No, I don't think this is too much; this is the REALITY of what we face.

Exactly what I was thinking. They started us on a Holocaust unit in 6th grade, so that's when I was (iirc) 11-12.
The students can find the video just about anywhere anyway, this is just cutting out the middleman. If the students wanted to see it on the internet they'd have downloaded it. If they wanted to see it in class, they'd have opted into it.
I think the teacher perhaps had poor judgement for stepping outside the curriculum with anything unapproved, they're very stringent about that in places. But aside from that, I see nothing wrong with his actions and I think the suspension is overblown.
