Maine teacher sorry for mock wedding to 4th grader

A fourth-grade teacher in Falmouth, Maine, has apologized for playing the groom in a mock wedding to a student.

[I am sick too]

I'm sick that this poor guy is getting grief over playing a simple game of make believe with his students! What is this world coming to? Now adults cannot even play with kids out of fear of parents thinking the worst. I find it sad that men especially get this automatic suspicion thrown at them. I am a woman, I asked my friend to meet my son and I at the park and he said he'd come a little after the time we're going to meet there because a single guy at the park alone gets a lot of suspicious looks - I NEVER thought of that, because it doesn't happen to me. It's sad.

It's Maine. You have to make allowances.

What exactly do you mean by that comment?

[YESSS]

It's called playing pretend. All kids do it and ask their adult counterparts to join.

I mean it probably wasn't the best judgment knowing the type of society we live in but honestly, it's not worth a news story.

This world is getting ridiculous.
