Current Events > M poor family member is getting attacked by angry helicopter parents.

(+) Yeah! (+)

She and her husband are out in CA, working for an agricultural school. She teaches 5th graders a class on gardening. During class, they find a bunch of newly-born mice at the end of class. While cleaning, one boy privately asks her what she'll do with them, she says she'll feed them to the chickens. Boy gets excited, goes running back to the class to share, a bunch of excited or crying children ensues. She tries to talk to the upset ones, but they were already about to leave, so they go home crying to their parents about how it was a terrible class. Cue FB drama of a handful of parents talking about their "traumatized" children, saying how something shouldn't be done if it upsets their precious snowflakes that much. Then they make up shit by saying they were fed to the chickens anyway, in front of the whole class (they weren't) and that the teacher told them to "get over it" (she said nothing close to that).

Did you type this on a phone? A little tough to follow at times.

But there ya go - it's like the old game.. "whisper down the lane" or whatever it was called. Something happens, and people exaggerate it or it gets misinterpreted, and it turns worse and worse as more and more people get outraged.

If they identify as an Apache attack helicopter who are you to tell them they're not.

Ha, nice comparison.

But no, I typed it on a normal keyboard. What parts were hard to follow? I'll edit it. It's a longer story, and I was quickly typing a condensed version. Sorry about that.

I remember the a teacher made us play the game in elementary school and I completely botched the message that was being whispered down the lane. I couldn't hear what the kid whispered to me and I just made up my own thing >_>
