Having grown up in Welch West Virginia, about 30 minutes from Matewan, West Virginia, I dont know why that would get you martyr status. Class struggle was a lot clearer there and quite often school teachers were married to coal miners, or the principal had family that worked in the coal mines...If they did show that movie, it would teach them nothing new but rather confirm there experience.
