*A French teacher says he is banned from teaching kindergarten due to his tattoos and overall appearance.

35-year-old Sylvain Helaine taught at the Docteur Morere Elementary School in Palaiseau (France) and was terminated from the school after a child told his parents he was scared of Helaine’s appearance.

Helaine said the child was not in his class but he was removed after the parents filed a complaint then banned from teaching children under the age of 6. Throughout his 12-year teaching career, Helaine has only received a few comments from parents about his tattoos.

He also underwent surgery to have his eyeballs and tongue permanently darkened three years ago along with tattooing his entire body. “They didn’t even try to convince the parent that I was a good teacher and that I had a lot of experience … I felt betrayed by them and I’m a bit sad.”
