Now, now.  Be nice.

So, you think the Enola Gay exhibit should have gone ahead?  If so, I
agree.  But is that not also a form of re-educating?  Or is it simply
educating, opinions on the past not necessarily reflecting real knowledge?

re:  Indigo Nights' note:
Oh, super, now we've gotten onto PC.  Well then, in a museum context, I
think an important element of museum interpretation is the presentation of
straight, accurate facts.  I think that museums that only present
information favorable to one philosophy, so as to not offend anyone,
stink.  I know that, while I think that museums should educate, plenty of
other people believe they should re-educate.  I think all of those people
are dopes--oops, sorry, those people are misled.
