In THEORY, I think it was ok, but consider this:
If, in a movie, they had shown an actual clip on someone being beheaded, it would certainly have garnered an NC-17 rating. While the majority of high-school seniors are 17 and older, a few are not (I was 16 and a senior). Therefore, it's the moral equivalent of showing a rated R movie to a 8th grade class, but giving the kids the option of watching or not.
Still, if you don't have a stick up your behind about these technicalities, I thinki it's ok. seniors ought to be old enough to make that kind of decision. Watching it certainly would make kids more concerned about american history and what's going on in the world.
