Unfiltered Story #32358
I overhear an argument between two of my students
Student 1: So let me get this straight…You want to bring all the Pygmies over to America
Student 2: Not all of them. I don’t think I could find all of them.
Student 1: Ok, some pygmies. You want to make them have flat heads…
Student 2: Yes. If I strap boards to the tops of their heads when they’re babies, they’ll grow up with flat heads.
Student 1: That’s just so wrong. Why would you do that?
Student 2: So they can balance trays on their heads and work as servers at parties.
Student 1: So you’re going to bring them over to be slaves?!
Student 2: Not slaves. I’ll give them food, clothing, and a place to live. And they’ll have a better life here than in the jungle anyway.
Student 1: That’s still not right! (turns to me) Tell him, miss.
And that’s how my yearbook quote for the year became:
Me: No, it is not ethical to bring a group of pygmies to America, raise them with flat heads and use them as servants to carry your trays on their heads.
