Both would be cases of hiding from reality. It's a fact that "Birth of a Nation" exists. To deny that is to sanitize history. We studied this film when I was at Purdue.

BINGO!

I think HBO's decision to not air Gone With The Wind was well intended but wrong headed. They made it clear that they would comment on it after, as to use it as a learning tool. 

It would also be absurd to shut down the Holocaust Museum because it depicts human cruelty. 


Nobody can change the zeitgeist of the movie at the time, but it should be kept as a learning tool.
