I certainly agree with you there! I would charge that kind of social problem on the shoulders of the parents...not the teachers or the school. If Mom/Dad (assuming the kid has one of each) ignore the media content their offspring
is absorbing, the rest of society eventually pays the price when their Twerp exposes his interpretation of that media. IMO the boy is acting out his EMINEM fantasy.
I confess ignorance of the content of THE HOURS; I don't attend the movies, and our Greatkids see only Pg13 MOVIES as yet. MTV, BET, and daytime soap operas, which I also
skip, are bad enough for me.

Careful of the PG13 movies. Many of them are much worse than the R movies, imo. You can get heavy sexual content in a PG13 movie, even nudity. Many R movies are R for the violence or languange only. And when a liberal rates violence, they always rate it worse than it is, again, imo. Context matters. Liberals were outraged at The Passion of the Christ and thought even teens shouldn't see it, yet they are just fine with trash like Along Came Polly and many others. Their values are not my values, therefore their rating are not always a reliable guide for me and mine.

I am not even all that strict really. No gay stuff and no naked people. But you'd be shocked at how difficult it is to find a movie without those things these days.
