If a teacher is presenting material you find offensive and nonacademic, you can demand that the principal find another class or activity for your child to participate in. The principal will kick up a fuss, and tell you your child will be harmed because his/her peers saw the thing and they will tease your child.

Don't worry about it. By law, at least in California, the principal must let you make the decision and find another activity for your child. Don't worry about your child either, because in reality,the other kids will be jealous because your child will get to do something "interesting" while they are stuck in class watching a stupid movie.

Let other parents know so that they can opt out their children.

Demand a curriculum review with the teacher, and find out what else is planned for the school year. This movie probably isn't the worst this instructor is going to do, although its bad enough.Bump your concerns up to the head teacher and the principal. Don't let them tell you "you're the only one to complain". In almost every instance that is an outright lie, but they don't want you to know other parents are unhappy because you might get together enough people to actually change the curriculum for the better.

thank you so much for all of that info! And you hit the nail on the head. The Principle made a statement to me, that this might cause hard feelings, I told him it bygod better not affect my daughter's grades of there would be hell to pay! And he knows I mean it!(from a previous confrontation) Nor shall she be singled out and reticuled! I let him know, I am not playing, and he knows I carry a copy of the Constitution! LOL
