To think so, means that you are taking a political stand. To many Palestinians peace is not generally accepted as good. To Jews in the Warsaw ghetto unconditional peace would not have been a positive outcome. Both peace and imperialism have their good and bad points. I don't happen to believe that teaching children that peace is unconditionally 'good' is wise. Regardless, the question at hand is whether the public schools should be taking political positions. I don't see that teaching about world peace is necessary for a an elementary school education. Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
