Chicago Girl Sues Teacher for Showing 'Brokeback Mountain' to Class | NewsBusters.org

Chicago Girl Sues Teacher for Showing 'Brokeback Mountain' to Class NewsBusters.org:

"According to the suit, a substitute teacher introduced herself as Ms. Buford to
Jessica's class at Ashburn Community Elementary School, 8300 S. St. Louis Ave.
She then said, 'What happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class,'
the suit claims. Buford then had a student close the door, and started showing
the controversial R-rated film, which features two men engaged in sex."


Because this is gay sex this is going to be a political issue, used by those on the right to attack the gay agenda and by those on the left to attack religion in school. I think the thing that is clear here is that students should not have been watching an R rated movie, with sex in it. It wouldn't matter if it had been a movie that contained straight sex, it would have been wrong. I think it is a moral issue, children should not be shown R rated movies, plain and simple. The teacher was a substitute, my guess is she knew that it was wrong, and she did it believing that there would be minimal actions taken. I think she should be suspended from teaching.
