Education authorities in southern India have suspended a teacher for forcing his students to eat cow dung.
It's believed the teacher imposed the punishment because pupils laughed when he fell off a chair while sleeping in the classroom.
The teacher, Basavarajappa, has been accused of ordering a student to bring cow dung into the classroom and making his colleagues eat it - four times.
Parents made complaints to the management of the government school at Arundi after the children refused to attend classes.
When the school management apparently failed to act on the complaints, the parents took the matter to education officials who ordered the teacher's suspension.
:^) I think its hysterical the way the pronunication of Pipeline, HI is changing from "Pie-plien" to "Pippay-linnay".
Maybe we can use this tactic in Iraq - feed the prisoners pork sh*t!
Cows only digest about 15 percent of its intake. The kids were mainly eating grass or straw, or weeds, whatever the poor cow could find to eat in southern India. The Buddists aren't known for taking good care of them.
How do you MAKE someone eat something?? Why would ANYONE help the teacher by bringing in dung?
Err slight error,South India has few Buddhists.India is a Hindu majority secular democracy & it is Hindus who consider the cow as a sacred animal .South India has about 60 % of India's population of 24 million odd Christians & quiet a few Muslims as well.
I was thinking that >>after<< I posted it.
The "quiet" Muslims are what the world needs. LOL
That bears repeating. :)
