DEATH IN THE CLASSROOM 20/20: WELCOME TO THE SHOCKING DEATH EDUCATION

DEATH IN THE CLASSROOM 20/20: WELCOME TO THE SHOCKING DEATH EDUCATION


By Tony DiGirolamo

I know this is controversial to do but I feel it is vital to the well being of our children in the public schools. I feel ABC News had this hidden from the American people and it must be revealed for every parent. This video on 20/20 called "Death in the Classroom" was broadcast in 1990. It was shocking when it first aired, but even more shocking ... Why didn't they revisit that segment as they knew that Columbine was part of that 20/20 report?

NOTE: Psychologist William R. Coulson was a contributor to Culture Shock in 1999. He returned to Columbine shortly after the shooting and he was shocked to find that they were still teaching "Death Education in the Classroom"! He was a guest on that 20/20 program ... nine years earlier.

I have been speaking to Lisa Shreve, a producer of the piece on 20/20.

I asked her, when the Columbine shooting happened you felt the need to explore the Death Education Curriculum that you found in your report? You wanted to revisit the piece because you felt it was related to the Columbine shooting, right?

"Yes I did", producer at 20/20, Lisa Shreve said. She received resistance to bringing this story into focus.. 20/20 did not want to do it.
