BREAKING NEWS - A public school student was just punished by her teacher for complaining about the teacher making his class watch Farenheit 911 in Attleboro, MA

Just heard on the Howie Carr show on WRKO –

The father of that student just called to say that his daughter’s teacher brought in a DVD of F911 and told the kids that everything in it was true. He punished the caller’s child for complaining. The attorney father and Howie are going to follow this up with a State Rep and the Governor.

It is R rated!

That teacher ought to be out of a job - immediately. There's no excuse for this.

The NEA probably applauded the decision to fire a teacher for dipslaying a picture of W with the other Presidents but will go to the wall for the Michael Moore acolyte.

Yes, I agree. Fair and balance, present both sides, and boot the teacher out.

I'd want to know more about how the child was punished. Also what the school's policy is concerning showing movies that are R-rated.

The school board needs to be involved in this - and fast...

Any more details on this so we can write to the friendly school board and show our appreciation?
School name?

Now there's a fine critically thinking product of some great & wonderful college ED Dept.....

And they are "teaching" your children.......

We are doomed.....

The DVD just came out today.

So, this teacher bought the DVD, took it to school, showed it to his class, the child told her dad, the dad complained to the school, and the teacher punished the girl for complaining...and this all happened TODAY?!?

I doubt it. This couldn't happen due to school system bureaucratic inertia.

Every time I think of Michael Moore a picture of Kerry pops up in my mind, reason being I remember hearing Kerry's bull back in the Vietnam days. He was just another michael moore but in the 60s and 70s. Now fast forward...can you even think that someone like Moore could get away with running for president? after all his anti America crap

Man, I am in the wrong business. I could have made DVDs and webcasts to help parents undo the damage of a public school education and/or supplement home schooling.

Too bad I am too old to start this up.

Did it just come out today where you live or everywhere? It is possible that the teacher A: lives somewhere where it came out earlier, or B:She somehow got a hold of it with her connections.

Today is the nationwide release date.

I suppose he could have ordeered it from Amazon and it came in the mail yesterday. This all seems like it happened pretty fast, though, don't you think?

Boy, you got one teacher getting fired for putting up a picture of the President of the United States in her 5th grade class and now you this one preaching the discredited Fake-911 as fact.

Public Skewls are a cesspool of liberalism!

It does appear to be a bit of a stretch, but you never know. An interesting story anyway, and it doesn't sound all that unbelievable. It is almost inevitable that something like it will happen.

Imagine if you can.....the NEA sent every dues paying sheeple robot teacher a free copy of F-911.

It's easy if you try.........

Thanks for playing.
