I am appalled that this is allegedly being handed to children in schools. What are your thoughts.

If this is genuine then I am appalled. I have passed it on for investigation.

Can’t read it I m afraid if I enlarge it it becomes distorted as there’s not many words perhaps you can write them

Wow, that is really scary. Well done blossoming for passing it on for investigation…

Allegedly by whom?

VioletSky Sun 21-Aug-22 12:11:20

I would almost certainly say this is fake

The opposite of what we teach

Kate1949 Sun 21-Aug-22 12:13:39

It's fake.

Lauren59 Sun 21-Aug-22 12:17:37

Yes, it’s fake. I suppose the purpose is to get a reaction.

But who would hand out such a thing to children in schools? Surely the teachers would veto it.

As I thought, it isn’t genuine.

Lots of these things go around

I saw one recently about how awful it is that "dihydrogen monoxide" is in the British water supply. Shared in all seriousness with a lengthy rant about how disgusting that is.

It's the chemical name for water

Unfortunately VioletSky people pass these things on without bothering to check.

It is obviously a joke to wind people up on social media.

I do not find it funny.

There was a (spoof?) petition a few years ago to ban it because it causes excessive sweating, bloating and urination.

I'm just off to take a dose and see what happens. Might need to dash to the loo afterwards.

The other pamphlet, also a spoof, has been copied on social media and could be dangerous if any child took it seriously.

Sadly this is being copied all over social media by all the the people who are appalled but not interested enough to check it out. It apparently originates from a Moscow site.
