VINCENNES, Ind. The students filed into their social studies class just after lunch and slumped into desks where they had learned about the Civil War, Lewis and Clark, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. On this day, teacher Michael Hutchison said, the class would feature "another of those huge moments in our history." He reminded the high school juniors and seniors that he would be grading their notes. Then he dimmed the lights and played a video on the classroom TV.

Part of the headline reads: "Eight years later; the Sept. 11 attacks are pages in the history books to a generation that's too young to recall them."
These people disgust me.
Seriously: Elimination of liberals and socialists from our planet is the only solution.
Disgust, but no surprise.
Washington Post flushes the truth of what happened on 9/11 down the Memory Hole. For shame. And what a bunch of squish-heads.
And they knew what they were doing. The usual comment section for this story was omitted.
This punk needs to have the snot beaten out of him by other kids who lost a parent that day.
“You might not know it to look at me now, but when I was 18 they made me walk 25 miles with 70 pounds on my back.”
-Only 70 lbs?? They make you do a LOT worse in Special Forces. ANY branch..SEALs, Rangers, Force Recon.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
MSNBC likes this story so much it’s on their website as well. What a surprise./s
And not ALL teenagers feel this way - for the ones raised in conservative households like mine it is a demarcation in time. My son was 10, and now he is a freshman in college. He came home for the day yesterday and brought up 9.11 himself, telling me that, although he was too young to remember a lot of it, that he remembered talking about the towers right before he got on the bus with his friend. There is a high hill in our town in Connecticut, where, from on a clear day, you could see the towers, and that’s what we were talking about at the bus stop.
He still finds that very eerie and said that 9.11 will NEVER be a day of service for him, but a day or mourning and remembrance. It’s all in the culture at home. We’re all very politically aware and don’t have a “detached” home. God Bless America.
I’m a retired ranger. I look back and I don’t know how I ever made it through the training.
Now, that's journalism!!
Nothing in the report mentions whether the students saw any video of the people falling to their deaths.
A building is a building, depersonalized. Individuals are a tragedy PERSONIFIED.
8 years hence we STILL cannot see any pictures of the bodies on the ground, the carnage at ground zero. The memory of the horror has been completely censored from the record. No publications foreign or domestic touch such images (I've only seen ONE image of a human in a body bag from that day).
Political correctness will doom this nation.
This is the one to read:

Betraying our dead
Forgetting the vows we made
Things should be different now.
They should have been shown the “Remember the Blood of Heroes” flash video that someone made shortly afterwards.
Dear Elis Saslow, you little punk *ss, you don’t get to tell us what we think of 9/11 or how we commemorate it, you stupid little jerk!

“Eli Saslow, the young Washington Post reporter best known for his giddy promotion of Obama’s “glistening pectorals,” touted Obama as a “powerful new ally” against “Islamophobia” on the front of Wednesday’s Style section.”
If I was a relative or friend of someone killed on 911 and read this article, I would be heartbroken.
The deliberate attempt to diminish and taint the memory of 911 and its victims by the liberal left is disgusting.
The one thing that makes me smile is that the Washington Post only has enough money now to hire sub par, biased, bottom feeders like Mr. Saslow.
