"There are classrooms in the US that are teaching cannibalism."

[mainer]

Traverse City, MI school board meeting. Anti-masker/anti-vaxxer woman claims kids are being taught cannibalism in the classroom.
(Note to her psychiatrist: you need to up the dose.)

1. LOrdy How Absoliutely Bat CRazy Nuts Can A Person Be

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. Those wackos should be required to take their kids

out of public schools.

[Faux pas]

3. The

inmates have officially taken over the asylum

[zipplewrath]

5. And she can vote

It has come home to me that there's a larger portion of these wackos than I ever understood.

[Faux pas]

7. That's

for sure. They all came slithering out from under their rocks when the hump unleashed them. We be screwed.

[treestar]

4. "Teaching" cannibalism

What, that it exists?

[mainer]

6. Maybe they were studying "A Modest Proposal"

Jonathan Swift's brilliant 1729 satirical piece about eating Irish children.
But satire is only for intelligent people.

[treestar]

8. yep they are batshit crazy and dumb enough

to think the pieces is literally teaching their kids when cannibalism is OK!

[Retrograde]

9. We had to read that in high school!

Over half a century ago. We also read excerpts from "Ordeal", about the Donner party (even though this was in New York). Maybe the nuns were trying to teach us how to be cannibals and I just never noticed!

17. I would have thought Sister Johnette would have mentioned that.

She just talked about satire and stuff. Typical nun.

[onenote]

10. If the quality of school lunches wasn't so bad....

[treestar]

11. lol

[Celerity]

12. the batshit crazy is only getting warmed up

[SeattleVet]

13. Cannibalism?

Like she hears every week..."This is my body, take it and eat; and this is my blood, take it and drink."?

[Jim__]

14. "You're dumbing down our children!"

I really doubt they're making any children dumber than her.

15. I'd call that practical life skills for the later 21st century...

When I was in middle school we had a teacher who did one of those last humans on earth lifeboat scenario things. I drew one of the short sticks, the old lady with health problems.

My autistic spectrum self announced at the start how I'd killed everyone in their sleep, dried their meat, and lived happily ever after.

The way I figured it the human race wasn't worth saving.

In ordinary circumstances school counselors might have called my mom but they were afraid of her.

[bahboo]

16. I'm sure she can cite examples....

uh huh....

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yes, Catholic and Christian schools teach it.

Holy Communion is consuming the body and blood of Jesus. Catholics believe that literally. With the rest, it varies by sect whether it's literally or figuratively eating his body and drinking his blood. Granted, I doubt that's what this kook is talking about.

21. Bacon made from the neighbors one hates tastes better.

And it's easy to make at home.

30. Thank you.

I'll never understood how that survived the ritual over the centuries. It proves the desperate need for critical thinking in religion.

19. EAT THE RICH !

The dream is coming true a bite at a time


✌🏻

20. Looks like someone's grandma, sounds like asylum escapee.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Soylent Green is coming...

[frogmarch]

23. OMG, and some churches do too!

If transubstantiation can be considered a form of cannibalism.

[hunter]

24. Seriously, teachers frequently screw up whenever they try to teach triage or lifeboat ethics.

They probably shouldn't even attempt it.

I'm guessing this crazy lady is riffing on that.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about...

Cool, huh?

My wife and I both have formal training in the art of triage and have practiced it on terrible occasion, my wife much more than I.

Our dads got the equivalent military training.

It's not something I'd make an educational game of in grade school.

[albacore]

25. THIS...

is why we need national health care... with a psychiatric component. Folks like this would be getting care, and not making fools of themselves in public.

[MagickMuffin]

26. I suppose she's talking about herself, poor baby

I guarantee no one would want to eat her ewwww

[luckone]

27. I would like to really grill her about some of her theories 😋

C’mon man do something out there like mix it up with aliens or say they are presenting it as a liberal culinary class. Really something needs to be added actually to that statement
other wise you are just another crazy old lady messing up a school board meeting 😴

28. Everyone likes baby back ribs

[Midnight Writer]

29. That is bull! Cannibalism is only taught at the graduate school level in business courses.

31. I Started Going To School Board Meetings

Neither my wife nor I ever went to these schools. We didn't grow up here.
We never had kids in this system. But, I'm going anyway.
I go to sit & listen to the know-nothings who have ALL the answers act like fools so I can just start laughing at them.
Once, I got asked "What are laughing at?". I replied, simply "You."
Another time a board member asked what I thought was so funny. I replied "I didn't know that people who knew so little we're allowed to speak on school matters."
As you might guess, I'm not a popular person there.
Only once did I drop the retired scientist card when a few drones were trying to pretend that science said kids shouldn't wear masks. Of course, I started laughing, but the said "That's not what the science says."
School board member asked me why I thought that. I went into a dizzying explanation about the surface physics of filtration, and CO2 can't stick to it, it's not possible that they're wholly ineffective. By the time I got done with the physics piece, they decided it was best to sit down & shut up. I win!

32. What, the Donner Party expedition? The Andes soccer team plane crash?

The history of tribes of Papau New Guinea?

34. Sweetie, when people laugh at you and say, "Eat me", they're not encouraging cannibalism.

They're just pointing out the fact that you're a fucking idiot.
