The same would go, in my opinion, for racist hate-literature regardless of the source.

but if we don't teach our kids about knife fighting for fun and profit, who will? better they learn it from books and dad than on the streets. 
i'd put Fight Club, both book and film, in every school. i've learned more about being a man and a citizen of the modern age from that movie than i have from anywhere else.

I agree. Kids are going to knife fight. They always have.
We don't want them to do it wrong and we need to teach them the right way.
Westside Story and
The Outsiders. Even religious types discuss knife fighting such as in
The Cross And The Switchblade.
You can't stop kids from knife fighting.
