Pilot Program Will Teach CA Students about 9/11

NEW YORK (AP) -- Sept. 11 family members and college professors have unveiled a plan to teach junior and senior high school pupils about the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The 9/11 curriculum was announced Tuesday in New York City. It will be taught in pilot programs this year in California, Indiana, New Jersey, Illinois and Kansas.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani was among those interviewed by the educators who developed the curriculum.

Giuliani said there's a natural tendency to forget the events as the years go by.

But he said the threat of terrorism still exists, and it's important for children to develop an understanding of 9/11. He said this curriculum offers a sensitive way to do that.

1. How about they just study history?
You know, how empire has always extended its reach to subjugate people. And how money seeks to addict and enslave people. And how propaganda is most effective when the lies are really big, repeated over and over. And how when a strong nation waves its flag, it's a pretty accurate indicator of fascism.

We don't need a stinkin' 9/11 curriculum; we need some serious history.
