Should schools be cancelling field trips just because there is a war going on?

Superintendent Wayne Scarlett doesn't see much sense in letting his students fly to Europe when Americans traveling abroad are being advised to keep a low profile. The district this month canceled a June trip to Europe for 15 high school students, as well as an annual trip to Washington, D.C., for about 40 eighth-graders. The reason: heightened terrorism concerns since the start of the war with Iraq. It's a scene being repeated at schools from Vermont to Florida and from North Carolina to California. Trips to places as far away as Europe and Asia and as close as the museum in a nearby town have been scrubbed. Whether it's to learn about finance on Wall Street or to ride on Dumbo at Disney World, thousands of students are being told it's just not worth the risk...
