Did this guy actually see the movie?

Public schools just don't have enough history, they prefer LIBERAL guilt trips, like this: Upscale school revives a satire about race*** Fears lurked near the surface among her fellow thespians-in-training. Maybe blacks in the audience would take offense at references to "darkies" or "jigaboos." Or whites would resent being portrayed as fumblers who couldn't change a diaper or cook an egg without help. Or maybe everyone would sigh impatiently at yet another lecture on the virtues of diversity.

"I'm sure I'll get comments, like, 'Enough of this white-bashing,' " said Ms. Freeman, a 22-year-old English and theater teacher. "Of course, I worry about it, but I'd rather that theater be provocative than predictable."***

As we were leaving the theatre Saturday after seeing Gods and Generals(which we thoroughly enjoyed) four teenage boys were behind us. One commented to the others as to how great the movie was and the others agreed. Then he said, "My teacher told us not to waste our time that it was a terrible movie. I don't know why he said that."

If our young people ever learn to think for themselves the liberal establishment will be out of business.
