Adrienne Pine is a militant medical anthropologist who has worked in Honduras, Mexico, Korea, the United States, and Egypt.
Brown, Berkley, Berkley, Berkley...yep, I think I see the trend there. Obviously a front-line soldier in the war agains womyn...
She brought a child with a fever into the classroom. What a selfish bitch.
Who was obviously impregnated artificially.
And another thing, her baby daughter woke up with a fever, and her worry was that she had no good child-care options. What a selfish bitch.
Maybe she’s a lefty and hates this country, but I can’t disapprove of what she did. This is what a loving mother does when she has to. Sometimes women have sick babies. We can’t abandon them, and we can’t chuck them into daycare if they’re sick (not that I would anyway). Anybody who can’t deal with the non-sight of a fifteen-pound lump of baby under a woman’s shirt has big problems.
I do not have a problem with the teacher breast feeding her baby in class......I do have a problem with her hauling around a baby with a fever to the class.
If hey baby had a fever, why didn’t the mom seek medical attention.
So, apparently she thinks Hondurans are obsessed with violence...wonder what her views on illegal immigration would be?/s (I guess a little drywall-hanging or landscaping in L.A. would gentle ‘em right quick)/s No I am NOT trying to hijack the thread...I just CANNOT understand how these people think!!!
What is the issue.
A mother breastfeeding her child is natural.
Pine tar baby?
A sick baby should not be crawling around a classroom floor. Did this mother even know what the baby was sick with? She had no problem with the teaching assistant caring for the baby. What does she do about feeding the baby when she does not bring her to the classroom? I guess staying home with her sick child was out of the question.
I have to vote for the boobies. Set the boobies free.
This “militant” teacher is dumber than a box of rocks. She should have stayed home with her sick kid and nursed it there instead of bringing it to class to make a statement.
She shouldn’t bring a kid to class, nursing or not. What would this idiot do should she show up to class one day and all the female students had brought their crumb crunchers?
I'll just bet she collaborated.
I also have to wonder if she and her ilk will refer to Obama's November defeat as "an electoral coup by the bourgeoisie".
Call in sick, stay home, take care of your baby.
The world won’t stop turning no matter how important you think you are.
Even for radical leftist womyn without husbands.
Ich bin ein kid weaner.
If any of my kids have a fever, they can’t be at school. Period. I’ve had to bring my kids home w/fevers and keep them at home until it’s been gone for 24 hours. Not only is it good for my kids to get that time to rest, but it protects their classmates and teachers from getting sick and passing it on to their families and others they have contact with.
I’ve had my days thrown into chaos because of sick kids, and I have had to miss events or other important meetings because of it. I wouldn’t dream of dragging my sick children somewhere just to go to a PTO meeting or do the grocery shopping.
I guess since she’s an important ‘professor’ it means she can drag her sick infant to a roomful of students and doesn’t have to rework her schedule. The world would not have ended if she found a sub or cancelled that day’s class (given the name of the class, it probably would have been a favor to cancel). We stay-at-home moms don’t rate so high as this important ‘professor’ I suppose.
Being a mother (or father) means that sometimes you have to think beyond your own belly button and take care of the human beings you procreated. I’m sorry she (and a few posters on FR) don’t see that. It has little to do with the breastfeeding thing.
I would be in her bosses office that day. She does not have the right to expose me to a virus.
“Sex, Gender, and Culture” would be a very interesting class if taught correctly.
It might even put normalizing homosexual “marriage” into perspective. Never been done ever throughout history, even in places where homosexuality among young people was rampant. Marriage was still always between a man and a woman.
But anyway, prof proves that she is from a culture that does not value women and that she doesn’t either. When a baby is sick, a mother’s first priority needs to be that baby.
To me , it’s not about breast feeding. That is human and normal. It’s about dragging your sick baby to work.
I liked boobies when I was a baby,
I still like boobies now.
When I was little I liked boobies
Better than the Borden cow.
One sad day my mommy said
I was too big for the boob...
I howled and cried, fit to be tied!
I thought she was very rude.
I thought I’d die without the booby,
But mom had a clever trick:
I forgot her taste when the Borden was laced
With 3 spoonfuls of Nestle’s Quik.
