Dad takes son to get nails painted after teacher says it's 'only for girls'

A man has fought back at his son's teacher who claimed "painting your nails is only for girls" by taking him to get a manicure. Christian Shearhod, from California, America, wanted to rewrite what his three-year-old son, Ashton, had learned in class, and instead teach him a valuable lesson about gender equality.

In a TikTok video, Christian, who is known as @mr.shearhod on the app, explained how Ashton came home "really upset" one day after hearing his teacher say he shouldn't paint his nails because he is a boy, not a girl. He said: "My son's teacher told him he shouldn't paint his nails... so today, I'm taking him to the nail shop."
