What baffles me - or rather puts me in total shock and awe - is the sheer audaciousness of it!
I mean, it's like performance art x a million. To have the front to rock up to a school looking like that and working with youngsters and maintain one's stance throughout is staunch, albeit bizarre.
Also IMO it's abusive to the kids as it's boundary violating and has not taken their lived experience and feelings into account, it's so selfish even if it's a performance art or making a political commentary or just being an agitator.
Does this man have some backing and an organisation behind him? I don't know how emotionally he could have survived this time himself.
Somewhere he must have friends, family members, neighbours, maybe even children and a partner, parents, and colleagues he was good friends with who are going WTF are you doing??
