Well Sebastianos, of course kids are not adults. Still I can't agree with you. The kids already take your point of view as the truth, at least you must be able to explain them the facts instead of hiding some of them because it's easier not to consider them. And the key point here is that you can't be against censorship but at the same time in favour of "benevolent" control of information. There's no good or bad control of information, either there's censorship or there isn't; every system of censorship is based on an ideology that argues that the censoring is done for some "common good", every one of them that ever existed.
I can't grasp the logic in your example either, it seems as if you were saying that kids are better off being artificially kept ignorant of famines in Africa (to the extent of banning the broadcasting of related news?) because otherwise the teacher would have to explain them what a food shortage is. So what? Kids will come up with stupid explanations about why the child in the image is starving, of course, they're kids and know nothing about the world, that's why they're at school.
