Texas Parents Horrified by Graphic Images Shown at Career Day

Texas Parents Horrified by Graphic Images Shown at Career Day


Career day at a north Texas elementary school started out innocently enough with a presentation on the alternative medical field of iridology.

But things took a turn for the worse when students were exposed to some graphic photos.

Denee Stockman, whose son is a student at Keller’s Friendship Elementary, said the guest speaker showed third graders images of worms in a man’s exposed brain and worms coming out of a woman’s butt, Fox 4 reported.

-------------------

Stockman said her son is scarred from the presentation.

“He can’t eat noodles and spaghetti,” she told Fox 4. “We had Chinese food the other night and he couldn’t even look at the noodles because the first image that comes to his mind is worms." :cry:

watch R rated movies. Yet some brain pictures are going to scar them for life?

ass.....

it was wrong to show the kids

that simple

I don't allow my child to watch "R" rated movies or play "M" rated games. I would be offended by the pictures, just like the parents in the article.

but I sure don't see how worms exiting a butt would fit in a third-grade appropriate presentation about examining eyeballs... :shrug:

son would of thought it was interesting and had to tell and retell anyone he could all about it. Then again I wasn't one to hide things from him and instead chose to discuss things in a realistic way. Might of been inappropriate for the age but if the pictures weren't pre-approved how is it the teachers fault? Maybe the admins and teachers should set some ground rules before hand and check out the presentation before students see it.

lock jaw... say what? lol. he was scared to death he was going to get these. i remember a period fearful of worms in intestines.

I remember eating spaghetti as a kid, and some smart ass would say "it's worms!" I had to pause and get that thought out of my mind before I could continue eating.

Some people are just very sensative to this sort of thing regardless of their age. But showing them to kids is nuts with or without any warning. Kids are impressionable and see terror and horror in the most benign of things. The imagination is very real to young kids... there ARE monsters under the bed and other terrifying freakish things permiating their young world.

This is my state...no surprise here.

At least if the images are similar to the images I am imagining in my mind.

All we got to do was finger paint. :(

Just lots of soft, furry bunnies and quiet music.

That's a whole new level of Halloween terror I will have to keep in mind.

this is a "career"?
