The NEA is pushing it agenda full throttle. My 11 year old daughter had to write a paragraph recently titled 'Why I am choosing to be a vegetarian.' Her response:

I am not choosing to be a vegetarian, so deal with it.

The teacher contacted me because of her 'flippant' response and I told her and the school principle that my daughter would be happy to turn in a paragraph with the prompt 'Choose either to be a vegetarian or a carnivore and support your choice,' but she would not write a paper on a personal choice that someone else made for her.

Why I am choosing to be a vegetarian. Why am I choosing to be an omnivore. People have two types of teeth. Flat teeth in the back. Sharp teeth in the front. The flat teeth in the back are for chewing plants. The front teeth are for ripping blood rare meat from a freshly shot four legged beast or freshly hooked and gutted finned water animal. I exercise both of my teeth types. There we go. Much better.

Bravo for your daughter!

Now, give her a good solid course in flippancy. This teacher deserves it.

A couple of good paragraphs on 'Why Education Majors Shouldn't Be Allowed Anywhere Near A Public School' should do the trick.

Bravo. If the school continues to press the issue, have your daughter submit an essay examining the rhyme and meter found in the old vegetarian classic: "Beans, Beans, the Musical Food".
