The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been forced to remove sections of a children’s coloring book from its website after concerned parents made complaints regarding the use of crude images of the 9/11 attacks.
The disaster preparedness activity book, titled ‘A Scary Thing Happened,’ features various disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, and includes an illustration on it’s cover showing what is clearly one of the World Trade Center towers on fire with a plane flying toward the second tower.
The image is repeated within the book three times on a single page, which children are encouraged to color in.
The caption above reads, “You might hear about it again and again on the T.V. or radio or read about it in the newspaper.”
What a great agency. Scare the hell out of the little ones so they have nightmares for the next few years.
