(WriteChic Press) New Haven, Connecticut.
Administrators in New Haven found nothing funny about a substitute teacher’s decision to show the Simpson’s Movie to elementary school children. Officials have fired 30-year-old Aquil Abdul-Salaam for showing an alleged bootleg copy of the film. School officials say they did warn Abdul-Salaam that the PG-13 rated film was not age appropriate for children. Officials said Abdul-Salaam admitted showing the movie to students at Beecher School between mid-September and Oct. 4. Beecher includes grades kindergarten through seventh grade. The movie is rated as inappropriate for children under 13 and contains mild profanity, cartoon nudity and adult humor.

He should be fired. I don’t recall adult satire being in any elementary or middle school curriculum.
sou legal
Damn, the kids would have had a blast. Expensive price for the the teacher to pay!
I am John Edwards, a democrat, that is in te elections for President. I think that this scene should not be shown in elementry schools. Please vote for me. I am with the Simpsons.
Although the kids would have had a blast, this is definitely not a kids’ movie, and should never be shown in an elementary class. It is an adult show, as it always has been, and contains material that is way out of line for young kids.
That said, perhaps this could have been shown in high school. I doubt I’d have any problem with that.
Oh, and if that’s really you, John Edwards, I vote Libertarian.

[...] Doh! Teacher Fired for showing Simpsons Movie – Aquil Abdul-Salaam was fired, not because the copy was allegedly a bootleg, not because it’s non-standard curiculum, but because the movie has been deemed inappropriate for children. I’ve seen the movie. The rating is ridicoulous, and the movie is tamer than Bambi. [...]

Dermot McCall! Hi. I got it from Samuel J. Scott’s site, but I’ll link it to you. Great picture.
