In the latest damning indictment of modern education and culture, BuzzFeed approvingly reports<\/a> on a pair of teenage girls who \u201ctotally stole\u201d the fashion show at Ethical Culture Fieldston School, a New York private school that \u201cemphasize[s their] students\u2019 moral development and guide[s] them towards service and social justice,\u201d with a stunt that was anything but moral or ethical.<\/p>\n

ECFS holds an annual student fashion show in which students wear handmade designs that cannot use fabric. But while this was surely a fun tradition and a good creative outlet in years past, Karolina Montes (17) and Zoe Balestri (16), with the help of art teacher Nancy Fried, decided to put a happy face on mass killings this year with their entries — dresses made entirely out of Planned Parenthood stickers and condom wrappers:<\/p>\n

In April, President Donald Trump signed a law targeting domestic funding for Planned Parenthood, a women’s health service provider whose offerings include abortion services. In January, the president restored the Mexico City Policy, known by critics as the “global gag rule,” which imposes abortion-related restrictions on US foreign aid. The international arm of Planned Parenthood has said that rule will cost the organization $100 million in funding, or about 25% of its budget.<\/p>\n

Montes said, “it just seems like such an important part of our culture, that we need to have safer methods [of family planning] and we need to educate. That’s the main the point, is to educate people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt just seems\u201d is about the level of understanding to be expected from the average teenager being indoctrinated by a self-described \u201cprogressive<\/a>\u201d school and the surrounding culture of a pro-abortion state<\/a>. It\u2019s no surprise that ECFS\u2019 stated mission of molding kids into \u201cpassionate learners, critical thinkers, and ethical individuals who aim to make the world more humane and just\u201d utterly failed to imprint on these young ladies any comprehension that an organization that violently kills innocent children — and privately admits<\/a> that\u2019s exactly what they\u2019re doing —\u00a0might<\/em> not be the most laudable thing to celebrate.<\/p>\n
