Should we remove any violence out of history books for young students?

Should they not learn about the wars that were fought to free our nation and in those wars there were guns, people were shot, killed, bloods typically comes out of a person's shot body, this is part of history. Shielding kids from it does nothing but hides them from truths.

What age can we start introducing cold hard truths about man kind and what has been done in battles, war and etc.


There are plenty of 11 year olds that hunt and fish, shoot guns, cleaned their dead deer, fish and etc.

Drawing a gun, bloodshed and etc shouldn't be prohibited if the topic calls for it, there's a difference in depiction of those things.

The problem is the teachers don't want to actually have to do their job and actually interpret the kids work if it has to do with a violent topic. Can't shield them forever nor should they be, otherwise how would they learn the consequences of violence

The PC crowd is just a bunch of pussies.

Relax, snowflake. When I was 11 my favorite books were Redwall and Animal Farm, I had seen Old Yeller, I had a collection of nerf guns, and my friends and I would play cops and robbers on the playground. I also shot real guns with my grandparents and dad.
