This is for a biology class.
Vegan activists demand right to opt out of animal dissection in biology classes at GWU
A George Washington University student group has gathered more than 20,000 signatures on a petition demanding the school let students opt out of animal dissections in some biology classes.
Forcing students to “use animals in a way that the student objects to for any reason is “greatly unethical and dishonorable,” and it’s “traumatizing,” the petition reads:
We insist that all students be allowed to choose not to participate in classroom exercises that are harmful to animals, in particular, dissections. All students who are not pursuing a degree in biology and therefore are in non-major biology courses must be given the option to use humane alternatives such as virtual lab programs and must never be penalized for choosing these alternatives. more
Any of these sanctimonious twatwaffles plan on becoming physicians?
Aren’t there any vegan, gluten free, content free left wing universities their parents can spend $50,000 per semester to send them to? No? Let’s start one!
They’d probably be perfectly happy slicng up a truckload of Planned Parenthood’s product.
Don’t the Vegans realize they don’t have to EAT the animals they dissect…?
🙂
If you tried to make stuff up like this you would fail due to the constraints of logic, wisdom and the understanding of how one gets an education. The curse of being a conservative.
Why can’t they cut up vegetables?
Didn’t you ever see
“The Silence of the Yams”…?
By ball means, shitheads! Feel free to opt out. Nobody is putting a gun to your head.
Just don’t expect to pass the class.
Uh, that /\ would be “all” means…
They’re already dead you effin’ pussies!
If so then I’m not letting a GWU doctor operate on me.
There’s a simple response to that. Just tell them sure you can opt out but that means you can’t go into any form or medicine including research or veterinary medicine. If you have no interest in those then you can pass on dissection. But why are you taking biology?
I see the source of their ethical dilemma. They obviously believe that you should not kill an animal unless you are going to eat it, too.
Provide them with wok pans for their Bunsen burners.
Rush was discussing this the other day. We now have a campus culture made up of twenty somethings that have been told from birth that they are individually so perfectly special that nobody in the whole wide world is more important than they are. Now that they are encountering others that are also equally perfectly special, none of them can cope.
You have professors on campus that don’t dare grade below a B- for fear of a no-shit full blown meltdown in class, followed by a relentless Facebook and Twitter attack against that professor personally, and his family. Some of these professors fear grading students accurately because they may trigger a suicide or campus shooting from some tender soul who looks at any shortcoming as a personal life failure that is beyond recovery.
There are stories all over the country about “problem students” with all kinds of behavioral problems who not only cannot cope with stress of any kind, but think they can also tailor make the “education” they receive and cherry pick the facts they choose to accept.
This shooter in Roseburg Oregon is looking more and more like a perfect example of a flamed-out C-minus misfit whose family tried to deal with his anti-social behavior with firearms. This guy sounds like a 26 year old Sandy Hook shooter who (Thank God) did not hit a Kindergarten class this time.
Scary times boys and girls.
Yeah, right. I want one of those douchbags to operate on me.
Egg-zackly.
