Students forced to write paper on Why We Should NOT Own Pit Bulls!
Warning!
I will NOT tolerate hate comments towards any breeds on my blogs…I WILL delete them. There is enough prejudice in this world, I will have no part of it here.
And for the sheeple who listen to the media…
Well, there are more attacks from small dogs in the US than pitbulls, but they do not make a “juicy” story!
It’s the owner, not the breeds fault.

Students forced to write paper on Why We Should NOT Own Pit Bulls!
by Amber Kay on Thursday, May 5, 2011
Hello Fellow Pit Bull Lovers!
I am writing to you to
gain support for my 16 year old son who is being forced by his High
School English teacher to write a paper entitled, “People Should NOT own
Pit Bulls”.

After my husband died, my family dived
headlong into dog rescue, and it was very helpful in the healing process
for us. We worked with Bully Paws and often times took in pregnant,
abused pits and nursed them and their pups into health and aided in
the effort to find them loving Forever Homes. As a pit bull rescuer, and
owner of several pit bulls, my family is adamately opposed to writing
about this topic as are many kids in the class. And they are not given a
choice to write about the opposing views. My son and I have asked
several times to write on the opposing viewpoint.

Here is what the teacher says,
“Yes, this is the paper asking students to use the topic “People Should Not Own Pit Bulls.”
When we began this project, several students mentioned that they owned pit bulls. I said
that they didn’t have to BELIEVE people should not own pit bulls, but for the sake of this
four paragraph research experience, I wanted them to use the four articles/sources I had
provided to discuss two reasons why owning pit bulls could be dangerous.”
A whole
generation of children are getting their heads filled with harmful,
biased “facts” on our beloved breed. Several of us have contacted the
school. I just got off the phone with the Assistant Principle, Mr
Cassaday, and he said, and I quote, “It is an approved topic and there
is nothing wrong with it”. Wow. Won’t you please help and call the
school and voice your opinion??

Is there an e-mail address I could send a message to? I want to tell them how absurd this is, but I’m currently studying in Spain and can’t make a phone call. It would be helpful if you could also post an e-mail address. Thank you. (I, too, am in animal rescue. This is ABSURD and RIDICULOUS. There is no way this should be allowed!)
Forced to hate that which the person obviously hateS,this is total BULL CA CA……….!
A dog is a dog.
They should be outside.
Feed them and walk them.
They like you when you like them.
Hmmm! They can go on a farm somewhere!
That’s just wonderful!
