It's unfortunate to hear most of them identifying themselves as Americans - nationalism throughout school life so far has reinforced narrow-minded nationalism. It automatically sets up a dichotomy between "us" and "them". The kids were even using the "us" and "them" division to express their points of view on this. I wish kids are shown how to relate with people across all cultures, and consider themselves a human of this planet rather than the simple, short-sighted nationalistic identification attached to a given country... I think there would be a lot less social problems if that was the case perhaps.

i remember when the twin towers got bombed, i was in my home period class in the 5th grade, everyone was working quietly, then some kid, who knows who, bursted in and yelled franticly "someone flew an airplane into a building in new york city!" or something along those lines ...all i could think of was "COOL!" so i reacted with it :sup: i just though it to be cool since it was making people act so crazy and emotional. no one else in my class said a thing. immediately my teacher looked at me in shame and said "No philip, not cool!". all well, i knew something was up, i don't regret my reaction.

Hah. I was in 4th grade and it was on the news right before I went to school. Some parents didn't let their kids go to school that day because they were paranoid about I-don't-know-what.

I feel old.

And although Bread and I certainly have our different opinions on social policy, he is pretty close to the mark with the teaching of nationalism being one of the biggest problems in the world today. That sort of indoctrination has no place in the modern world.

yes, yes, yes THANK YOU CHENGOD.

I feel as though I have no affinity with any particular culture or nation, I am human that's bad enough.

Yea, that William sounded intelligent and level-headed.

Sheeit, I was in 5th grade when it happened. We all watched it Live on the news, it was pretty crazy. At the time I was more sad because we were losing two fantastic looking buildings that were considered landmarks. It sunk in about 2 hours later that people were dieing as well.

When I switched high schools, I found out that those students didn't get to watch it on TV. All they knew is that the U.S. was under attack. Teachers handled it so poorly, IMO. Rumors were flying around like crazy.

I'm currently writing a research paper analyzing textbook content. The sad fact is that there are only a handful of publishing companies in the world due to many buy-outs and acquisitions through the 90's. California, Texas and Florida are the largest markets for textbooks, but textbooks are state controlled in these states (one book is approved for use across the state). Add in that the public can address any issues they have with the content of the books and you get people/groups of people trying to push their personal agendas through textbook content (ie Intelligent Design, American exceptionalism, gender roles etc.) The publishers know what is considered permissible by these extremist groups and now self-censor watering down content and imo hurting the students in the long run.

Story of America really.
