We never showed a video/movie without having previewed it and agreeing to the appropriateness of its use to the subject of discussion.
However - IMO - this video is an appropriate video to be used for a high school level speech, government, or film course to engage in an age appropriate discussion of point of view, the influence of Hollywood or Madison Avenue on our culture, the use of subliminal and overt messaging in advertising, etc. |
You're laying out a pretty specific set of circumstances...and also requires that the teacher moderating the discussion is not a Obamaton.
I really don't want this propaganda opportunity anywere near my grade school aged kids. Just doesn't feel right to me.
