"Why won't men work with kids, must be toxic masculinity!"

"That guy works with kids? Ew, must be a pedo!"

They never seem to connect the two.

Put it down as discrimination as women are permitted to high five children as the article itself notes.

Society constantly shits on men, you have to wonder how much longer men will offer their services - lollipop man (crossing guard to the colonials) isn't like a normal job; they're often retired and known members of the local community - its not something they do for the pay. I do wonder how long until we all just say "no, not even if you paid me" - scout leaders, teachers, sports coaches, you name it, no good deed goes unpunished in the new world order. I used to tutor, I won't do it now, I used to do after school STEM projects, I wouldn't do that now

Really sad to see people unable to draw meaningful connections simply for fear of a small group of moralizers going after them. I have seen somewhat similar things happen to women (on a lesser scale), but I do not think any woman would be accused of grooming for giving out high fives.

He should sue them for sexual harassment for implying he's a pervert when they sexualized his normal human behaviour, followed by sex discrimination if he can prove they said it because he's male, followed by creating a hostile work environment for placing him in a position where his only logical move was to quit his job since they they were watching him with the notion that he's a bad person.

But it's ok for female teachers to molest their male students. /s

And now those kids don't get to high five the cool crossing guard guy.
