So I take it they also have such a book to initiate discussions on the Holocaust?

I don't remember anyone making WWII a fun event for me to learn about when I was in school. I am very worried about generations of children being taught distorted history. Even young children can handle the truth.

The math trivia section includes equations that show "relationships" between "the mystery number 11" and the attacks, such as "9/11, 9+1+1 =," which children should find equals 11.
Was this section written by Louis Fahrakahn?

Here's a math equation that should make everyone happy:

"a happy 9/11 commemorative event,"
Which word does not belong in above sentence?

The problem is that the elephant in the room is that there is a reluctance to point fingers of blame or to admit that something catastrophic could happen again.

I guess we should be grateful that the booklet doesn't have a picture of President Bush putting a bomb in the WTC. Is Kerrigan one of those nutty 9/11 deniers?

An activity book for children about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks being distributed to schools with funding from Keyspan, North Fork Bank, and the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges contains pages of "trivia questions" and math problems about the attack.Word of advice - Before giving money to any of these groups that want to do a children's book, see what you are paying for first, or you'll probably pay double later.

From the article it appears that she was a volunteer for a fundraiser. It doesn't sound like she was hands on in the development of the book.

How about this for a trivia question for the kiddies:
During the Presidency of Bill Clinton how many terrorist attacks were essentially ignored by the administration, thus encouraging Islamists to get bolder, which eventually lead to the 9/11 attacks?

In Hitler's Table Talk, Hitler laid out a plan that he would not allow conquered peoples to learn any of their history. To deprive the youth a sense of history is the first step in eradicating any concept of the nation and with it patriotism, the notion of traditionalism, and a sense of rights/liberties. This would make them perfect for the economic slavery which was to be their destiny.
Instead of having no history taught, nowadays it is fashionable to teach watered-down and revisionist history. The ends are the same, and the means might be even more effective (as it seeks to destroy patriotism rather than cause it to be forgotten).

I have often thought that there wasn't nearly enough "fun" in the 9/11 massacre. The fear, anger, horror, and pain associated with the whole day seemed to have completely washed over any level of "fun" that may have been present for me in that day. Maybe if we can make it seem more "fun", then the left won't be so reluctant to remember it and talk about it, so long as we don't use it as an excuse to kill terrorists, right?
* NOTE: in case you hadn't noticed, this post is wrought with sarcasm.

Even young children can handle the truth. A decade ago when our first was in high school, I would have conniptions over his history book. Events I lived through were already being distorted. Our other one was in elementary school during 9/11. Their teacher always had the tv on FOX so the class all saw it as it happened so have a pretty good grasp of what really occurred.
