Another e-mail:

The real issue in this case is that the parents involved didn’t read the letter the school sent home. At some point, parents need to be held responsible for their inactions as well as their actions. From the opinion, it is pretty clear that traumatic questions would be asked.
My 3 year old came home from pre school with a permission slip the other day to participate in some type of scientific study involved with the development of speech. I threw the consent form out before I finished the first paragraph.
As much as I’m for tort reform, this seems to be a case for the civil law system. They should have sued the school board and the idiot who thought it would be a good idea to let a grad. student ask terrifying questions to minors.
And just to [tick] off any PETA supporters who seem to lurk in wait of some sort of anti-animal post of yours, how about, “if you want to do experiments, buy a monkey…leave my kid out of it!”.
