Bet if Mr. Smith instead showed the photos and videos from Abu Ghraib he'd get a raise....
Wait I thought I read somewhere on here that a fellow freeper whos wife was a teacher was going to show the video. Anybody here remember reading that?
Ohhhhma Gawd the teacher showed kids about to enter the real world, the truth?
You know, I distinctly remember seeing and reading some pretty horrible things about the Holocaust while I was in school.
How is this really any different?
They showed the video to blame Bush for what happened.
Pictures of the Holocaust are shown to remind us of man's depravity so it won't happen again. Most of these teachers are showing these pictures to support an anti-war, anti-Bush agenda.
I know according to this article, and its despicable. But I remember reading a post here about a freeper wanting to show it to his/her students.
I agree absolutely in showing this to students to demonstrate the savagery of the enemy, but I think with this there should at least be some parental notification.
This is why they showed the video, PERIOD.
Thanks for the tag line. I've been trying to remember that phrase for months.
If that's the case, then it's very poor strategy. It would be like showing an abortion on video to support "choice". Watcing five hooded Muslims cutting the head off an innocent, helpless American civilian will not promote anti-American feelings. It can only have the effect of creating disgust and hatred for the Islamofacists.
Geez it's not like these students were 8/9 yrs old Cripe I saw worse when I was in HS. this Super is a Wossie.
"Wait I thought I read somewhere on here that a fellow freeper whos wife was a teacher was going to show the video. Anybody here remember reading that?"
Yep...It was me. My wife, and several other teachers at their high school, did not directly show the students the video. They provided a link and made viewing it the student's choice. Most...actually almost all...watched it and there has not been a peep of a complaint. Of course, this is Texas and not California...;-)

That image montage is so funny and yet so true.
"That's what we get for being in a war we shouldn't be in."
These people are such idiots. I wonder what American action she blamed 911 on? Yeah, maybe if we just roll over and do everything they say then everything will be o.k. Doesn't "Islam" mean "submission?"
At first, I thought he should have been given an award as an outstanding teacher, until I saw his commentary on his REASONS for SHOWING IT.
9/11 is what we got for NOT being in a war that we should have been in.
The teacher's commentary sounds a lot like what Michael Berg has said about his son's murder. They're both twisted commie fellow travelers, IMO.
