Parents of a bunch of roughly 12 year old students were up in arms over their kids having seen the first 7-9 minutes of 300. The school board acknowledges that within the small bit of movies that the students watched, there was no murder, no nudity, no sex, and very little actual violence, but parents are still going apeshit – spitting such unbelievable bullshit as “My little Suzy can’t sleep after the horror she watched in that monster’s classroom!”

“We don’t allow R-rated movies in our home. It’s humiliating for Westside, but I can see where the teacher had a history lesson he was trying to get across,” she said. “I hate it for the school and the teacher. I know he was trying to hook them into being interested in that war and that age.”

How much you wanna bet me that at least half of those kids have seen any of the Lord of the Rings series? There’s a whole shitload of violence in those movies too. Let’s not forget the Spidermans, the PiratesPirates reviews of the Carribeans. ViolenceViolence reviews abounds these days. If the teacher had shown my kids the whole movie, I might be kinda ticked, but this was the mildest few minutes of the whole freakin’ movie, for fucks sake!
