http://blog.sfgate.com/sfmoms/2014/09/24/mom-irate-when-2nd-grade-teacher-refuses-vagina-cookies/Autumn (this isnt her real name but the teacher says its 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 womans 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 shes settling for a womans role in life.

(68,644 posts)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 Im sorry Autumn, but I cant give these to my students. This just isnt appropriate.

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.

Sorry, no teacher would say that for publication.

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?

(8,217 posts)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.

(19,288 posts)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?
