundy scale, and I would steer clear of that freak. Not sure how they expect 6 year old kids to not get a bit freaked.

Spends all his free time trying to look like a monster... Loses ability to teach tiny children that are still scared of the dark... Yeah that math checks out. 

And a man that wants to teach kindergarten ... with demonstrably piss poor judgment ... Can we just pre-emptively put him in prison?

I want to appear as far outside the norm as possible but want to be treated as normal.  
 

Uh, OK.

It's a free country to do what you want with your body, but you're teaching 7, and 8 year olds.... nope, fuck that.

There are choices people make that affect the rest of their lives EXHIBIT A ^^^^^^^^

What a stupid motherfucker. Like how do you not understand that life is full of choices. You can choose to be a freak show who tattoos their whole body including their eyes, or you can choose to be a school teacher.

Surely, he can find a teaching job in California ...

I would like to be a fly on the wall if he interviewed at my children's school.

Oh fuck yeah, he'll be a protected class of citizen there.  We provincials here on the east coast are just so behind the times.

The kind with alimony and child support payments.
