Had my students do a short research project on genetic modifications (not focused on food only). 5 questions: what is it, how is it done, potential good, potential bad, your opinion. The parent made their student erase the potential good and write "there is no good reason, have you not seen Jurassic Park: Lost World" and "genetic modifications are the work of Satan." Sad thing is, the student and parents both were against genetic modifications but not for the same reasons. I wish I was in a position to say something but unfortunately I'm not. How dare their student use research and data to come to a conclusion in science and not a fictional movie and religious text.
