Plastic Fetuses in Norfolk Public Schools
On May 21, the Virginian-Pilot broke a shocking story: since the fall, fetus dolls with explicit anti-choice messages have been handed out to third, fourth, and fifth grade students by a school employee at Oakwood Elementary School in Norfolk, Virginia. The Pilot cites a teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, describing the 4-inch-long pink and brown plastic dolls as “life-like” and accompanied by a card with an anti-choice message and information on fetal growth. The Pilot’s investigative reporter found that these dolls and their accompanying literature were given out to dozens of young students, as recently as last month.
