[edit] Trivia

"The title is a pun on the term "Freedom Riders," the black and white civil rights demonstrators that tested the Supreme Court order for desegregated interstate buses in 1961."

Wouldn't Freedom Fighters be more closer than Freedom Riders? Fissionfox 09:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

a short clip was shown in the film of a documentary the students were watching about the freedom riders. "freedom fighters," on the other hand, was not mentioned in the movie. -Tapd260

In the book, its clearly explained that the name comes from "Freedom Riders". <3Clamster 00:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

It may be worth poinhuhur6rrgrtti ng out that due to censorship within certain countries (United Arab Emirates in particular) the scene inside the museum, and much of the discussion regarding the holocaust was cut. --Celticguy75 12:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

There should be a section on real teachers' reactions to the movie. There were a few in the New York Times. Celticguy makes a great point. The censorship is very relevant. Got a source on that?12.144.50.221 15:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
