The “Classroom” Agenda

Typical that a teacher, most likely a person who votes left of center, would show such a film to eighth graders. I mean, some school districts are showing fifth and sixth graders how to condoms on, why not give them visuals on when to use them.

A 12-year-old girl who says she was traumatized when her teacher showed the film "Brokeback Mountain" featuring love scenes with homosexual cowboys is suing the Chicago Board of Education for $500,000.

"What happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class," is what the substitute teacher told eighth-grade students at Ashburn Community Elementary School after showing the R-rated movie, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court.

According to reports, the student, Jessica Turner, claims she suffered psychological distress after watching the movie, which stars Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as two cowboys who fall in love and includes love scenes between the two men and between the men and their wives.

"It is very important to me that my children not be exposed to this," Turner's grandfather and guardian, Kenneth Richardson, told the Chicago Tribune. "The teacher knew she was not supposed to do this. ... It's like I told the principal, she should have better control over her teachers."

Uh, did she know? If she did, then she was being knowingly revolutionary. By revolutionary, I mean like in the novel The Animal Farm, when the pups were taken by the “State” and “educated”, so to are these teachers of the liberal mindset wanting to undermine tradition mores that our country both was founded on and the majority of parents believe in.
