So this is what they are teaching our kids?

My 11 year old son came home from school today with a book that his class is reading called "Beasts Fact and Fiction" (written by. Stewart Ross) he handed me the book and he was so angry! He says mom just look at this! He went on to show me the story of the legendary hound of Baskervilles and on that page is a huge picture of a snarling drooling Pit Bull and it this is exactly how it reads.

My son said when the story was read out loud in class he raised his hand and said to his teacher excuse me but that is not true. And his teacher reply was "Yes it is true have you never heard the news stories surrounding these dogs." My son then said well my mom and dad own three and their great dogs she said well we will discuss that later.

Oh yes indeed we will! I have contacted the principal and the teacher and we are having a meeting concerning their curriculum choice I hope they are prepared for a little American Pit Bull Terrier 101.

 

YOU GO GIRL!!!
Seems like they need a little pit bull history 101 is 100 percent CORRECT
Speak up on BEHALF OF ALL OF US!!!!!!! :y_the_best:

I can't wait to hear the outcome of this!!
Is there any way we can write to the publisher of this AWFUL Beastly BOOK???? I would love an address please.

 

Get em!!! I would definatly be on this one, thats terrible. They brainwash their minds so young!

 

That's just terrible! Bravo to your son for standing up and speaking the truth! and bravo to you for teaching him so well!

 

Why dont you invite them to come observe your babies & see how Pits act. A big :y_the_best: for your boy standing up in what he believe's in.

 

WOW, how to scare young children, that sawful let us know the outcome

honeybear

 

You know, I have been thinking about this teacher and her bad teaching manners. I am wondering if you can get permission from the principal to bring one of your dogs to school for show & Tell???
It would be a great way to get positive publicity about pitbulls and put the teacher in her proper place (stomped on the ground)
:lol:

 

This is just unbelievable I am outraged!! I don't even know what ta say!!!! :x Thank god your son was there great job!!!

 

You realize you HAVE To keep us updated on this crock!!! New teacher I suspect and BAD choice of reading material... I'll see if I can find out what the site is but there's a site devoted to kids and dogs and safety....not Breed specific by any means...but might be a good thing to show this teacher and any others who are concerned about children's safety around dogs... Just a thought...let me know...

I can't beleive this!
