Not For the Kiddies?

FEMA's pulling a September 11 educational coloring book on the grounds that it was misinterpreted too often to be uesful. It's too bad. I remember on 9/11, my school district banned all information about the unfolding crisis from my sister's middle school, creating, I think, a greater sense of shock when kids got home, and denying them the opportunity to learn about what was going on in an environment where teachers could discuss context, counselors were available, and everyone was accounted for and safe. Almost 8 years later, the need for education and reasonable discussion remains.
