Appeal to Washington Governor on Petition Denial by the Office of Public Instruction


On Nov. 23, 2019, Attorney Adam P. Karp submitted the following Appeal to the
Governor of Washington State on behalf of

ANIMAL LAW OFFICES
---------------------------
Adam P. Karp, WSB No. 28622
Attorney for Petitioners

and

UNITED POULTRY CONCERNS
---------------------------
KAREN DAVIS, PhD



Issue: On Aug. 29, 2019, Attorney Adam P. Karp petitioned the Washington State
Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to comply with the state's
legislative mandates to give instruction in such studies as may be prescribed by
rule of the superintendent of public instruction, and for all teachers to stress
the importance of the minimum requisites for good health and the worth of
kindness to all living creatures and the land.


On Oct. 25, 2019, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction denied
the petition. Hence, this Appeal to the Governor. Read the Appeal and Petition
here: Appeal to Governor on Denial of Petition.

The problem at the heart of the Petition and the Appeal is summed up by
Attorney Adam P. Karp in his Appeal:

"The precept of kindness to animals is lost in the Washington learning
standards. The word 'animal' does not appear once in the Integrated
Environmental and Sustainability Standards. And while the Washington Science
Learning Standards use the word 'animal' frequently, they neither intend nor
imply kindness, nor educate on animal sentience and sapience, although such
concepts possess an undeniable scientific pedigree far removed from the
mechanomorphic perspective of the centuries-old, fallacious Cartesian model and
are otherwise wholly germane to biology classes."

We will keep our members updated on the progress of this effort.
