eye for an eye and all that jazz...

You know, it might just be that some questions though offensive can provoke discussion.

How about this one? "You are a wealthy New Yorker of Pakistani heritage and have a live in Pakistani housekeeper. Your wife
took the housekeeper's visa and she is being held under duress. She is paid a small allowance and meals. How do you correct her for substandard work." This actually happened in this century.

Discussion of horrible topics does not mean acceptance or normalization of same. I guess it depends on the lesson, the kiddos and the
teachers.
