As always I bow to the wisdom of the students. Not one student indicated that they
wanted to discuss the 9/11 anniversary. In fact to validate the vote I asked who
wanted to go on with the planned lesson and EVERY hand went up.
Now was scares me is that I just reviewed a textbook coming out next year that devotes
the whole first chapter to this issue (although in my review I did suggest they tone
it down a bit).
Thanks to all for the discussion on this issue.
