The Tale of George Atzerodt

[L Verge]

I guess that I worry more about what children ages 4-12 are viewing on the evening news with constant reruns of the Boston Marathon bombings, the hell that is going on in Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries, etc. Granted that most children do not watch the news, but many are playing games on their hand-held devices while the news is blaring in the background.

Those children are learning the horrors of life without learning the context that goes with it. The children's books on the assassination are being bought by parents and educators and (hopefully) read with the children while giving guidance on how to understand the situation. Blindly listening to the news or using other electronic "learning" devices don't have the same effect, IMO.
