Beaumont is a labor union town.
Well Beaumont is my town and this has gotten a lot of people hot. Here is an exerpt from the original report that ran on October 9th.
BEAUMONT -- One local parent is upset that his son viewed the controversial and political film "Fahrenheit 9/11" in English class Friday.
Michael Kurth, a Beaumont business owner, described his reaction as "livid" that his son's class at Pathways Learning Center was shown the R-rated film, directed by Michael Moore, without parental consent.
His son Matthew, 17, said that he put his head on his desk and tried to sleep through it. "It bothered me," he said.
Kurth, 39, a veteran, said he was opposed to the film based on its rating and political partisanship.
