Warning!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I will NOT<\/span> 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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And for the sheeple who listen to the media…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there are more attacks from small dogs in the US than pitbulls, but they do not make a “juicy” story!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the owner, not the breeds fault.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Students forced to write paper on Why We Should NOT Own Pit Bulls!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

by Amber Kay<\/a> on Thursday, May 5, 2011<\/p>\n

Hello Fellow Pit Bull Lovers!<\/div>\n
I am writing to you to
\ngain support for my 16 year old son who is being forced by his High
\nSchool English teacher to write a paper entitled, “People Should NOT own
\nPit Bulls”.<\/div>\n
After my husband died, my family dived
\nheadlong into dog rescue, and it was very helpful in the healing process
\nfor us. We worked with Bully Paws and often times took in pregnant,
\nabused pits and nursed them and their pups into health and aided in
\nthe effort to find them loving Forever Homes. As a pit bull rescuer, and
\nowner of several pit bulls, my family is adamately opposed to writing
\nabout this topic as are many kids in the class. And they are not given a
\nchoice to write about the opposing views. My son and I have asked
\nseveral times to write on the opposing viewpoint.<\/div>\n
Here is what the teacher says,<\/div>\n
“Yes, this is the paper asking students to use the topic “People Should Not Own Pit Bulls.”<\/div>\n
When we began this project, several students mentioned that they owned pit bulls. I said<\/div>\n
that they didn’t have to BELIEVE people should not own pit bulls, but for the sake of this<\/div>\n
four paragraph research experience, I wanted them to use the four articles\/sources I had<\/div>\n
provided to discuss two reasons why owning pit bulls could be dangerous.”<\/div>\n
A whole
\ngeneration of children are getting their heads filled with harmful,
\nbiased “facts” on our beloved breed. Several of us have contacted the
\nschool. I just got off the phone with the Assistant Principle, Mr
\nCassaday, and he said, and I quote, “It is an approved topic and there
\nis nothing wrong with it”. Wow. Won’t you please help and call the
\nschool and voice your opinion??<\/div>\n
703.365.6500 – ask for Mr Cassaday’s office.<\/div>\n
OR Email<\/div>\n
