What was in the clip that was actually shown? A sunset to demonstrate cinematography?

Osborne said there have been few complaints from parents over the showing of the film, which has been noted by critics for its rich photography. Director Ang Lee won the Oscar this year for best director.

More and more, the agenda activists are deliberately pushing their agenda in conservative areas, and with the help of the ACLU, suing school districts who refuse to comply.
THIS is why we need to get "special rights" out of our laws. ALL of them. And yes, including the upcoming bill for a Marriage Amendment!

What was in the clip that was actually shown? A sunset to demonstrate cinematography?Exactly. The reporter failed to do his job by not giving more details. What was the topic they were studying? What was shown? Why was it shown? Was there another film, without the controversy, that could have been used? Why this particular film? Did the teacher, knowing the film's controversy, consult the principal before hand and if so was if approved, or if the principal wasn't consulted then why not?

What was in the clip that was actually shown? A sunset to demonstrate cinematography? I do not know. I can assume based upon experience with the MSM that when such details are "ommited" they usually do not serve the purpose of the reporters agenda...

I would also like to know what specific 2 1/2 minute segment was shown. I have not seen the movie, but I suppose its possible that there is a 2 1/2 minute stint that is cinemagraphically fantatstic but has nothing to do with homosexuality.
To: DBeers
He declined to say if any action was taken against the teacher who showed the film. Another big problem

"a group of students petitioned to form a gay awareness club"
Was there anyone out there who was not aware of gays? This needed a club?

Scene 123: Take 3!
Scene 123: Take 4!

If the teacher had shown any questionable scenes, or any scenes the reporter thought people would find shocking, you can be sure they would be detailed in the article.

It seems each day brings news of our disintegrating culture! I was very fortunate in knowing the person who heads our town's main supermarket and prevailed upon him to remove "Brokeback Mountain" from the movie rental shelves. It is a real war these days!

"What was in the clip that was actually shown? A sunset to demonstrate cinematography?"
Even if it was, it manipulatets the kids in to wanting to see more of that particular movie. I'm sure that if the focus was on sunsets in cinematography there are other sunsets in other movies which would've served the purpose.
Home schooling kids and taking away the per-student stipend to schools is a good way to drive change.

I haven't seen BM and don't' want to but wouldn't presume to try to prevent other adults from seeing it.
