> it didn't focus on the content of the book that may disturb children, but rather on the occasional use of crude language and sexual discussions. Yeah, it seems to miss the point. You can ask whether a topic like this is appropriate for children of a certain age. For eighth graders, I think it is. But for younger children, maybe not. There is also a question of whether exposure to this sort of thing -- this true destruction of innocence -- achieves what it sets out to. I have seen historical sites like these that have made a serious impression on me -- and I'm not sure a good one. Combined with the forms of argument, the dehumanization, the dishonesty, that I see routinely on the Internet, I end up profoundly distrustful of people, especially people in groups. And then I think -- is that a good thing? For it to be brought to everyone's attention that genocide is an option and a possibility? One that, perhaps, they need to prepare for? One that, perhaps, their enemies are plotting? "God, well if that's what's going on, maybe we need to get them first!" I don't know. I'm not really making this argument. When push comes to shove I think it's part of a complete education. But seeing some of these things has actually fucked with me a little.
