SCIENCE OR SVU?

What I am about to show you is very disturbing. I know here at the WATCH WE(okay ME) like to joke around a lot but this is NO laughing matter. This image was used at four schools last year - LYNN WOODS, LINCOLN THOMPSON, WASHINGTON STEM, and one other for first graders to learn about TEXTURE.

The symbolism is disgusting. Using the picture of a NAKED MAN and talking about RUBBING up against him is disgusting. This slide is asking if the child has ever had A MAN rub his rough beard up against their face. Guess what: A MAN = STRANGER!

You would think if it was solely about scientific discovery and not some other sort of exploration that at least the guy would have a shirt on. CREEPY!

But the CREEP FACTOR doesn't stop there, oh no! Put forth as an example of SMOOTH is a red apple. You know, one found in the GARDEN OF EDEN, the birthplace of SIN. Countless other things come to my mind as being more representative of the quality of smooth before an apple. The symbolism here, intentional or not, just makes me feel like I need a shower.

THIS IS WHAT THE LYNN SCHOOL COMMITTEE VOTED FOR LAST NIGHT!
