I wouldn't do it, but I do not walk in that man's shoes, so who am I to judge ? We see complaints on here all the time about black Fathers (and this man is obviously black) not taking an interest in the raising of their children, and here is a man who loves his enough to want them to do well and do the right things.
We can't have it both ways, people. He didn't beat them, he simply made a point that they were not doing right and he wanted them to do better. Hair grows back, but bad habits last a lifetime. I bet with a Father this watchful of his kids we will not be seeing his kids turn out to be thugs.

Personally, my hat is off to the man.

Next time you make a mistake at work you gonna let your boss give you a bad hair cut so all your coworkers know? Will that teach you to be a better employee?
Race does not matter....the other options are not beating a child...just as this not disipline in the least.

Why is your hat off to a man for treating his child in a way you would not treat your own? Is publicly humiliating a child only acceptable when that child is black?
There is a medium between uninvolved parent and loving parent that doesn't involve degradation, humiliation, or abuse. Many parents, yes, even black parents, manage to raise their children without beating them or shaming them on social media. What this parent did is wrong, and it's just as wrong to lower parenting standards for black children.
Shaming children into behaving is not discipline or teaching them proper conduct.
It's adults being bullies and inventing an excuse.
This. ^ ^

I have a better solution. Why not put misbehaving children in the stocks at a public square in every city? Those passing by could be encouraged to throw rotten fruit at them and hurl insults. That'll teach those kids!
Truly, I am surprised at the number of posts I find here in the parenting forum advocating harsh and punitive treatment for children.
I find it more a mirror into adults sometimes than a true reflection of the problems with their children.
Shaming is not a good idea...I think it would come back in revenge behavior...besides is it
teaching that when you grow up you too can shame, smack, belittle, or embarrass kids...but
they can't do that to adults because it's not nice?
In Atlanta gang rape and armed robbery are considered misbehaving
