>From 10-year-old Jared Harrington's adventures in public education:
Jared was discussing the recent spring turkey hunting season with
a classmate when [teacher Kathleen] Backus interrupted the
conversation, insisting that there be no talk of "killing" in her
classroom.
His mom describes what happens when Jared tried talking about hunting
with a friend during free period snack time:
Jared's teacher covered her ears, trying to block the
conversation, and singing "la la la la." When asked by another school
employee about her odd behavior, the teacher claimed she did not want
to hear about the boys and their "killing."
When his dad tried to talk to the teacher, Backus screeched:
I went hiking this weekend and saw a moose and a bear, and I will
never tell you where they are because you might kill them.
Apparently Backus piled massive amounts of homework on Jared as
punishment for oppressing the animals. His folks have wisely opted for
home schooling.
