I disagree about suing - it is taxpayers that always wind up paying these settlements. The people in charge should lose their jobs, though.

Oh yeah, the homosexual cowboy film. What’s the matter with that school, thinking twelve is too young to be indoctrinated with pro-homosexual propoganda? Bet the ACLU is on this one.

If the teacher left plans for the sub, the sub went through some sort of training on how to take over a class for a day and the sub knowingly ignored the plans and did what she wanted, then the g-father should be suing her personally. I'm just not sure how the school is liable - maybe someone else can point it out, I don't see it.

However, could she have done anything more stupid than show an R rated movie to a bunch of 12 year olds?

Every adult person associated with this story is utterly ridiculous.

Why bother at all with MPAA ratings if 12-year-olds can so easily be shown R-rated movies without their parents' or guardians' permission?

Could this be how teacher/student relationships begin? Is this a predator behavior? Now the boys know that "Ms. Buford" will show them "dirty movies." How is that different than an adult enticing a child with coming over to play with a Playstation?

So I guess that’s what teacher meant by bringing fudge to class.

While I’m not in favor of lawsuits generally, they seem to be the only tool that has any effect on public “educators”.

Showing any R rated films to children under 18 is not acceptable. Every teacher knows that. There is really no excuse for the teacher in question. Substitute teachers, sometimes without lesson plans, look for anything to cover their time in classes. And, if the film is available and the teacher can feel intellectually bold and daring by showing it, well, you see here what can happen.

This clown wasn’t a substitute teacher, the proper term would be ‘gay activist’, premediatively acquiring supervisory status over children.

The school should be sued and investigated for allowing this, the activist should be charged & sued and listed as child sex offender and ultimately jailed.

Isn’t it illegal to show a R-rated movie to minors?

“The film, which won three Oscars...”

Oscars aren’t worth a hill of beans. It is about the liberal agenda, not about good (or honest) filmmaking.

But the nation of sheep are still supposed to believe that because a film won an Oscar, it SHOULD be viewed by the masses of all ages.

This was the last straw,” he said. “I feel the lawsuit was necessary because of the warning I had already given them on the literature they were giving out to children to read. I told them it was against our faith.”

‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’

If their faith is islam, they will win the suit with out going to trial. If they are Christians, the board will fight the suit in court and win.

The substitute asked a student to shut the classroom door at the West Side school, saying: "What happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class," according to the lawsuit.

Ping!
