KIDS NEED PERMISSION SLIP TO EAT AN OREO

The following permission slip was sent home from a school in Pennsylvania. It was posted from Twitter mom Main Line Housewife:
“Dear Parent/Guardian:
In science class, the students have been learning about the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. The students will model plate movement and observe earth’s features that occur as the plates move in this simulation lab. They will be using a Double Stuff Oreo to simulate the 3 types of plate boundaries and the geographical features that are created at the boundary. The students may eat the Oreo after the investigation, if this is okay with you. The students do NOT have to eat the Oreo if they do not wish to do so. My child, (name) has permission to eat the Oreo after the science investigation. Without a signed permission slip, my child understands that he/she will not be able to sample the Oreo.
* All I really understood about that experiment was “eat the Oreo.”
* Forget the parents. Did he get Michelle Obama’s permission?
* I believe limiting the permission slip to “he or she” limits the educational experience of those students who may identify as one of the other sexual orientations.
* Next week: The movement of the planets using Girl Scout cookies.
* Then they’ll show how a galaxy forms using skittles.
* Of course, first, you’ll have to sign a permission slip that authorizes you to sign these other permission slips.
