Comments on: "Brokeback" School Viewing Draws Lawsuit

That family is asking too little.
They should be asking for tens of millions.

Let the filth-stirring f@ggots go peddle their *** in the toilets.

The filth-stirring f@ggots are opposed to the christian krap being taught to the children; so that they can brainwash the children with their filthy deviance.

It's about time we begin to confine the f@ggots; because the sick b@stards continue to get more and more brazen as time goes by.

Why don't we just teach our own kids what they should be taught then instead of letting the government to fill kids heads with propeganda and brainwash another generation???

I am sure if it was 'christmas movie', the very same liberal crowd that chastizes the child would be up in arms.

Liberalism is an ideology and should remain outside of our school system.

Hence, just like I dont want a priest teaching in our public schools because he would be preaching religious items..I dont want a liberal to teach as well, they have the tendency to preach liberalism.

The grandfather does sound like a real pretentious and judgemental jerk. The fact that he's right on this one instance doesn't diminish that. It's an R rated movie, and has nothing to do with education - shouldn't have been show. But it was a substitute, so the school district is not responsible. The sub should be at the least reprimanded, and not hired again.


To silly people thinking this is part of some grand liberal conspiracy - as others have said, this is hardly a pro-g-a-y movie - pretty much the opposite. For all we know, this sub is some conservative extremist who wanted to show the kids how awful it was to be a homosexual.

What? Now her perfect little 12 year old world has been exposed to the lies, social pressures, and b.s. *** roles which permeated American culture then (the 60s) and NOW.
Oh, yeah, the wild creativity of the Harry Potter films is okay, but NO ***, especially THAT KIND for our sweet little Midwestern children...HA!

I hope Kenneth Richardson uses the money for some good purpose, like giving it to charity, or helping the school district hire smarter teachers if he wins. I see a real problem with teachers showing R-rated movies without parental permission.

Jimibear-
You are the most absurd person on this message board. So a guy n@iling another guy, groaning in a tent is (physical) content that is of minimal concern to a parent? It's the emotional content that is inappropriate for kids? You know, Dorothy having to leave her friends at the end of Wizard of Oz is emotional.
I didn't see Brokeback, but I did see that scene. Your nuts. How many kids do you have again?
