Differing Opinions/Perspective
Lorna w Goodman
And there could also be families here with a differing opinion; for the
life of me I can't understand how lampooning the U.S. or inflaming others
about the situation in Iraq helps me as I unschool my children...if we
are to model tolerance for our children then let us apply that tolerance
across the board. Propaganda works both ways.
Thank you Joyce,
Lorna Goodman

My brother fought in the first Persian War and I still opposed that
war. What does having someone in the armed forces got to do with?
Still, if there ever was a crowd who would have appreciated Terry
Jones' humor was on this list (and I did get a few notes from people
who appreciated it). I see no reason for censorship which I see as
diametrically opposed to unschooling. Goes to show there are always
contradictions and conflicts in any system. Tant pis.

It wasn't censorship. It was a request for courtesy, which isn't opposed to
unschooling.
It was a request for staying on topic, which is fine. It's a big damned
internet, and you can read all the war humor and commentary and cartoons and
rude animations and play-by-play commentary anyone could ever want on the
internet.
Censorship would be someone keeping this list from existing.
You can start your own list and discuss ANYTHING without being censored, but
on someone else's list you're limited to what they want to allow.

Have a Nice Day!
I don't think it was censorship. I think it was a request for sensitivity.
