I am glad this is getting publicity and that the school system is not going
to do this anymore. But there is something I have to
mention. I've read several articles on this matter. This one
does not mention that the parents of these students were asked to sign a
permission slip of some sort allowing their children to witness this and a
number of students did opt out of witnessing this.
This was not a requirement and there were students who exercised their
option to not attend.
While that does not condone what the kids witnessed, what the vet did, or
what the teacher organized, it does make me wonder what these kids who were
"horrified" and their parents were thinking when they signed the OK to
participate. Wouldn't it have sent a far clearer message if every student
in the class had opted out of watching this at the time the permission slips
were distributed? Shouldn't we applaud the students who exercised their
option to not participate before we applaud students who agreed to watch this
and are now "horrified" by what they saw and talking about it?
Sorry, I just had to speak up.

That's horrifying. I've written a letter of protest to the superintendent. Will also write to the Board. Thanks for posting. -----Original Message-----
