Amazingly, one of my high school English teachers was a young, anti-drug fairly conservative Jewish guy who was into science fiction.

Of course my high school also showed the students Roman Polanski's MacBeth. The one funded by Playboy. The parental consent forms for the "R" rated movie mentioned "some violence". Of course the forms totally failed to mention the nude witches, the nude Lady MacBeth, and the maid getting raped on the hallway. This was in the early 1980s.

The real nutcase was the Psychology teacher. She thought that parents arranging for their young teenage daughters to lose their virginity with older guys was a great idea.

This is, of course, part of why I'm so interested in home schooling and/or private religious schools as an alternative to public schools.

Roman Polanski's "MacBeth"

Not only was it coarse, but it dispensed with much of the dialog.

So, did he recommend reading Robert A. Heinlein's works??
