screaming about sex education in schools. They didn't want their parental rights infringed upon, but have no problems ramming stomping all over your rights, while ramming their beliefs down your throat.

I'm so glad my children are finished school, (still have one in college) between the shit Texas is doing, teachers using assassination to "teach" math and now this, I worry for the direction of the schools. Schools are meant for education, not indoctrination. It really makes me sad.


Off the Cliff: Elementary students given unborn fetus dolls at school
By karoli Sunday May 23, 2010 7:00am

While all of us are focused on the Texas School Board insanity, it's really important to remember it's not limited to Texas. There are a lot of "off the cliff" school districts, boards and administrators out there. Norfolk, Virginia is a shining example.

Via PilotOnline:

Oakwood Elementary's principal was placed on administrative leave Friday as school officials investigated why life like, 4-inch-long plastic fetus dolls were given to dozens of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students.

On Thursday, the school staffer thought to be responsible for handing out the dolls was placed on leave.

I read this twice to be sure I wasn't imagining it. Seriously? I cannot imagine my reaction as a parent to my child coming home with such an atrocity.

Even though the article didn't mention it specifically, I would be willing to bet the students receiving these "gifts" were girls, not boys, too. That's what we need...to intimidate and indoctrinate the girls at a young age while giving boys a pass. Good job, Virginia.
