As in most situations, there is probably more to this story than has been reported (or that can be reported).  I manage the tour program at a museum in Fort Worth and can say that while this event has scared many teachers it hasn't kept them from bringing their students to this museum.  There seems to be an understanding in this area (one that I share) that there is alot not being said in this situation. Most people are keeping a safe distance from it and hope that it doesn't put ideas into the heads of those who may not have thought of it otherwise.
