So then it's ok to show a video of a pregnancy in our schools without parental consent because it's a pregnancy? So something has to rank up there as an atrocity in order to not be viewed in schools?

I usually agree with you Rudey, but education is education like I said in my original post. Watching a video about pregnancy in health class is education and to me, so is watching the Nick Berg video, it's education to how sick this world is and how atrocities like this exist.

I'd only have a problem with it if children were being "forced" to watch it, but if they are warned and allowed to leave beforehand then I don't see anything wrong with it.

And my pregnancy in health class video was just an example. We were given no fair warning of what it would be and we weren't allowed to leave class. I was underage and I saw a vagina and I didn't need parental consent....

Now that was just a specific example but I've also seen other things in school like videos on the Holocaust and other videos from WWI and WWII that honestly made my stomach turn more than the Nick Berg video.

It's only bad when it's something we don't want people to see and I'm sorry but that's straight bullshit.
