An art teacher in New Jersey is facing criticism from some parents who believe her body shape is a distraction to her students.
The parents held a group intervention and demanded that the authorities remove the teacher from the school system, claiming that her curves could hinder the children’s focus in class.
The teacher, known as “Toy Box” on Instagram, often shares photos of herself in the classroom and other activities.
The story gained attention outside of school, making headlines. Along with Instagram, she is active on various social media platforms.
In response to the controversy, the teacher took to Instagram Live to address the situation. She expressed surprise at the focus on her figure, and she described feeling hurt by the discrimination, body shaming, and bullying she experienced.
Despite the mixed reactions from parents, she remains committed to her time with the children and appreciates the support she has received from some parents.
