Diversity Goes A Little Too Far When Human Sacrifice Is In The ShowSome PA parents got upset when an elementary school play on 'world cultures' had called for a simulated human sacrifice performed by the 1st-5th grade tykes. Good thing it wasn't CA ... they would have gotten tax dollars to send the show on the road. Why did things go bad? Because they brought in two outside 'performance artists' who saw nothing wrong with the human sacrifice and believed it was part of the curriculm and therefore okay. Said Abby Alter, one of the two performance artists, "I felt bad for the kids," Alter said. "They had a great time (putting the show together). It was school, but it was also a learning experience." "I was very disappointed that those in charge . . . didn't see anything wrong with this type of production, especially around Christmas," said Keith Klinger, the father of first- and third-graders at Pleasantville Elementary. "I had no problem with it up until the violent content of the human sacrifices." Article Here |
