What a bunch of wusses.

My own take on this is that the parents are overreacting and the district should do a better job defending the doctor.

Right on!
In high school, I dissected a cat in my AP Biology class. It was awesome! It was kinda like the game "Operation" without the annoying buzzing sound. Cats have very well-defined musculature, btw. I went so far as to crack open its ribcage (extra credit!) and extracted its heart (it's about the size of a large walnut), and dissected it to look at the chambers and the valves.
In college, I took a physiology lab that used live frogs (they appeared "high" and delirious while they were sitting in some anesthetizing solution). The lab started with taking one of these stoned frogs and cutting off its head with a pair of scissors (the goal of the dissection was to extract the sciatic nerve). I had a blast, although the other classmates doing their Michigan J. Frog impressions every time their headless frogs twitched got irritating.
