Two of the kids on this "field trip" were 11 and 13 years old.MINNEAPOLIS — A field trip to an adult novelty shop without consent has caused some parents to pull their children out of a Minnesota school.
“We feel that the bond of trust between parent and educator has been irrevocably damaged.”According to WCCO, students from Gaia Democratic School went to Smitten Kitten for a field trip following a month-long sex education class.
The K-12 private school has about 25 students, but now has three fewer after angry parents took them out of the school.
Parents who say they were not notified are questioning the school’s administration over the trip.
In a letter to the school’s principal, one parent said, “We feel that the bond of trust between parent and educator has been irrevocably damaged.”
The owner of Smitten Kitten said in a statement that the store is an educational resource about sex and sexuality for the community.

A month long sex education class?
A school named Gaia Democratic School?
A field trip to a sex toy shop?
GrizQuarterWit would sign up for the class, JSO would be waiting at the school's bus stops, and dback would be trying to get the kids to get him a group discount at the store.

I can just imagine the manufactured outrage if this "school" took kids on a field trip to a gun shop or a shooting range after a month long class about the 2nd amendment.

I was about to say the same thing
But I don't see the problem with taking the kids to the cock and balls shoppe-
Any parents that would send their kids to a school named liked that have probably already mentally stunted their poor kids to the point that a trip to the fap store probably a dose of normalcy

I knew Evergreen was a good school but I just looked up its wiki page and it's regarded as one of the best public schools in the west. It also counts Matt Groening, Carry Brownstein, and Mackenore among its alumni.dbackjon wrote:The Geoducks!!kalm wrote:
