SAMPLE ARTICLES TO SUBMIT TO YOUR PTA NEWSPETTER LONG VERSION Parents, teachers, and school administrators should be concerned about the damaging influence of radical animal-rights propaganda in the classroom, according to the Center for Consumer Freedom. The Center recently released a report titled “Your Kids, PETA’s Pawns,” which documents the damaging effects of a concerted campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to influence children into becoming vegetarians and animal-rights radicals. PETA has sent a convicted felon into schools to teach about “humane education.” And the group claims to have reached 2.3 million students and teachers in 2004 with its own prepared curriculum. Psychologists and school officials have denounced PETA’s child-propaganda as “despicable,” “traumatizing,” “beyond insensitive,” and “an absolute atrocity.” Yet PETA, which raked in more than $29 million in 2004, continues to target children as young as six years old with violent and graphic propaganda. As one concerned parent wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times, “Parents, do you know what your children are learning, and does it square with your values? I think we have some activists among us who are pushing an agenda we know little about or dismiss as inconsequential.” To read the "Your Kids, PETA's Pawns" report, visit www.ConsumerFreedom.com/PETAkids.
