I remember a few years back in school we were having an open discussion about the holocaust. People brought in news clippings and the such and one girl brought in a clipping of out of the local paper about how the movie Schindlers List was being shown to German youth in German Schools.

I immedietly spoke up about how wrong and unhealthy it is. The class was puzzled as most had seen this as a great thing. My argument was that having just watched the movie and its graphic content being fresh on my mind was that this was far to inepropriate for children! The article went on to say that the movies were being shown to youth as young as 8!!!!!

Talk about rubbing their nose in it. Nobody under the age of 16 should have ever seen this film. Education is one thing but seeing and being taught that your society is evil from the age of 8 is paramount to commiting national suicide in my oppinion. Few in my class felt sorry for the Germans and felt it was okay. But a couple including my teacher actually saw my point. Education is one thing, but tramatising youth into future guilt is another.
