"She says he showed students how to make methamphetamines, and she has the video to prove it."
Great. The cops better hope none of those students blow up their houses...
Where did she get the video???
HOLY S**T , if this is real , I could just chew nails , kids will be kids , do we remember whe we were young?? Recall the video of LEO discharging a round in the classroom??
Seems like much ado over nothing. Any kid inclined to produce/sell/use meth is going to be able to discover that information for himself, most likely via the internet. It's not like a bunch of good kids are going to see that presentation and go "woah, it's that easy?!? I'm going to give this a shot!" Making a drug is much more complicated than mixing a few chemicals together.
Next week's lesson--The Dangers of Gunpowder Learned by Making It.
</sarcasm>
Then why isn't the school teaching fundamentals of chemistry rather than pharmacology?
Un.
Effing.
Believable.
Look, I just got home from work, did I read this correctly? They were teaching the kids how too make meth????????????????? My G-d how freaking insane are these nutcases???????????? Heads should friggin' role for this blatent display of idiocy! What next ? Crack 101 ? Advanced teachings of needle insertion? I'll go ahead and start saving money too bail me out of jail, if this happens in schools here. This can NOT be tolerated.

When I was in high school chemistry we did science projects. One guy had a model os a samll still. He presented how to make corn squeezing. I could take one look a that still and tell it had been used. More then just for class.
Well, at least they'll make more money at their lemonade stands this summer . . .
In my AP chemistry class, we made explosives as well as aan alcohol still. Of course, the teacher didn't know, he thought we were working on the real assignment. The explosives were quite powerful.
A dear friend is a casualty to meth, and we can only figure he is surviving by brewing it in his bathtub and selling it to keep up his own habit. It's gutwrenching to watch him kill himself. And so my reaction is one of total disbelief and anger.
Jersey Republican Biker Chick, you're right, kids can get the recipe on the web. It's one thing to seek it out; it's quite another to have it brought to you.
The hotshot cop is a glory seeking idiot.
Ever see the skit from Chapelle's Show where the teacher invites a junkie (Chapelle) to come in and talk about the perils of drugs? The junkie just goes on and on about where to get the best stuff, which stuff is bad, etc., and the kids all start writing it down...
M'kay drugs are bad. Sounds like an episode of South Park.
"Class, next week we'll learn how to nitrate corn starch to make real explosives, not that wimpy stuff they do with fertilizer. Everyone be sure to bring 2 pounds of corn starch with them on Tuesday."
The cop was just trying to ensure job security by training a new generation of meth addicts.
Class! bang goes down the hickory stick upon the marble topped lab table in Maddam Hillary Junior High School.
Today for your final tasks in this years pre-physics class we are going to assemble a low yield atomic bomb. So, whack, whack, pay attention class. I don't want any of you marble heads to get this wrong. A lot of tax payers monies went into building this school. So I don't want you to blow it up.
Whack, Johny, get your little gruby hands out of that pile of plutonium, your greasy dirty hands might move the two piles to close together. Jill stop laughing in the back of the room, just because you still cannot count all ten of your toes does not mean you are here to disrupt the class from learning very valuable lessons in science. Whack whack, pay attention class!
