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.
