EDMOND, Oklahoma – A biology teacher’s quiz about abortion is upsetting some students’ parents.
Edmond Santa Fe High School officials confirmed that teachers at the school gave their students a “non graded exercise” on human genetic disorders.
The controversial question:
“You’ve found out that the child you (or your wife) carries has the gene for dwarfism. A new therapy exists that may repair this gene before the
child is born. What do you do?” the first question on the exercise asks.
- A. Allow the child to be born with the gene, and we will accept the child as is.
- B. Attempt the new therapy to repair the gene.
- C. Terminate Pregnancy.
A District Spokesperson emphasized students did not have to participate in the exercise if they felt uncomfortable, and those who did participate were not given a grade.
