1. They weren't forced/required to watch the video.
2. It's readily available on the internet anyhow.

That said, the teacher did display poor judgment - he probably should have consulted with administration first and notified parents that he was going to show the video, included justification of why he thought it was relevant to the class, and given parents an option to request that their kids not watch it. It is graphic, and they should have at least been warned.
