Which freedom is being limited? Noone is saying don't discuss and debate it, just don't be purposely offensive to your Islamic pupils and the local Muslim community.I don’t think because something is centuries old it deserves more respect. Especially when it’s limiting other people’s freedom.
As for your last point. Yes you can also discuss a movie and don’t watch it but it’s always better to watch is it to have a opinion that actually has some merit.
As for the movie analogy, obviously it helps to watch and understand a two hour plot line before discussing it and in a world where it is not offensive yes it could help discussion to show the pictures. But surely it is better to describe a depiction to discuss than purposely alienate a section of your classroom. And even if it is not seen, opinions expressed will still certainly have merit as it is not exactly the style of the picture being discussed here.
