I teach multiple courses on Outschool dealing with history that includes subjects such as concentration camps, treatment of prisoners, war crimes, pandemics so I have experience covering difficult and painful subjects with young adults.

This course is about a war.  It includes lots of visual material that inevitably will include dead bodies or wounded individuals.  We will talk about My Lai as well as the NVA execution of civilians at Hue.  I'm knowledgable about these events and have experience working with young adults on similar subjects but they involve killing and some war crimes.
I'll mention popular fiction and a range of media resources about the war during class for people who want to immerse themselves in this subject.
