Protecting Dead Animals

Warning: Some people will not think this is silly at all; others will shake their heads in disbelief. Like Fox News, I'll report, you decide.

According to California law (Cal. Educ. Code § 32255.1), "any pupil with a moral objection to dissecting or otherwise harming or destroying animals, or any parts thereof," may be allowed to use an alternate form of instruction that does not involve damaging the (presumably) already-dead animal.

Many a student may have objected to dissecting a frog in school, but I've never heard of one that objected on moral grounds.
