That tape has no place in schools. All showing it would accomplish is encourage students to hate. Some would hate the people who actually committed the act, or maybe Al-Qaeda. While i abhor hate whoever its directed against, this response is not too bad, at least the people who are hated are deserving of that hate. However some others would just hate Arabs, or Iraqis. Showing the tape would encourage racism.
If you support showing this tape in American schools, you should also support showing tapes of the innocent victims of US/British/Israeli etc military actions in middle eastern schools. I support neither - encourage students to give rational/intellectual responces, not emotional ones.
