Anti-abortion fetus dolls handed out to Norfolk students

[IScreamSundays]

Plastic human fetus dolls - soft, in pink and brown, and about 4 inches long - have been handed out at Oakwood Elementary School by an employee who was put on administrative leave Thursday over the situation.

The dolls, which were distributed over weeks or months, are not authorized by the division as instructional materials, spokeswoman Elizabeth Thiel Mather said Thursday. Mather said the employee will remain on leave until school officials investigate the reports.

Oakwood Principal Sheila Tillett Holas was put on leave today, Thiel Mather said. The division began its investigation after The Pilot asked school leaders this week about the fetus dolls.

The distribution of the life-like forms among grade school children shocked and repelled some parents and teachers and School Board members who discussed them in a closed meeting this week.

1. And it was the principal, no less.

I guess their idea is that if you hate public schools, destroy them from the inside.



I also noticed this little comment:

Milton N. Greene, Oakwood's PTA president, said he hadn't seen the figures but that another parent told him it was not a fetus - but rather a doll used to show kids how big they are at birth.

In other words, they are buying dolls in stores and calling them fetuses.


Un-flippin'-believable. :eyes:


They care incapable of rational discussion and instead, go straight to the children. I wonder if any of their little dolls are too sick to live, have organs growing on the outside, missing major organs, have fatal diseases? I think we all know the answer to that.

At worst she will be promoted.
