I watched this today for the first time because in my local school district a parent complained about it being viewed by students during Black History Month, so it has been removed. It has been a staple for years, but this year many children won't get to see it, because of one person who would fit right in with those screaming white people portrayed in the movie, though they have learned to use a more subtle technique, but sure just as prejudiced. Some of the reviews here saying that it shouldn't viewed by children astonish me. How can one possibly make sense of it being okay for a six year old to live through this experience, but not okay for another child to see what happens when people fail to accept others. Yes, children need to see this movie, especially if it means they learn something that their parents aren't willing to teach them.
