The school board finally agreed to replace the mandatory dissections with digital alternatives. I am drained from this fight but incredibly grateful to the 462 people who stuck by me. We need to stay alert to ensure these virtual tools are actually implemented in every classroom.

Okay, So, In some schools Dissection is mandatory for Graduation, Like my friend Kayce's school. We need to stop this, Dissection is inhumane and wrong. Killing innocent frogs isn't the right way to go. If we need to learn this stuff (Which I think we shouldn't, They can teach us in Medical school) then start A Computer Program with virtual dissection. Some people have weak stomachs and simply cannot do this, Should they have A bad grade just because of that? Or be held back? No. Please sign this petition and help the cause.

The momentum is building but I am exhausted by how long it takes to be heard. I need you to push this link to three people right now so we can finally hit this milestone and force them to pay attention.

Stop this cruel and inhumane practice at once! There was no need for this, and it should not be part of any curriculum anymore - we have computers, let's use those instead, if you have to continue 'dissection'.

I'm surprised that in the 21st century we are still practicing something that was around BC

We don't need dissection to teach anatomy and physiology. https://www.facebook.com/KeepItFur.Real

Technology is everywhere these days, so there is no excuse to waste a poor innocent animal's life.

In this day where there is so many alternatives I don't understand how this practice still goes on it's not the turn of the century where medical science was just beginning.
