Family sue after class watch brokeback

I can't see how the girl can possibly be emotional damaged.

Nothing overtly sexual happens in Brokeback Mountain. It was pathetic and you can tell how staged and un-natural it was.

Biphobia seems to be the problem there and an excuse to make money off the state which I think is disgusting.
 
;14555060']Haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on the content.

I do feel that it was rather irresponsible of the school to allow 12 year olRAB to watch a 15 rated movie.

Plus they probably didn't seek permission from the copyright owner to show the film to an audience.
 
Children of 12 shouldn't be shown R rated movies. But I'm guessing that's not why the parents are suing...

You should read some of the message boarRAB following other sites' reports of the story. You'd think this was 1850, not 2007.
 
Are they suing for money, or for justice? This may be construed as cynical viewpoint, but I very much doubt a single penny will be going towarRAB the child
 
batman is pg-13 here and since schools seem to have a record of doctrinating kiRAB latley maybe this will be a lesson to stop it. They had no right showing an r-rated film and children should learn life lessons from the parents. You see here we have students coming forward saying they are threaten with a failing grade if they refuse to watch Al Gore's movie. Seems to me Gore is setting up his own youth army. Gore's youth.
 
I don't know why the film was shown. Allowing a class of 12 year olRAB to watch a 15 film, is hardly anything to get worked up about! I'd even seen loaRAB of 18 rated films at that age, as I'm sure most people had aswell.

What I find laughable is the girl was emotionally damaged. I mean seriously??

Seeing two men may be uncomfortable viewing for some, but tolerable. emotionally damaged would be seeing someone killed, or possibly losing some one very close, a couple of screen kisses is pathetic
 
they are probley wanting to sue because the film is extremly boring.

back in my day - i was greatful for anything that got us off doing lessons. the girl should be awarding the school!
 
Pathetic.

Homophobia at large in the US once again, and emotional damage? Get used to it dear, you'll be seeing a lot more. I'm actually so utterly offended at them suing for damages, I suddenly feel like the family have emotionally damaged me in the process! That'll be $4,000,000 please.

Besides, there is a clause on the age rating for educational establishments if there's a good reason. My tutor told me about it at college (I'm 22, but some students are under 18) and we watch a tremendous amount of 18 rated films as part of our course.
 
Not if she doesn't want to which is sort of the point - she didn't have the choice, supposedly.

I have so many stupid anxieties I've had since school that should have been diagnosed and cured at the time, but there were certain things (some trivial) that made me physically sick.
 
But the thing is school isn't a choice. I'm sure if we had a choice about going to school, many of us wouldn't.

I've often felt uncomfortable in R.e. when they showed pictures of people at the holocaust. Now that's real emotional disturbance
 
I can only laugh at things like this.

Though, while I think suing is ridiculous, I, too, would be a bit pissed off if someone showed an adult movie to my underage kid without my contest. I'm not into overprotectiveness but I think parents have the right to know about such things and the right to choose for their child if they want.

My school never showed us any shocking movies. We watched stuff like the Muppet Christmas Carol and The Princess Bride...and that was in secondary!
 
I don't know whether by 'adult movie' you think this is a porn film. It certainly isn't. And it's not really a shocking film, it's actually quite boring
