Would schools allow watching a 9/11 type event during class?

[OddBeMe]

Seems like a woke “no” to me.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

My class watched 9/11 news footage in the classroom. My sister's did too, just a couple years ago. It depends on the school and the teacher how they wanna teach it. But in general, I don't think showing kids videos of actual human death is ever necessary to teach them that humans died. Call me woke but I didn't learn shit from the video that I didn't already know from just words.

Interesting, watching old newsreels from 2001 or a documentary on 9/11 for current students could be “controversial”. I think we need an absolutist clause saying: “Parents using the state to educate their kids are resigned to whatever is allowed for them to be taught”.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

That's already implied isn't it? Not like kids had to get parental permission to watch that shit.

[OddBeMe]

There are Karen parents with permission slips…so no. Should be just blatant umbrella protection for teachers and schools.

[OddBeMe]

For what they teach…not like diddlers. Lol

[GOLDFISH_smile]

A parent having a permission slip doesn't mean the school gave it out and requires it for their kid to be taught anything. Parents can make up fake permission slips, I don't see what good that'd do tho... Our class didn't require any for the videos. And we never learned about diddlers, tho i suspect a permission slip would've would've required if they were gonna teach us about safe/unsafe sex or any shit like that. Instead they just, didn't teach it. Too "controversial" ig.

Fueling and canalizing hatred against muslims is a good thing. It's exactly the same thing Quran does with muslims to dehumanize and to hate everyone else who isn't muslim.

@CaptainSmartass Well, it starts with "Einigkeit, Recht und Freiheit..." but it's beyond horizon of your by Islam indoctrinated worldview

[CaptainSmartass]

I'm referencing the Hitler version, as your answer sounded kinda racist, and Hitler's about as racist as you can get.

[OddBeMe]

@CaptainSmartass he had one 12 year bad patch. Jeez. Lol

Sure, the question is what do you learn from it?

In terms of education learning about the events leading up to it is far more interesting.

[OddBeMe]

I’d agree. I also think you learn about mass media and crises. Also what happened afterward and the length of rope we handed over to Bush W to hang us in the Mid East.

No more than watching Abu Ghraib, Vietnam, and other US atrocities, should be.

[OddBeMe]

Agreed.

Depends on the age of the kids, and also the ostensible educational value, if any. It might be best for a college structural engineering class or for a group of firefighters or other first responders.

[BoopBoopBeep]

History classes around here do it in junior high apparently.

[llorando]

Of course they would, was sitting in 6th grade Science class when it happened, instead of normal class, we watched news coverage of what was happening.

[exitseven]

No, they would probably allow watching if President Trump got shot. The teachers would all be happy.

[Snakeyes7]

I have seen world war footage in class, I think they'll be fine.
