Is This Appropriate?

[LegginMF]

I am an LVN. I am currently taking, chemistry, algebra and a health class (instead of p.e.). The health class is an online course. I just logged on today and was checking out the tools and resources provided for the class. Now, this course covers mental, physical, emotional health, diet, exercise, drug use and STD's. Under the class resource button (which we are encouraged to check out multiple times, during the introduction, in the forum, in the syllabus) are literally 50 or so links, all antiabortion. I'm talking live videos of abortion, from D & C to partial birth to the delivery of a malformed fetus, the result of an incomplete abortion that went to term. There are no links for proabortion and only three links that actually provide tools to help with the course.

I am not asking if you are pro or anti. I am asking if these links put under course resources are appropriate? I really don't like being misled as to what I am going to view under a link. A live abortion video is not part of the course. There is only one short part in the book for the class that covers abortion and it's possible effects. What do you think?

totally inappropriate, i wonder if the site was "hacked"? you could try that tack with the instructor......

I hope it was hacked! Otherwise, I would tread lightly when writing any papers that want your opinion on health issues because these links were obviously put up by someone very opinionated, not to mention, one-sided!

You don't include much info regarding the institution where you are taking these courses.

If it's federally funded, they may be prohibited from showing any info that may be construed as "pro-choice" or "pro-abortion".
