B) This isn't an act of education to show how sick the world is. This was an act to say war is wrong and this is something that we deserved because we went to war. There were no videos and pictures of mutilated Iraqis who died at Saddam's hands. There were no classes on that. In fact it was shown even in an art class. Was this a topic of art?
C) Were this a college class dedicated to torture with advance notice to students with approval from all necessary people, it might be a different case.

You are entitled to your opinion as well as I am to mine.
I do know for sure however that I did not have my parents sign any sort of permission slip for my health class.
Maybe it wasn't "education" for the most part but I still feel it could be acceptable to be shown in a classroom. Because the world is a sick place and some people just don't realize that.
Maybe it was a political agenda and maybe it wasn't. Considering the fact that I wasn't there, I don't know what happened. I'm not sure if the teachers said anything along the lines of "this is why war is bad, this is why we shouldn't have gone to Iraq in the first place or this is what we deserve." Then again, just about every class I've encountered in the last few years has had some sort of political agenda (minus torture videos).
Ah fack it, maybe the teachers should have had permission first, but they didn't. Those students viewed a horrific event that affects all of us (or should to some degree).
