I’ll bet Men in Black brought the idiot to tears.

[SoldierDad]

I guess I’ll need to increase my efforts to stomp on insects at every opportunity.

[Little Pig]

All you “it’s a living thing” activists need to stop living immediately. Your bodies are slaughtering millions of innocent bacteria and benign parasites every day.

[girlangler]

Dang, yank and I were going to create the “Save A bug” program. Were going to have people send us money to trap cockroaches and release them at PETA’s headquarters.

We planned on sending donors a personal photo of their sponsored bug, and updates on their well being.

[Niteranger68]

You couldn’t pay people to act this stupid.

[SoldierDad]

"I'm not trying to turn them into bug activists. But I hear these kids say how cool it is when they shot this person in a video game or how cool these bloody movies are, and I'm concerned. That made me think."

Judging from how eco-terrorist have been willing to employ violent actions against law abiding citizens, I'd guess her attempts a developing a kinder, more gentle elementary school is doomed to failure with this tact.

[MacDorcha]

“What we promote is trying to stop senseless slaughter, just people being afraid of things they know absolutely nothing about,” he said. “Once they understand it’s not harmful, they don’t hurt them, and they become a little bit more tolerant.”

...and bed-ridden as they become infested with diseases the bugs were carrying.

Same logic applies to illegal aliens.

Now, if any creepy-crawly wanders into her classroom at Eagle Rock Elementary School & Magnet Center, the student bug monitor swoops in with a paper towel or napkin, scoops up the critter and shepherds it outside.

I agree with the teacher. I do the same thing in my house.

[bmwcyle]

I’d kick that teacher and throw bees on her.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Try going to a jungle and see if you feel the same way about bugs.
Every day liberals go out of their way to prove that they are start raving mad.

[trisham]

Too bad it’s too cold here for bugs.

[ukie55]

When Eagle Rock teacher Melodie Conrad saw a student stomp on a bug several years ago, she knew she had to do something.

God help us that people like this are *teaching* our children.

[jazusamo]

Leave it to a teacher in Eagle Rock to teach PC.

A little violence is good for our kids, especially in the form of bug killing. If they’re indoors, they’re fair game. LOL

Outdoors is a different story.

[ukie55]

"Once they understand it's not harmful, they don't hurt them, and they become a little bit more tolerant."

If I don't recognize it, I'm not taking any chances.

Not harmful? Tell that to someone who's allergic to them.

[Marko413]

As long as the bug isn’t deadly or thrive on trash (i.e. flies, cockroaches, etc), I’ll scoop them up and toss them out the window.

Still... a bug monitor job? I think that’s a bit much. I do this because I choose to, but I don’t lose sleep over the fact that others don’t. Nor am I going to try and force others to do it.

[Between the Lines]

Kinda makes me wish for some type of infestation. Locusts perhaps. ; )

[Charles Martel]

I'm guessing that *this* isn't on the reading list:

[wagglebee]

"I absolutely just feel like we live in a society where violence is prevalent, and I've seen that over the years I've been teaching. I just wanted to be careful that they're exposed to just the opposite in this room," said Conrad, a 21-year teaching veteran.

There are over 275,000 abortions per year in California (more than one out of three pregnancies in California ends with an abortion), is she teaching them about THIS uneccessary violence?

[Doomonyou]

If it was my classroom...

[GovernmentShrinker]

Sounds good to me. There’s something wrong with a kid whose first instinct upon seeing something that’s alive and not bothering them is to kill it. It’s not a bad thing to nip such habits in the bud.
