Mom irate when 2nd grade teacher refuses vagina cookies

http://blog.sfgate.com/sfmoms/2014/09/24/mom-irate-when-2nd-grade-teacher-refuses-vagina-cookies/

A mother who’s being called Autumn Lily Speaker on Reddit was supposedly outraged when her daughter’s second-grade teacher refused to serve students a tray of vagina cookies....

Autumn (this isn’t her real name but the teacher says it’s close) volunteered and showed up to class with a pan full of treats and said with a smile, “I decided you can use these to teach the kids about the woman’s vagina today.”

The teacher was completely baffled and at a loss for words. “I slowly peel the aluminum foil off the pan to behold a plethora of sugar cookie and frosting vaginas,” the teacher shared. “Not just any old vagina, but ALL KINDS OF VAGINAS. ...

Autumn, who Reddit users are calling a radical feminist, lost her top. The mother started screaming in front of the class and telling the teacher that she should be proud of her vagina and that she’s settling for a “woman’s role” in life.

The teacher was completely baffled and at a loss for words. “I slowly peel the aluminum foil off the pan to behold a plethora of sugar cookie and frosting vaginas,” the teacher shared. “Not just any old vagina, but ALL KINDS OF VAGINAS.

“There were small, puffy, white, brown, shaved, bald, and even a fire crotch with beef curtains. Perplexed I give the parent the most professional look I can muster and quietly reply ‘I’m sorry Autumn, but I can’t give these to my students. This just isn’t appropriate.’”

Autumn, who Reddit users are calling a radical feminist, lost her top. The mother started screaming in front of the class and telling the teacher that she should be proud of her vagina and that she’s settling for a “woman’s role” in life.

“Finally after what seemed like an eternity, she storms out of the class leaving her vagina cookies on my desk,” the teacher said. “I scramble to collect my thoughts and take control of the situation before my second graders develop vaginal PTSD. My only thought is to scrape off the vagina frosting and hand out the plain sugar cookies to my students.”

"given the "friend of a friend" telling and the outrageous behavior on the part of the parent involved, it is entirely possible that the tale is either exaggerated or wholly fabricated."

at "fire crotch beef curtains".

Sorry, no teacher would say that for publication.

It sounds like something dreamed up in an MRA group or at a meeting of Tea Party Moms for Palin.

Now playing at The Hollywood Bowl: ALL KINDS OF VAGINAS!

Ye gads, this had to have been pulled out of someone's ass: Who in fuck thinks lessons about the vagina are appropriate for second graders?

I mean, geeze, this is no different to forcing ideals on someone else's children.

Also the same thing as giving 2nd graders penis cookies.

I understand trying to be nice, but that is just dumb.

Can't believe the teacher thought she had to do anything with them but throw them in the trash.

And of course, what good is a lesson involving vagina cookies unless you hand out penis gummis with them?

Comment was the best! I'm not sure how to express this but the vagina is only one part of a vulva. Why are they not called by the proper name?
