Some teachers are showing it in classrooms.

Right or wrong?

I guess it depends on what they are trying to teach.

From what i heard on Fox one teacher told his class"that's what you get for going to war" or something pretty close.

It's wrong to show that video with parental approval. It's even more wrong to give your political commentary with it.

As already said, it depends upon the kids age, but even then there should be parental consent and no political commentary from the teacher.

Wrong, absolutely wrong.

I can understand discussing it from a non-partisan standpoint, but showing that video to children is in my mind the equivalent of showing them pornography and rationalizing it by saying it's an anatomy lesson.

Unfortunately the individuals that did this were also trying to force a political agenda onto the kiddies.

I hate to say this, but I am amoung the group of people who have seen to much blood and gore in my life, I have watched the video several times and I was upset at what they did to him, but it didn't bother me. This is truly a sad thing to be able to say because it shows just how much violence we are exposed to now due to the internet and the media.
