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!

..some teachers think they have a mandate to indoctrinate our children...
..but there needs to be factual details.....
...so far, this is anecdotal.
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, the dad called into a Radio show, waited on hold and got through to the talk show host...and this all happened TODAY?!?
Now I didn't think of that. Yes, I could see that happening.
This is completely off subject, but what is that meter at the top of the page that shows how much money they have gotten, and what is the money for?
Don't forget.. the internet pirates have been posting this trash all over the web for weeks.. It can be downloaded and burned to DVD quite easily.
Amazing what people can accomplish isn't it? That is you point I'm assuming. (/sarcasm)
You're new here, aren't you?
Illegal, but that would never stop any loyal dem would it?
I guess I meant that I could put together good DVDs in which the parents could undo the damage done at skule. ;)
About two months, been reading a few years, but never got a name until recently.
Well, I've seen bootlegs of that DVD on the streets since the day it was released in the theaters.
Aha - a lurker but not a poster...this is hugh and series! Come back to this post in a few months and you might laugh.
Pirated copies have been available for months.
You can say that again!!!!
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
I doubt the teacher is showing an illegal, bootlegged copy of an R-rated movie to his class without parental or school permission.
The whole story sounds...far-fetched.
Did anything come of this? Any updates?
