So sorry if I get a little upset about things like this, but when you've seen a friend be USED for a crusade he would have wanted NOTHING to do with in his life, you might think a little differently.

I'm very sorry about your friend and the aftermath of his death. I am sorry that his death was exploited, especially in a way that his family and friends could see did not honor his memory.
But I think you are confusing the neutral concept of a "teachable moment" -- which simply means a situation that opens the door for difficult but necessary discussions -- with "exploitation."
