A Modest Proposal We Can Believe In

7:32 pm

There are a couple of chuckles to be gleaned from this charity parody:

From the One Velociraptor per Child mission statement:

“Most of the nearly two billion children in the developing world have inadequate access to dinosaurs. Some receive no paleontology training at all. One in three has never even seen a dinosaur in person…

…dinosaur ownership emphasizes what Chua calls “survival learning” as the fundamental experience. A dinosaur uniquely fosters learning survival skills by allowing children to “think about living” in ways that are otherwise impossible.”
