Family of girl, 12, sues after 'Brokeback' shown in class
Its not the fact that its a gay movie its the fact 12 year olds should not see an R rated movie in a class room its just wrong.Now if these kids want to see an R rated movie they should do what we use to do a sneak into a theartre and watch it.A teacher that stupid should not be allowed to teach.

they dont teach about same sex relationships in school (sex ed)
well not yet anyway.
it would confuse any young kid. how much it confuses them, depends on their age.
I think it's crazy. I'd be pissed if it were my kid. but:hippy: live and let live

While I partially agree that an R rated movie didn't belong in school, I's also convinced this is nothing more than a feeble attempt to make some money. Perhaps perceptions have changed since I was that age, as indicated by studies showing age 10 to be the new 15. If her parents let her watch R rated movies at home, then the forceful complaint is baseless. Punish the sub, but for the love of god, don't give these money grubbers a dime.

Honestly, what could Brokeback Mountain have to do with anything these kids are learning in school? Its about to gay guys falling in love in the west in the 1960s. Really, how can that relate to anything these kids are learning in class. Dumb ass teacher. That movie shouldnt be shown in class. First of all its rated R. Second of all it deals with sexuality. Be it homosexuality or heterosexuality, fucking should not be shown to kids in middle school. Maybe some diagrams as to how the penis and vagina work but come on. Althought i gotta say the girls family is pretty retarded. $400,00 ??? Are they mad, do they really think they will get that much money?

that's a bit much to ask a little girl when the teacher tells you to watch the movie
in highschool a friend and i didn't want to watch a film because of content, so we just went and studied in the library, but had to fight a bit for it; can't expect a little girl to do that

She had the choice to "watch" the video or not, i remember when i was in sex ed in like 7th grade, i didnt feel like watching a woman give birth on tv, so i just put my head down and took a nap... i since have grown up since then and am a proud father, but still, its just the point.. suing in this country has gotten way out of hand... next time someone looks at me wrong, im gonna sue them for emotional distress since im depressed! damn our country is full of idiots... what next?

Since im a conspiracy type person...i have a theory... maybe that teacher was in cahoots with the girl grandparents and they gonna split it with her, maybe thats why they sueing for sooo much...
