Anoka-Hennepin high school teachers are giving a thumbs-down to a new policy that requires them to submit any PG-13 or unrated films to the school district for review before they can be used.
Documentaries are exempt, and R-rated films have required approval for a decade.

Teaching!! Pubblik Skoos aren't for teaching; they are daycare centers for parents who don't want to be bothered with raising their children because they want to do their own thing.
