Oliver Stone to make movie on Bush.

I cringed when I heard that a teacher at my daughter's high school was screening "JFK" as part of a History class. :covri:

Afterward, I subjected my daughter to the History Channel myth debunking show about the assassination. :9:

Why? Were you privy to the whole lesson, or just assumed that the teacher showed the film as reflecting historical truth?

He/She might have shown the film to point out the historical inaccuracies and America's fascination with conspiracies.

I showed parts of Birth of a Nation to my class, not because I think the film reflects any historical accuracy, but explained that it's a snapshot of dominant attitutudes about race relations in 1915.
