I have a question to ask of the group - I'm interested to hear what others
think.  I had a teacher come in and inquire about tours of our exhibit for
her second graders at a Christian school.  Our exhibit examines man's
relationship with the Chesapeake Bay over time and how that relationship as
impacted on the cultural and environmental heritage of the Bay.  As I showed
the teacher through the exhibit, we came to our section on the tobacco
economy, which of course had a huge impact on life on the Eastern Shore.
The teacher indicated that she would prefer to not have that section be part
of the tour, because they are a Christian school.  I'm just interested to
know if others have ever faced this type of request, and what their thoughts
are on the notion of skipping over parts of history to suit the visitor,
specifically in a docent-lend tour situation.
