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).

Showing this in an art class and saying "That's why we shouldn't be at war" makes it political to me. I'd like to hear your opinion on how it isn't.
