I live and teach junior high in a university town in California (so, I
wouldn't call us too conservative... our community is sometimes referred
to as the "liberals from Davis").
I would probably leave out the hippyism from the deck when playing Fluxx
with my students; simply to avoid any controversy. In general, I have
found that our community, while very tolerant of alternate lifestyles,
prefers the "don't discuss in our schools" attitude. You have to
remember that teachers are part of a small group of people (including
police officers) who are generally not supposed to appear to have an
opinion on any controversial topic.
I don't think the war and peace would be a problem.
Hope this helps,
Yves

I'm curious... which cards?
I was just having this conversation last night with a friend,
talking about the Christian Fluxx expansion, and wondering if
there were cards in standard Fluxx that would be objectionable
to conservative Christians... and the only cards we came up
with that could maybe be a problem were two goals:
Hippyism and maybe Peace (no war)
Are these really objectionable???
How many teachers here think these cards would be deemed
as objectionable to the staff/parents in your school?
