Why Are R Rated Movies Being Shown in Public Schools?

A girl and her grandparents have sued the Chicago Board of Education, alleging that a substitute teacher showed the R-rated film "Brokeback Mountain" in class.

The lawsuit claims that Jessica Turner, 12, suffered psychological distress after viewing the movie in her eighth-grade class at Ashburn Community Elementary School last year.


Why are movies being shown in public school classrooms in the first place? The students are suppose to be there to learn not to watch movies. The fact that it was an R rated movie is deplorable.
