As a former aqua cluster student I find this pretty ridiculous. The "muscular style teaching" that the Bristol parent finds suspicious just means that everything is hands on. We performed area plays with props and costumes made by us as accurately as possibly and had to make art projects about the eras. Still sound suspicious?.... Didn't think so. As for the subject of the play, its been done for years, and does have a good lesson at the end. Leave it to one bad egg, as usual, to blow things out of proportion.

Tell me, do some of you post the same crap about "yeah just take it out of the curriculum!" On every uncomfortable subject?

When I was in third grade it was tradition in primrose to read the first harry potter book in class until one parent cried out saying that the school was "trying to teach our children about witchcraft"... Pretty dumb right? So is this.

Dressing kids up for a part in an educational play doesn't turn them into a bigot, and if that's the point of concern for you, you may need to reassess your values.
