Posted by Rebecca on 10/13/08 I disagree with the comment that kids are exposed to all kinds of violence anyway. Yes, many kids play violent video games or watch violent movies. But some do not. Some chose not to. If I were shown some of the images you describe it is very likely I would at least feel faint if not faint and I would never view your class the same again because you forced me to look at images like that. You have yet to convince me in any posts in this thread that what you want to do is directly tied to the curriculum and essential for kids understanding of your curriculum standards. Instead it really looks like you are trying to push an agenda. It doesn't sound like you will have any chance to give students adequate background on these images which will come from so many different time periods.
