Agree with the idea of making hard choices. Disagree on the use of life and death for people that a 5th grader may not know much about. A prostitute? A former junkie?
How about “Shaquon was invited out to meet some local gang bangers to go along on stealing a car and going on a joy ride. Should he ride in the front seat, the back seat, or stay home. If he stays home should he play video games or do his homework that is due tomorrow?”
Well I did say the list of people was a bit odd. But overall it’s nothing new, as many have pointed out on this thread having similar class discussions 30, 40 and 50 years ago. And getting all up in arms about it now is kinda silly.
