I guess you don't have a problem with that idea of makeing Auchwitz the musical. I had this arguement with neon samaiari ,, they shouldn't have used kids, that didn't know the history of the event,, I can't say for a fact the kids didn't know the history,, that will come out when this story unfolds. But this lays the question what are they teaching our kids,,if they are not teaching our kids how to be citizens of this great nation and how to function in it,, then what are we paying all this money out to education for,, to teach our kids that communism is a nice warm and fuzzy little bunny..
I'm sorry you belong to the 47% about whom Romney gives a damn about, this way I can even less understand you supporting him.
Since you asked: monitor: Slovakia, smartphone (non i): Korea, computer: different components: mostly Taiwan, but also Germany - though my mouse is from China
I am not claiming to be hollier than though, I am talking about how not to support a dictatorship with only little effort - just keep you eyes open what and where you buy. Even if you have little money, I am sure you sometimes buy stuff. For example you can support your local community when you buy groceries from the farmers market and not from the big food monopolists. This leaves the money in the pockets of the people you care for.

Auschwitz the musical? Why not, if it's good. We already have or people or . The comparision is there, as all those - just like the little HS play - did not glorify the things that happened back then. Hell, in Germany there are people who do plays dressed up as Romans, a bloody occupation force back then.

The kids you are talking about attend a senior HS. I am sure it is still the same as during our school times: they learn about the Russian Revolution in grade 11 or 12. We didn't learn about Communism as fuzzy bunnies back then, but how it was according to scientific research (=history). You can certainly obtain the curriculum of the school district in charge of the HS and the titles of the books they use to learn history if you are concerned the students get indoctrinated.
