The book is about a mother who abandons her children because she is being pursued by the FBI for planting pipe bombs in nuclear plants and for throwing molotov cocktails at limousines. I wonder if the Columbine killers played this game. Children were required to sit in circles and do chants to the rain gods. When clouds appeared overhead, the children were told that their prayers were being answered. Death Education Death education is commonplace in many classrooms across the country including classrooms at Columbine High School.
Death education is introduced in a variety of different ways and under a variety of names.
Death education is taught to an entire classroom and it is taught by a teacher who is not a licensed psychologist. A Part of Life , by George G. Otero and Zoanne Harris, deals with various burial customs and includes a variety of exercises for children to perform. Student assignments include visits to the local cemetery, reading obituaries, and writing their own obituaries. Children are forced to perform these activities under the guise of religious customs and cultural diversity while the politicians sit around and agonize over whether or not to allow prayer in school. One thing is certain, there was a whole lot of praying going on at Columbine High School the day of the killings.
