Just for the optics reasons alone, you don't do this. He may not have any ill intentions, but you don't set yourself up like this and as a parent, you don't let this go on because someone who may have ill intentions is going to try to slip under this banner. Also, all that has to happen is he has a falling out with one of these girls because they are acting out in class and he goes to discipline her and she lobs an accusation at him.
There's also a vid of him holding a lizard while getting his hair braided and one of those girls are reaching over to pet the lizard. Nah,
Also, HE may not have anything going on in his mind, but what is he going to do if while petting that lizard, one of those girls takes a swipe at his lap? If one of those girls ups the ante and he rejects it or those other girls call that girl a ho and she's feeling embarrassed and now he's in a situation where either the girl is mad or embarrassed and he has an accusation on his hands
When you normalize all of this buddy, buddy, feely touching, you also open the door to predators to try to slip in. Imagine some perverted teacher sayiing something like, "How is it different that she's sitting on my lap? My lap isn't that different from a chair and I just wanted to make sure she wasn't tired and focused for class. That's your sick mind making something out of it that it isn't." "Oh, that was just an innocent massage. You're the one making it sexual. Sports players get massages all the time."
Nah, you don't let all of this cozy, cozy, buddy buddy stuff go on. I don't think bruh should be fired, but somebody needs to sit him down and tell him to cut it out.
