Do you consider Shindler's List entertainment? If so that's disgusting. But guess what? We watched it as a history lesson in high school and I've heard of other teachers showing it as a history lesson. American History X? Ok while some sick people would take that as entertainment, most sane people wouldn't. And guess what? OMG one of my college professors showed this movie in class!

Heres the difference between showing SCHINDLER'S list and United 93 in a classroom. There were people who survived the Holocaust and lived to tell the story. What happened on United 93 is totally unknown to all of us so everything shown in this movie is UNQUESTIONABLY objective and unverifiable.
I never said that movies shouldnt be show in the classroom but only if its understood that they are supplements to the course material and not passed as absolute fact. I'm sorry but I cant support showing a movie to children that is based on circumstational evidence...
