Which should be the stronger drive? Self preservation or acting justly? I would say that acting without killing intent is stronger, and that in some cases self sacrifice is necessary to uphold societies ideals.
For 10 years this was fine.
Now, we live in such a PC culture the namby-pambys scream, "Won't someone think of the snowflake children!"
It's gets boring reading a book all the time, listensing to a teacher yammer on At least the teachers were trying to make learning more engaging.

Yep, put the books down, get your hand bound-lay on the floor in a dark room-watch something on tv you had nothing to do with-and have the teachers who are slave ship captains yell stuff at you.

Then what can you base the opinion on? Personal opinion? Personal opinion doesn't go very far when parents are unqualified to comment on the activity. That leads to the ignorant determining policy on things they don't understand. Which tends to be a large issue in our society.

Um, parents are the stop and end all to this kind of "learning". Or do you have another reason to stop it when the light of day was shone on it? It was not stopped immediately because it was not a great idea.
