This week’s “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore” award goes to some teachers in India, who it turns out were sprinkling cow urine on low-caste students to drive away evil.
And it gets worse. They did this urine sprinkling while the students were taking a test, wetting their faces and their answer sheets. It made it kind of difficult to concentrate on the questions, and probably a little tough to grade the yellow answer sheets, as well.
Perhaps not surprisingly, parents complained and the teachers were arrested. Here’s the story:
