In response to the conversation about humor and genocide (from Ms. Finn)

Hello class:

Thank you for such a lively and interesting blog. I want to encourge you to keep up the conversation and continue to look for meaningful thought provoking connections.

You will notice that I have removed the video that was posted over the weekend. I have saved the comments written in response to this video and these will be reposted. I have also kept the questions that went along with the video (which are definately worth considering). We will talk more in class about my decision to remove the video.

In the meantime, please consider the questions that we have been pondering about free speech vs. responsibility and the role that public forums (such as this blog) play in helping to memorialize and instruct others about genocide.

Best,
Ms. FInn

before we discuss it in class, why don't we discuss possible reasons for removing it here? why do you think that it was removed? do you think it was the right decision? why?
