Anatomy demo leads to teacher's suspension
Compiled by DIVYA THERESA RAVI, C. ARUNO and R. ARVINTHAN A TEACHER wanted to make her science class more interesting by bringing in a cow's brain during a lesson on human anatomy but ended up being suspended instead, Makkal Osai reported. Some of the secondary school students in India's Telangana state had protested as cows are considered sacred. Despite the students' objections, the teacher carried on with the lesson. After photos and videos from the class were circulated, the Hindu nationalist ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and other organisations staged a protest outside the school, demanding the teacher be fired. They said there are other methods to teach anatomy such as using computers rather than bringing the brain of a cow. The police met with the protesters outside the school and promised to investigate the incident.
