The dumbest shiat I've seen all year.

Humans are made of magic, not organs! Schools have no right to show ... I'm sorry, I can't keep this up. 10 and 11 year olds can cope with a set of lungs. Hell, at my school they had a human embryo in a jar with the other things in spirits jars.

Which when I think about it now, is actually pretty damn odd.

What
Thefark?

Nancies. My 5th grade teacher had a human embryo - naturally miscarried by her college roommate - floating in alcohol in a baby food jar.

wimps. Each kid in my kindergarten class was issued their own personal blastocyst in a crystal pendant on a golden chain that we wore around our necks all year. At the end-of-year ceremonies, we were solemnly marched up a steep trail to a crevasse in the hillside over a geothermic vent, where we cast our blastocyst pendants into the roiling steam while the principal intoned an incantation to Gaia.

Of all the articles that you read this year that contain the words:
"lung tissue," "brain," "skin," "kidney," "spleen," "human embryos and zygotes" and "Sandwich," this will probably be the least disturbing.

FTFA: The speaker, a pathologist assistant, showed students slides of lung tissue, a brain, skin, a kidney, and a spleen. He also showed human embryos and zygotes, the fertilized female egg that eventually develops into an embryo.

The embryo images angered some parents who consider fifth graders too young to be exposed to such things.

Such things? What things? I seriously have no idea what's objectionable in that article.

Faith in science is evidence of a lack of understanding about what either religion or science actually is.

But the woman in the article understands neither whatsoever. So, let us chortle.

*sigh*

I didn't read the story, but the town's name is Sandwich.
SANDWICH

Afraid of science...NOT afraid of food. Who is teaching the worst possible lesson there; the fatass, diabetic parents, or the teacher?

/In Sandwich, MA.

To see the look in her roommate's eye when she asked, "so, are you going to keep that?"

Actually, that sounds sort of like my favorite cookbook.

WTF? When I was in 5th grade, we got to see actual human fetusesus in medical specimen jars. Nobody ever complained; it was LEARNING! IMAGINE THAT!

I don't know whether to be terrified or aroused.

Yeah, I'm missing it too.

Is it that showing them an embryo might bring them to ask uncomfortable questions to their parents about where babies come from?

It's sad when real life insists on imitating headlines from The Onion....

LOOOOOVE the late green.

Articles worth it for the picture of fatties from "Sandwich, Mass."

SCIENCE!



We weren't afforded any embryos to play with but in fifth grade we were given the whole sex ed thing. Even saw a film of a baby being born, which almost turned me gay. These helicopter parents are getting out of hand. Just home school your kids and let them turn into retards.

What do you have against hot dogs and bologna?

Jesus Christ you farking ignorant douchebags. That age is when you need to be stimulating a kid's imagination, not stifling it.

How is babby formed?

actually, that's kind of horrifying.

Some people get creeped out by human remains. Some people don't like it when the crematorium uses left over ashes to grit the path in the winter. Some people don't like it when you serve them cream of brain soup in a bowl handcrafted from the skull of a census taker.

You can't expect everyone to be as utilitarianly emotionless and intellectually advanced as you are.

I have an idea as to why the town is called Sandwich.

I find the image of these fatties:


way more offensive to my eyes than this:

Because the two guys in the picture are totally going to double-team the chick in the middle? Talk about roast beef, am I right?

//Oh, god, I'm so sorry. But I'm going to hit post anyway.

I'm surprised the abortion angle wasn't played up by these inDUHviduals.

I like that other book better How to cook forty humans

Never ceases to amaze me how many idiots think that squeezing a lump of crotch-fruit out into the world grants them certification in education.

We can't go around teaching children - CHILDREN, of all people - that the world is full of reality. That's just crazy talk.

Caturday in the making, totally pornographic, seriously.

\people are dumb

doglover: Faith in science

Le sigh...

Rev_Obijuan: Never ceases to amaze me how many idiots think that squeezing a lump of crotch-fruit out into the world grants them certification in education.

Yes, in a perfect world, all children will be grown in jars and entirely raised by the state.

And in a perfect world people wouldn't respond to each other with hyperbolic non-sequitur.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT I ONCE HAD GILLS AND A TAIL FARK YOU MR. DARWIN!

Now if one of the projects included pictures of naked people, then maybe but not pictures that I bet was taken out of the text book. Because I seriously don't believe that any kid in that class went out looking for a real embryo to photograph.

I'm a bigger fan of How to Cook for Forty Humans. Great for dinner parties.

Wow...

Lol, yeah, I half way wonder whether this is a new brand (or really just rehashed, its been done before, in fact some of Bevets arguments follow along these lines) of creationist tactic, instead of just denying the way reality presents its self, start barely asserting that reality is pornographic and dangerous to the minds it's presented. I guess its naturally their next option anyway if they aren't amongst this group of regressives already.

That's the stuff that made classes interesting, not looking at lame pictures in ratty text books.

If those teachers face any "disciplinary action", I for one would pitch in if they decided to go after the school board...

/dammit people like that piss me off.

Holy shiat that's awesome.
