All of these exchanges were over this horrifying show - the kids loved it, but the adults in the building cringed as they passed by on their way to the cafeteria - see it here

Dave,
Please see me about the display. I'm getting very uncomfortable with the message it is sending. I really need any reference to eating animals (meat) out of your project. It is not the positive message that I though it was going to be.
I'm very sorry if I misunderstood where you were going with this.
Thanks,
Tim

3 minutes earlier he sent this picture - a sort of religous joke - e-mail out to the whole staff mocking my project go ahead and eat animals

You are correct...you don't get it. I don't shoe things under the carpet and I do not appreciate it. I will take care of the posters. You are missing the point.
Sorry you feel that way. I never told anyone to be a vegetarian. I think students should have all the facts and make their own decisions. I thought we want students to be informed decision makers. I thought nutrition was taught in school. I respect life and I am taking responsibility (that is the correlation). This started because of students at our school, our students, are killing animals for fun - killing birds and squirrels - anything that moves. I thought I would confront the issue instead of shoeing it under the carpet for fear of phone calls. I am not sure which posters you are referring to. I can take them all down if you wish.
Dave,
This Peep project seems to be turning into a PETA advertisement. I don't like tying in the schools moto of respect and responsibility to a vegetarian diet. I don't see the correlation and I don't want to be fielding phone calls that we are pushing an agenda on the students or other staff that is not the opinion of the district. I think a couple of the posters take this too far and maybe some of the display. Please becareful not to have this back fire.
The notion that non-vegetarians support cruelty to animals....even if true.....I'm not using our school as a soap box for this opinion. Please remove the posters that indicate that students should not eat meat. I'm sorry if I led you to believe that I supported promoting being a vegetarian, and that not being one, was bad.
Thanks
Tim

This is the info that was too long to read (which I know is very serious indeed) but change means work
In this example Heriditary Ignorance continues by avoidance, delay, denial, anger, disconnect - do not back down from these people - eventually, you will break through!
